Released in early 2024 with updates through v24.00.02.21 (February 2025), OpenFlows StormCAD v24 (x64) empowers civil engineers with dynamic stormwater analysis tools, optimizing sewer designs and BMPs while ensuring compliance with SSO/CSO regulations in a multi-platform environment (GIS, CAD, standalone).
Key Highlights
- Query-Based Active Topology – Dynamically select and analyze network subsets using SQL-like queries for targeted scenario testing and efficient model management.
- Selection Set Groups – Organize complex models by grouping selection sets, streamlining visualization and comparison of alternatives like pipe sizing or inlet placements.
- Measurement Tools in Standalone – Built-in length and area calculators for quick site assessments without external software.
- Enhanced Search Features – Fast searching in TreeViews (scenarios, alternatives) and ListViews (contours, selection sets) to navigate large datasets effortlessly.
- Rational Method Runoff – Supports Hydro-35 data, IDF tables/equations, and multiple time-of-concentration methods (e.g., Kirpich, SCS Lag) for accurate catchment calculations.
- Inlet & Gutter Analysis – FHWA HEC-22 methodology for grate/curb/slot inlets; verifies gutter flow spreads to prevent street flooding.
- Interoperability & Performance – MicroStation 2024 integration, ProjectWise 2024 support, and shapefile exports with .PRJ coordinate files for seamless collaboration.
