OpenFlows StormCAD and CivilStorm - AulaGEO

This introductory course presents Bentley OpenFlows StormCAD and CivilStorm, two important stormwater modeling and analysis programs, for the first-time user. In three exercises that become increasingly complex, you will use real-world data and modeling practices to build, analyze, and optimize a storm sewer network.
You'll start with the basic principles of establishing a stormwater network, consisting of catchments, basins, pipes, junctions and outlets. You will gradually learn how to enter storm data into the model using IDF curves, evaluate network performance through network profiles and FlexTables, while also being able to recognize potential issues such as bottlenecks or flooding.
Subsequent exercises look at more complex modeling for tailwater conditions and hydraulic jumps, ultimately working all the way through a complete process by using ESRI Shapefile data. You will go through the step-by-step ModelBuilder wizard and rainfall data input, including TRex for extraction of terrain elevation, the validation of the design against performance constraints needed for the system you are designing.
The course has been designed for either those starting in hydrologic modelling or those wanting to review their know-how in stormwater design. Structured practical content through tutorials or downloadable material will provide clearly articulated next steps.
