Bentley Systems announces the availability of the CONNECT Editions of WaterGEMS, WaterCAD, and HAMMER, applications used for the analysis and design of water networks. These new releases streamline specific modelling tasks and make users more productive so they can focus more on the engineering decision-making process.

Key new capabilities allow users to:

• Create and manage customised reports that automatically combine graphs, data tables, colour-coded and annotated plan views, and more into a single report;
• Access tools quickly through a modernised ribbon-based user interface with built-in search to find commands more easily;
• Create AVI movies of model animations to share with others;
• Integrate with AssetWise Operational Analytics, Bentley’s tool for real-time predictive and operational analytics, for decision support;
• Run historical simulations using actual operation of pump and valve controls based on SCADA system records;
• Model turbines for energy and revenue generation;
• Include service laterals in hydraulic analysis, facilitating automatic customer load assignment.
