OpenFlows provides a complete solution for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure, allowing engineers to develop highly detailed models of complex fluid dynamics. Built on Bentley’s industry-leading simulation technology, OpenFlows combines GIS and CAD integration with rigorous hydraulic engines to support every phase of the water lifecycle.
The software enables designers to create accurate distribution models, manage collection system capacity, and simulate various “what-if” scenarios to improve infrastructure resilience. By connecting design data with operational digital twins, OpenFlows improves visibility for all stakeholders and supports better decision-making throughout planning, design, and emergency response. Using OpenFlows, teams can work more efficiently while ensuring the safety and sustainability of vital water resources.
OpenFlows supports a wide range of water infrastructure projects across urban, industrial, and rural environments. Key applications include:
Water distribution network modeling and pressure analysis
Fire flow testing and emergency response planning
Wastewater collection system and manhole capacity modeling
Urban stormwater management and flood mitigation planning
Water quality simulation and contaminant tracing
Energy cost optimization for pumping and operations
Integration of hydraulic models with GIS and CAD data
Digital twin workflows for real-time water system monitoring
These capabilities allow engineers and planners to design water systems that are more efficient, resilient, and better aligned with long-term environmental goals.
