Hi Folks
I am doing some research on pressure pipe analysis workflows.
What are you using for potable water network analysis? Forcemain analysis? Other pressure transmission lines (gas, etc)?
Last time I did system and fire flow for water networks, my company had some custom spreadsheets and excell add ons that were tabular and had to have manual entry.
What might other people be working with?

for WaterCAD (and other) users:
Tell me about how you get your
data into it? What inputs does it take?
What outputs do you
use?
Do you make exhibits and reports that need to be turned
into agencies? Is there any information that you take back into your Civil
3D/LDT/Autocad environment?
Create 3DPolylines of the pipe network. Drape them on the surface, then lower 3' or what ever distance is required. Export to SHP file and import the SHP file into WaterCAD.

Dana -
Can you tell us whether or not Civil 3D will incorporate a haydraulic analysis tool and if so do you have a time frame? I am about to spend some money on WaterCAD and SewerCAD and before I drop some coin, I would really like to know what you know. It would be swell if you guys did but if not I understand too.
On a side note, WaterGEMS from Bentley supports AutoCAD but not Civil3D, is it because of how new Civil3D is and AutoDesk does not share sensitive program language or is Bentley trying to pull away from AutoDesk?
Thank you in advance!
