Need Tutorial for Bentley WaterCAD plugin, and EPANet Import

I need some help finding tutorials for WaterCAD when used as a plugin within AutoCAD.

I recently acquired Bentley WaterCAD for AutoCAD 2018, it is structured as a plugin within AutoCAD 2018 (not the standalone software). I have searched around Youtube, Bentley CONNECT, Autodesk forums, most of the tutorials are how to use the Bentley standalone software (WaterGEMS or HAMMER or WaterCAD standalone, etc.). I have not seen a single tutorial or video for how to do it in AutoCAD.

I started the model in EPANet, one of the options I am pursuing is importing into WaterCAD and finishing the model in there. I attached a site map and my EPANet input file for reference (the INP is a TXT, I had to convert for this forum to allow me to attach the file).

My end goal is to model the fire suppression system in WaterCAD. Once the system is modeled, I want to run 4 different scenarios (different hydrants turned on) and generate a performance report (velocity, pressure, and flows throughout the system).

Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
