What do you like best about OpenFlows WorkSuite?

It can create different models for sanitary systems with good amount of accuracy taking in consideration the losses through the system. Also, it helps in increasing information mobility through the project itself which leads to rely on the models results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenFlows WorkSuite?

You have to go through a lot of inputs, levels, and other variables to make sure to get the best accurate results, which is fine but it is somehow time consuming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenFlows WorkSuite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Building Sewer models, creating profiles for pipe systems, checking manholes distribution, confirming adequate flow rate and pressure through the system. This program is really helpful with creating different scenarios which again, provide more accurate and realistic results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenFlows WorkSuite?

I think it is extremely helpful for those that heavily specialize in hydraulic flow modeling. It cuts out a lot of calculation time as long as you are extremely familiar with all the calculations you would normally do by hand or another program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenFlows WorkSuite?

There's a huge learning curve. For advanced users that master all the features, this is very very time saving. I wish that there were videos/text that are created by sewerCad to tell you simple answers such as "how to find flow rate"... press this and that. It'd be helpful for a keyword search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenFlows WorkSuite:

I think it would be very helpful to watch a lot of youtube tutorials first in order to understand advanced functions (if you already know the basics) first. I spent a lot of time trying to grasp the basics from youtube videos and that was time consuming in itself. I would hope Sewer cad has their own faster tutorial if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenFlows WorkSuite solving and how is that benefiting you?

It takes a lot of time to learn about the features unless you have a mentor sitting right next to you telling you what to press and why. If you are the mentor that understands every feature and how time saving the program is, it is useful. I think long time usage of this product makes sense. Since I only used it briefly, I spent more times watching hot to videos from bentley on youtube to grasp the fundamentals. Even that was a bit time consuming. Would SewerCad have their own faster tutorial course? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenFlows WorkSuite?

Scenario management! This feature is sooo powerful! I used other softwares before, but I haven´t seen any that can handle multiple scenarios like the OpenFlows softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenFlows WorkSuite?

It is not WaterGEMS. I really could use some of the Darwin Calibrator tools, maybe we could pay per use. It would be interesting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenFlows WorkSuite:

I do not have any recommendation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenFlows WorkSuite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am evaluating the economical feasability to improve waternetworks. How much resources are needed to built and operate it, and then make an assessment of the water tariffs and payback time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenFlows WorkSuite?

SewerCad provides ready to use calculators for all the typical design parameters involved in sewer design. These basic calculations, such as Manning’s velocity, are really easy to use and conveniently export into a report ready format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenFlows WorkSuite?

It is great for addressing a few specifics pipes or features like inlets or orifices, however for a large system their doesn’t appear to be an easy way to develop a representation from a CAD file or otherwise, while the reporting is also less convenient on a system wide basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenFlows WorkSuite solving and how is that benefiting you?

SewerCAD keeps the workflow flowing steady by solving fundamental equations related to sewer design. Whether you need to achieve a certain velocity in a pipe or just want to know the flow rate through an orifice, you can iterate on design parameters easily, switching between set conditions without having to reset up your spreadsheet.
