PRODUCT DATA SHEET

CivilStorm® Comprehensive Stormwater Modeling and Analysis CivilStorm is a fully dynamic, multi-platform, hydraulic modeling solution developed for the analysis of complex stormwater systems. Engineers can analyze these systems using built-in hydraulic and hydrology tools and a variety of wet-weather calibration methods. From stormwater master plan development to water quality studies, CivilStorm provides an easy-to-use environment for engineers to analyze, design, and operate stormwater systems. One Solution for all Stormwater System Modeling Needs CivilStorm performs comprehensive analysis of all aspects of stormwater systems: rainfall, runoff, inlet capture and by, gravity and pressure piping, ponds, outlet structures, open channels, culverts, and more. Engineers can analyze pressure and free-surface flow conditions for networks of channels and closed conduits; model complex pond outlets for a variety of tailwater conditions; and use weirs, orifices, culverts, risers, and inlet boxes in their design, all within a single product.

Model in Stand-alone or Within Favorite CAD Platform CivilStorm works as a stand-alone application, or can be run from within MicroStation or AutoCAD. Regardless of the platform used, CivilStorm maintains a single set of modeling files for true interoperability across platforms, for multiple background layers, conversion utilities from CAD, GIS, and databases, and unlimited undo and redo.

Map and model systems in a scaled environment whether the work is done in the stand-alone, MicroStation, or AutoCAD interface.

Built-in Stormwater Hydrology Engineers can load models with wet weather runoff flows derived from precipitation using the CivilStorm built-in rainfall distributions, or defined rainfall events. Runoff flows are modeled using a choice of hydrograph methods, including RTK, SCS, Modified Rational, EPA -SWMM, or -defined generic unit hydrographs.

CivilStorm can run from within MicroStation – at no additional cost – providing a geospatial and engineering design environment with unrivaled visualization and publishing tools. AutoCAD s can choose to add to run CivilStorm models from within AutoCAD, to build and lay out models with engineering precision in an environment with which they are already comfortable.

Low Impact Development

Streamlined Model Building

Modelers can easily switch among multiple solvers, according to the type of system they are analyzing.

Engineers can leverage geospatial data, CAD drawings, databases, and spreadsheets to jump-start the model building process. CivilStorm provides synchronized database connections, geospatial links, and advanced model-building modules that connect with virtually any digital data format. In addition, modelers can import SWMM files as well as StormCAD files into CivilStorm. CivilStorm also provides drawing and connectivity review tools to guarantee a hydraulically coherent model.

Easy Model Management with Scenarios The Scenario Management Center in CivilStorm gives engineers full control to configure, run, evaluate, visualize, and compare an unlimited number of scenarios within a single file. Engineers can easily make decisions by comparing alternative designs or proposed rehabilitation methods for a variety of system conditions (including pre- and post-development).

CivilStorm can model the effect that low impact development controls have in retaining runoff before it enters the stormwater system.

Multiple Solvers

• To solve the Saint Venant equations, s can choose between CivilStorm’s explicit EPA SWMM solver and the implicit dynamic wave engine. These two dynamic engines for storage effects within structures and quantify flooding should it occur. Engineers can also use the SWMM water quality features to comply with water quality regulations. • With the rational/gradually varied flow solver, peak flows in the storm sewer system are calculated using the rational method. Use this solver to analyze peak flow conditions, or to automatically design storm sewers.
