ArchitectureFeatures
Uses GeoGraphics model Symbolization Thematic
Synchronized with MicroStation Level Management system ByLevel display
Topology Database driven Some placement rules
Architecture Allows for tracing across
map tiles
Easy swapping out of active and reference files
Loading of map tiles by point and click or seamless
Place
To place any Bentley Water elements, a ‘Node’ must first be placed.
Nodes are distribution points for pipes.
Each pipe MUST have a beginning and an end node.
Pipes may have vertices between nodes.
Components are ‘attached’ to pipes.
Nodes Node ID can be generated
Automatically or Manually
All attribute data can be preset by the user or maintained within a database
Attach: attaches a node to a pipe without creating 2 new pipes
Insert: inserts a node on a pipe and creates 2 new pipes
Pipes
Pipe elevations are calculated from nodes
All attribute data can be preset by the user or maintained within a database
Pipes may be placed parallel to an existing object or interactively
Components
Component ID can be generated Automatically or Manually
All attribute data can be preset by the user or maintained within a database
Components may be placed on a pipe or off-set from the pipe
EditEdit allows the user to update
existing Bentley Water elements
A complete suite of editing tools provided to ensure network connectivity and feature integrity are maintained
Pipe ends may be moved to other nodes. Once moved, all pipe data will recalculate
Recent Features
Place Hydrant ServicePlaces a dead-end hydrant
service branch off of a main in one fluid action
Isolation Trace ReportingCreates a report in HTML of all
Pipes, Nodes, Valves, Consumers and Hydrants found during a pipe isolation trace
Import and Export
Exports Bentley Water elements as an ASCII file
Diagram
Sideview of pipe network shows Z-dimension
Node diagram shows the topview of a selected node and the relative angle of any pipes attached to the node
Theme ID-Box: Generates a box around all node names in a fence, or generate a reference line from
the text to the node
Node: Generates theme graphics based on various pieces of node information
Pipe: Generates theme graphics based on various pieces of pipe information
Component: Generates theme graphics based on various pieces of component information
Connection: Analyzes the current connectivity status of the network, showing how the water flows from a selected node through the pipes
Isolate: Finds the nearest valves that will close a water supply before making repairs
Station: Draws stationing lines perpendicular to the pipe at a specified interval
WorkorderWork orders provide a way to gather and organize facilities added or modified in response to a particular request.
Rule-based annotation
Cell placement with annotation
Bulk assignment of attribute to like elements
Automatic plan and profile generation
Automatic service load calculations
Sideviews/pipe terrain profiles
Node diagrams
Thematic presentation of data
Ability to group features into a work order
Ability to isolate valves to close
List consumers out of service based on valve state
Analysis of directed, weighted, linear networks
Creation and editing of network entities
Shortest path, radial searches, trace forward, trace-back
Annotate automatically from database attributes
Generate buffers and zones for analysis
Measurement tools for distance, area, and volume
Query spatial and ancillary data for selected elements
Utilize Oracle Spatial data for enterprise data access
Add grids and legends to mapping data
Utilize powerful raster tools for image backdrops
Thematic representation of attributes and graphics
Supports high-resolution output to printers and plotters
• User-defined attributes
• Integrated Map Management
• Oracle Spatial compatibility

Flow vs. pressureData ModelThematic toolsDiagram toolsPlace, Edit and UpdateImport and Export WorkorderSupplementary dataSetup
These function the same as
Bentley Water
Bentley Wastewater
In addition Wastewater has:Catchment Area definition and analysisCCTV and Observation maintenance tools
Node diagrams have both a top-view and a side-view
Sideview diagrams also consider:Stowage Elevation – depth of water in a node under ‘normal’
conditionsCritical Elevation – depth of water in a node during ‘flood stage’
prior to a backup
Theme (WasteWater)Node Info: Makes it possible to create texts with different sizes and even different types of information on
several levels by turning the proper levels on and off you can then switch between the different node texts
Node Annotation Box: Generates a box around specified node text
Flow Direction: Displays the direction of the flow by drawing arrows on the pipes
Pipe Elevation: Generates elevation text at the start and end of a pipe
Show Obs: Generates theme graphics displaying various types of observations
Show Physical Index: Highlights different Physical Index intervals; A pipe’s Physical Index (PI) is calculated as: PI = sum(Xi*l) / L
Show Critical Elevation: Highlights where the stowage is above the critical elevation
Show Flow: Creates a thematic presentation that shows how pipes are connected and how water flows. A node may be selected and all pipes that lead to and from the node (upstream and downstream) may be displayed.
