| MWH Soft improves its water modeling software MWH Soft announced improvements to all products in its water modeling family with the debut of Automated Community Fire Protection Infrastructure Manager and Intelligent Scenario Explorer. Both upgrades introduce valuable user-driven enhancements and functionalities, along with architectural and database improvements that make sophisticated water systems analysis and design applications fast and easy to use. Water distribution system components, including pipelines, appurtenances, and storage facilities, are generally sized to provide adequate fire protection. Protection varies according to the size of the area and nature of the property. Utilities are normally required to maintain minimum fire flows and pressures for specified durations, from a single or multiple hydrants, and limit maximum pipe velocities based upon designated land use. The new Intelligent Scenario Explorer supplements MWH Soft's advanced Scenario and Facility Manager and Control Centers by providing a consistent, fully centralized and consolidated data modeling and management environment. In this setting, users can quickly view, analyze, report and compare 'what-if' scenarios in the water distribution network while maintaining a paper trail of design and operational changes to the system. Scenarios can be created by mixing and matching any desired combination of modeling data sets describing specific aspects and wide range of conditions of the system: different demand and fire flow loadings, facility sets, and operational control and settings for various planning horizons. These capabilities offer users good opportunities for modeling and collaboration, improved data quality and operational efficiencies, and decreased redundancy of work steps. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
