About CivilStorm
A multiplatform hydraulic and hydrologic modeling solution for analyzing stormwater systems, improving pond design, and detecting system bottlenecks to ensure regulatory compliance.
OpenFlows Storm is a specialized hydraulic and hydrologic modeling application from Bentley Systems, engineered for public works professionals and civil engineers. It provides a robust environment for planning, designing, and analyzing stormwater systems, with a focus on mitigating urban flooding and ensuring regulatory compliance. The software supports both 1D and 2D hydraulic analysis, allowing users to simulate complex network behaviors, including pipe flow, culvert performance, and pond storage. Its integration with GIS data and other Bentley infrastructure tools makes it a versatile choice for large-scale urban drainage projects. While the software offers advanced simulation capabilities, users should anticipate a learning curve typical of professional-grade engineering tools. Bentley provides extensive support through its community forums, knowledge base, and expert-led training programs. Pricing is generally handled through direct sales or license plans, reflecting its enterprise-focused nature.
