Softplan covers all needs in the design process of water supply, sewage and drainage networks. You work with digitl terrain models, design in plan and profiles, perform hydraulic modelling with the included EPANET and EPA SWMM calculation cores, create pipe network clash analyses, import networks from GIS and and export 3D pipe network models to .ifc.

• Advanced tools for fast and accurate plan, profile and trench design
• Robust hydraulic calculation with included EPANET and EPA SWMM engines
• Wide range of data analysis tools with serch, filter, sort, query & color-coding
• Easy adjustment to local design practice with configurations and catalogs
• Works well with large and complex pipe networks

Description

DESIGN Softplan combines a standard engineering approach with modern design requirements. You can work with elements in plan and profile views, use digital terrain models, import existing networks from GIS, change view styles and add/edit equipment catalogs for pipes, manholes, etc. The project is saved as a standard DWG file, making it easy to create backups and share projects. When a certain design phase is finished, you can export the network to widely-used BIM and GIS formats. ANALYSIS Softplan helps develop alternative project scenarios and select the optimal solution. Use a wide range of tools for searching, filtering, sorting, comparing and displaying data. Add user-defined data and assign it to network elements, build querries with simple logical operators, and create your own selection sets. Advanced tools include clash and clearance analysis of pipe networks, crossing analysis for pipe networks and parcels, and network analysis that helps find issues and missing data. CALCULATIONS Softplan connects design functions with the hydraulic calculation of water supply, sewage, and drainage systems. Now you can create professional CAD designs and hydraulic calculations in one software! You can display results throughout the program, including labels, tables, profiles, and reports. Analyze hydraulic values like flow and pressure, and add graphs to the plan view. Water: Use the included EPANET module Set network elements (tanks, pumps, valves,…) Calculate water demands Optimize pipe diameters Import/export network with hydraulic modeling software Sewage and drainage: Use the included EPA SWMM module Define catchment areas Calculate storm and sanitary flows Design and optimize pipe networks (gravity and pressure), and open channels Export network to hydraulic modeling software Softplan provides cutting-edge tools for: + Fast drawing and data import + Connecting CAD design with hydraulic modeling + Detailed project analysis + Creating accurate documentation + Customizing profiles, labels, cross sections Softplan connects to other software you use: + BricsCAD digital terrain model + Google Maps raster/elevation points import + Hydraulic modelling software (.inp) + GIS (.shp, databases) + BIM (.ifc) Start saving on your design time, get better results and prepare for future BIM workflows.
