EDAMS Network Analysis

The following information was received from EDAMS Technology:

EDAMS Network Analysis brings you all the tools you need for fast and effective network design, analysis and optimisation. Its easy to use graphical interface and strong visual tools combined with its support for digital terrain modeling make it a uniquely powerful, yet intuitive, network analysis system.

EDAMS Network Analysis differs per type of service; at this stage it is available in two versions ג€“ Water and Sewer. Both share a common architecture based on industry-specific methodologies developed by EDAMS Technology over the last twenty years, but offer feature-sets reflecting their target fields.

EDAMS Network Analysis although has its own graphical abilities, it also links to GIS through demand and asset management systems for demand/ load generation and modeling live data.
Tightly integrated with other Utility products in the EDAMS Systems range, both EDAMS Network Analysis Water and Sewer provide extensive growth paths.

Powerful modelling and data handling
EDAMS Network Analysis enables you to easily and accurately model a network of any size and complexity. Using the systemג€™s built in DTM you are also able to view modeling scenarios from a number of different graphical perspectives, with changes made to one representation simultaneously updated across all models. Data can be manually captured or imported from ASCII files or EDAMS Network Asset Management. Network elements can then be manipulated in a schematic form or in a true-to-scale geographical representation. The visual appearance of conduits, nodes and other elements can be intuitively defined thematically. Different views of nodes, pipes and contours can be saved together and several network views can be displayed in separate windows. The built-in DTM will generate contours automatically. Such contours can represent demand, pressure and head as well as elevation, in the case of water networks, or loads on sewers and manholes.

Network Analysis: Water
EDAMS Network Analysis: Water performs fast, reliable and comprehensive hydraulic and dynamic water quality modeling, extended simulation and cost optimisation (design). Its simulation capabilities and integrated water quality components are based on the widely-used EPANET industry standard, as well as internally designed routines for issues not covered by EPANET.

Network Analysis: Sewer
Engineering analysis includes analysis, evaluation and design. Under analysis full input hydrographs are allowed and resulting hydrographs are generated at all points. Pressure flow calculations are also performed for any pumping systems in the network. Both static and dynamic loads are generated using design standards corresponding to: Sewage from properties, additional Seepage, Infiltration and Leakage, Storm water Ingress and additional generated runoff. Geometric evaluation of all network components is also performed highlighting violations as per standards.
