Bentley unveils CivilStorm V8

The followings information was received from Bentley:

The Haestad Methods Solution Center is proud to announce the latest version of Bentley’s flagship stormwater modeling solution, CivilStorm V8.

The new version represents yet another milestone for the industry, becoming the only stormwater model to offer users two hydrodynamic engines (EPA’s SWMM, and Haestad Methods’, numerically robust and fast, implicit solution), and three different interchangeable and totally compatible platforms: stand-alone, AutoCAD, and now MicroStation.

The new MicroStation interface is a perfect fit for CivilStorm. It is not only the first development of a Haestad Methods product in Bentley’s engineering platform, but also a celebrated industry breakthrough, being MicroStation the platform of choice of forty-eight of the 50 U.S. state transportation departments.

Bentley’s multi-platform technology is allowing users to collaborate effectively as it delivers solutions that integrate with most engineering platforms, including AutoCAD, ArcGIS and MicroStation.

Version 8 also includes many other user-requested features, including support for new unit hydrographs (i.e. Delmarva), enhanced water quality features, direct import from EPA’s SWMM and Bentley’s StormCAD, and the new element prototypes, query-based selection sets, and user-defined attributes.
