OpenFlows Hydraulic Toolset: a set of hydraulic calculation tools to simplify analysis and design
Résolvez les défis de conception et analysez les éléments hydrauliques rapidement et facilement
OpenFlows Hydraulic Toolset is a powerful and easy-to-use hydraulic computing software that helps engineers solve the design problems of individual hydraulic components – unlike the entire network, which is better analyzed with OpenFlows Water, OpenFlows Sewer or OpenFlows Storm. It is a set of complementary applications for rapid calculations to analyze different hydraulic elements.

Key Features
Hydraulic calculations and analyses
![]() | Hydraulic calculations and analyses Designed for hydraulic components such as open canals, pipes, drains, hoses, orifices and weirs, the software offers analytical tools allowing engineers to quickly calculate essential parameters such as depth, flow, slope, roughness and much more. Simply indicate a property to be solved to instantly obtain the other results, such as speed, hydraulic radius or Froude number. Earn in productivity, reduce design costs and solve concrete cases in minutes with an intuitive interface. Produce comprehensive reports, assessment curves and detailed flow profiles. |
Design and analyze any hydraulic element
The pipe design solver enables the management of parameters such as length, upstream and downstream altitudes, pressure, flow, diameter or roughness according to project needs.
The hydraulic calculation module for drainers and hoses based on the recommendations of the Federal Highway Administration Circular No. 22 (FHWA) and covers various types of systems, including sewer grids, edge, combined, ditch, or groove channels, for gravitational or vacuum runoff facilities.
The calculator for open channels supports the analysis of the flow rate, capacity, normal depth, variable slope flow profile, and the dimensions, slope and roughness of the channels, with the possibility of using a weighted roughness method.
Finally, Weir and orifice calculators different types of structures: rectangular, wide ridged, triangular, trapezoidal, rectangular, circular or custom openings.
Hydraulic analysis and design of culverts
![]() | Hydraulic analysis and design of culverts The culvert analysis functions, which comply with the requirements of the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), allow for the efficient modeling of complex configurations. They cover both single duct systems and multiple duct structures of various shapes, sizes and openings, taking into account downstream hydraulic effects as well as road overflows. The dimensioning of culverts is automated according to the maximum flow and upstream level defined. Design reliable and usable culverts for your reports, evaluate existing structures and easily compare multiple variants. Centralize all designs and simulations of a project in a single file for better organization. |
Comprehensive analysis and design
The quick culvert calculator allows hydraulic calculations on simple structures with known characteristics.
Lculvert analysis tool is designed to model complex configurations, including pavement overflows and multiple ducts of various shapes and dimensions.
As regards the culvert design calculatorIt facilitates comparison of hydraulic performance between different options. All calculations are based on the test methods of the FHWA HDS-5 manual, a reference for the hydraulic design of road culverts in the United States.
Development of essential designs
Bentley's Hydraulic Toolset software was instrumental in the design development phase, helping us solve the many design challenges of the project.
