What’s the difference between SewerCAD and SewerGEMS?
SewerCAD and SewerGEMS are complementary products with the following main differentiating features: a. Hydraulic engine under the hood: SewerCAD’s gradually varied flow engine makes it ideal for steady-state and extended period simulations for system design and rehabilitation. SewerCAD users can analyze sanitary sewer networks under peak flow conditions with convex routing hydraulics. On the other hand, SewerGEMS uses a fully-dynamic engine (full resolution of St. Venant’s equations) that helps users to accurately model looped networks, flow splits, overflows, and storage capacity. b. Interfaces and interoperability: SewerCAD comes in two flavors depending on your interface preference: Stand-alone or AutoCAD. SewerGEMS comes in one flavor including four interfaces: Stand-alone, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, and MicroStation. c. Automated design and rehabilitation: SewerCAD users can leverage constraint-based automatic design features and flexible profiling features for optimized sanitary sewer desi
