What’s the difference between StormCAD and CivilStorm?
StormCAD and CivilStorm are complementary products with the following main differentiating features: a. Hydraulic engine under the hood: StormCAD’s gradually varied flow engine makes it ideal for peak-flow simulations for system design and rehabilitation. On the other hand, CivilStorm 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. Automated design and rehabilitation: StormCAD users can leverage constraint-based automatic design features and flexible profiling features for optimized storm sewer designs. CivilStorm does not currently include automated constraint-based design features. c. Modeling elements: StormCAD users can model catch basins, manholes, gravity pipes, prismatic channels, gutters, catchments and outlet structures. In addition to all StormCAD elements, CivilStorm users can also model non-prismatic open channels, culverts, pumps, wet wells, and de
