## What Is OpenFlows Water?
- [Scenario Management](https://www.bentley.com/software/openflows-water/#section-tzoid-0-7fcca67f)
-

## Scenario Management

Perform multiple hydraulic model scenarios using alternative data sets to simulate the system under a variety of what-if conditions. Analyze pipe and valve criticality to determine the weakest links in your water distribution system.

- [Transient Simulation](https://www.bentley.com/software/openflows-water/#section-tzoid-1-7fcca67f)
-

## Transient Simulation and Analysis

Use water hammer and hydraulic analysis software to efficiently identify, manage, and mitigate the risks associated with transients.

-

## Hydraulic Modeling

Build your hydraulic model quickly, synchronizing network data from standard formats that include GIS and CAD files, databases, and spreadsheets. Be compatible with various data formats and sources.

- [Model Calibration](https://www.bentley.com/software/openflows-water/#section-tzoid-3-7fcca67f)
-

## Model Calibration

Apply AI-powered automated calibration using Darwin® Calibrator and ensure your model is calibrated and accurate in any condition—including peak days, component failures, fire flows, and future demands—by eliminating discrepancies between the model and field data.

- [Design Optimization](https://www.bentley.com/software/openflows-water/#section-tzoid-4-7fcca67f)
-

## Design Optimization

Use Darwin Designer to automatically determine maximum pressure benefits, minimum cost designs, and rehabilitation strategies based on available budget, construction cost, and pressure and velocity constraints.
