epanet
(OP)
Hi,
Guys in my office use EPANet to model simple distribution system expansions (usually 8" mains, C900 plastic, pretty standard). I don't know the software very well but I'm concerned about its ability to accurately model sources. The guy that uses it just puts in the static pressure from hydrant test data and calls it good. There doesn't seem to be any way to input residual pressure and flow to accurately model how the existing system is acting. Does anyone have any comment on that, or suggestions for some better software?
Thanks.

RE: epanet
Try several easy scenarios in EPANet to get used to how it works, or spend thousands of dollars on "better" software.
good luck
