Forcemain Design Software

Forcemain Design Software

(OP)
I am looking for a forcemain design software that is user friendly and not too expensive.  Basically I need to model interconnected forcemains with multiple pumps.  It is not similar to a water distribution network analysis since the flow only moves in one direction and there are no looped networks per se.

Thanks in advance

RE: Forcemain Design Software

Even though your system is not looped it IS similar to a water distribution system, hydraulically.  You could use EPANET (free) or WaterCad (expensive but good).

Good luck

RE: Forcemain Design Software

I'm doing the same thing, modeling a forcemain with several pump connections. I'm currently setting it up using Pipe2000 (newest version of KYPIPE).

I am going to try to model the end, where it connects to a gravity line, as a tank below my pipe elevation. I'm hoping it will see this as filling it up.

Just started the input last week, so I don't know if it will work yet.
