As part of Bentley Systems, FLOOD has an added value of being integrated into a broad portfolio and roadmap of interoperable and collaborative technologies and products across multiple disciplines and competences. Some unique examples of the advantages of being integrated into the Bentley software environment:
FLOOD can run based in DSM generated by ContextCapture, which uses photogrammetric techniques applied to surveys in LIDAR or images from cameras to generate reality mesh models.
You can seamlessly have 4D visualization of FLOOD output results in Bentley’s LumenRT, integrating life-like digital nature into simulated infrastructure designs, and create high-impact visuals for stakeholders.
FLOOD can integrate with Bentley’s OpenCities Planner, a cloud-based service that enables visualization of 2D, 3D, and GIS data in a city-scale digital twin where you can design, visualize, and communicate projects from large-scale city developments to detailed architectural design.
You can use FLOOD outputs to feed mobility modeling and accessibility in Cube software.
You can design a road using OpenRoads ConceptStation, and then generate the surface mesh model and easily ingest it in FLOOD.
You can use FLOOD projects to implement and configure flood early warning / forecasting systems, through the application of ACTION Server product.
Integration with OpenFlows SewerGEMS project allows you to use the designed 1D network and to run 1D:2D model approach inside FLOOD. FLOOD improves your efficiency for setting up 2D flow models, running, post-processing and visualizing the results. Â It is the only tool capable of doing the full modeling cycle with all the advanced tools for handling models and results. FLOOD can run coupled 1D (natural or artificial channels, in both surface and subsurface) and 2D (overland flow) models.
FLOOD can also be coupled with SWMM to run 1D and 2D models but integration with OpenFlows SewerGEMS provides a smoother experience.
Being a full GIS system, FLOOD can cover your needs to consume, manipulate and generate data and model results in multiple formats (e.g. shapefiles, GDAL RASTER files, Google Earth KML/KMZ, TIN files, INP drainage network models from SWMM). This allows you to establish input / output data fluxes and interoperability across an array of software products.
