For a network analysis project, I need to know the interoprability between watercad and sewercad (e.g. if the model is built in sewercad, can we import it to watercad and use it?) and what are the issues involved.
On a more theoretical note, I also want to know if the two softwares use different solution algorithms and modules as it appears that there is significant difference in their solution times (15 minutes for sewercad as against 1-2 minutes for watercad). I know that both of them use genetic algorithms.
I am aware that the basic purpose of the two is for different waters and there are some associated differences such as watercad does not have gravity mains and loading to wetwells with diurnal variations. Does anyone also know to get around this issue if we model wastewate network in watercad? Any insights/ comments are welcome.
Thanks
