The V8i interface was a turning point for Bentley. It introduced the system—an exclusive way to view, edit, and export tabular data. If you need to change the Manning's n-value for 500 pipes at once, FlexTables allows you to do it in two clicks.
One of the most powerful "exclusive" features is the automated constraint-based design. You can input your design criteria—such as minimum cover, maximum velocity, and allowable slope—and SewerCAD will automatically size the pipes and determine invert elevations. This reduces hours of manual "trial and error" to seconds of computation. 2. Load Allocation and Peaking Factors
Additionally, the tool is a hallmark of the V8i series. It allows engineers to maintain "What-If" scenarios (e.g., "Future Growth 2040" or "Peak Wet Weather") within a single project file. You don't need to save ten different versions of the same drawing; you simply toggle between scenarios. Integrating SewerCAD V8i into Your Workflow
Utilize the Report Builder to generate professional-grade documentation for regulatory approval, complete with profile drawings and hydraulic grade lines (HGL). Conclusion
Leverage the software's ability to "read" digital terrain models (DTMs) to automatically assign ground elevations to manholes.
To understand the value of this software, one must look at the specific features that define the SewerCAD V8i experience: 1. Automated Design and Cost Optimization
