It enables water utilities and engineering firms to accelerate past complexity and GIS-modeling integration challenges to create the next generation of industry-changing water infrastructure digital twins and magnify their success through greater precision, performance improvements, streamlined workflows, geoprocessing technology excellence, and superior modeling capabilities.
Key highlights of V5.2 release include:
General
New AquaTwin AI Agent lets users leverage AI agents to analyze and troubleshoot network models, schedule and run various simulations, and generate reports and vivid dynamic dashboards using simple natural-language instructions.
- Talk to Your Model – Analyze models, investigate issues, and retrieve model information through natural-language conversations.
- AI-Powered Troubleshooting – Quickly identify potential model issues, review and compare simulation results, and get guidance for further analysis.
- Automated Reporting – Generate reports, maps, dashboards, summaries, and visualizations without manually assembling data.
- Spatial Intelligence – Combine AquaTwin and ArcGIS Pro powerful features and functionality to simplify spatial queries, mapping, asset analysis, and geoprocessing workflows.
- Multi-Model AI Support – Leverage leading AI models, including OpenAI, Claude, and any LLMs that support MCP connection, together with AquaTwin’s hydraulic modeling capabilities.
- Secure by Design – Create a local MCP server to keep engineering data safe and secure.
- Natural-Language Customization – Configure workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and customize AquaTwin using simple instructions instead of complex scripting.
- Faster Engineering Decisions – Transform complex modeling workflows into concise natural-language requests and actionable insights, improving the way engineers access support, learn, and solve problems.
AquaTwin Water
- New Fire Flow simulation computes the maximum available fire flow that simultaneously meets minimum pressure AND maximum velocity requirements.
- Option to create Fire Flow Capacity Curves based on flow intervals or flow increments.
- Enhanced Saved Queries gives users greater flexibility and usability in formulating, analyzing and comparing multi-parameter combination of hydraulic modeling and geospatial data querying and visualization capabilities.
AquaTwin Sewer & 2D
- Semi-Explicit Dynamic Wave (SWMM5) method enhanced with Anderson acceleration for speeding up fixed-point iteration, Dynamic Preissmann Slot for improved handling of surcharge conditions, and Semi-Implicit Node Continuity formulation for smooth flow transitions.
