Graphical Data Interface (GDI)
The Graphical Data Interface (GDI) provides map-style access to model geometry. Integrate bitmap (BMP), Drawing Interchange File (DXF), or Shape (SHP) files as background maps. Draw schematics using point-and-click entry, relative distance/angle entry, or direct coordinate mapping with pop-up data inspection screens and color-coded tracing.
Core Functional Capabilities
Background GIS Integration
Integrate spatial rasters and vector files (BMP, DXF, SHP) to anchor models directly to real-world geospatial templates.
Precision Schematic Drafting
Construct network layouts seamlessly via point-and-click entry, relative offset angles, or absolute coordinates.
Real-Time Model Edits
Modify network elements, update pipe specifications, and execute instant spatial calculations dynamically on canvas.
Pop-Up Data Inspection
Access immediate node and pipe details through dynamic pop-up inspection overlays without losing context on the map grid.
Color-Coded Flow Tracing
Visualize pressure profiles, directional flows, and velocity gradients directly across system components via custom color coding.
GIS Layer Synchronization
Overlay hydraulic models onto existing municipal enterprise GIS layers to verify topological alignment and asset attributes.
