Innovyze Introduces H₂ONET V11 for AutoCAD 2013

New Release Delivers Fast, High-Fidelity, High-Performance Smart Water Network Modeling and Simulation Capabilities for Power Users

Broomfield, Colorado USA, September 4, 2012 — Redrawing the boundaries of innovation in the waterworks industry, Innovyze, a leading global innovator of intelligent business analytics software and technologies for wet infrastructure, today released its V11 Generation of H₂ONET for AutoCAD® 2013 (Autodesk, San Rafael, CA), enabling engineers to work faster and more efficiently than ever with very large network models.

Built atop AutoCAD®, the world’s leading CAD platform, H₂ONET delivers breakthrough performance in integrated real-time network modeling, GIS data exchange, spatial database query and analysis across multiple data types, and the sophisticated mapping essential to complete infrastructure (asset) management and business planning. With H₂ONET’s pioneering functionality and state-of-the-art computational algorithms, engineering professionals can directly access CAD and GIS datasets, extract pertinent modeling information, and automatically construct, skeletonize, load, calibrate, analyze, design, operate, and optimize any network model — saving time and money across the enterprise. Such capabilities prove invaluable to water utilities in complying with drinking water quality regulations, understanding and controlling taste and odor problems, developing cost-effective energy solutions for water system operations, improving system reliability and integrity, optimizing capital improvement and rehabilitation programs, enhancing community relations, and planning sound security measures.

V11 marks another milestone in the evolution of Innovyze’s flagship product, H₂ONET, which has set an industry standard for comprehensive CAD-based water distribution engineering and proven to be the premier choice for major ENR design firms and large water utilities around the world. Sophisticated enough for the most complex of projects, yet approachable for beginners, the new H₂ONET V11 has been engineered at deep levels to provide advanced modeling functionality and exponential increases in efficiency and speed while simplifying use. In addition to supporting the newly released AutoCAD® 2013, H₂ONET V11 introduces features that advance core database and graph reporting functions, delivering network modeling capabilities that are faster and more intuitive than ever before. These enhancements propel H₂ONET product suite applications into the next generation and carry on Innovyze’s time-honored practice of continually adding value to its software, bringing unsurpassed modeling innovations into the mainstream, and backing its products with superior high-touch technical support.

“Our priorities have always been to advance the frontiers of modeling technology and support our customers’ successes by making them more productive and competitive,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, Hon.D.WRE,Dist.D.NE, F.ASCE, President and Chief Operating Officer of Innovyze. “Our customers expect accuracy, efficiency, and throughput to generate outstanding designs and modeling solutions as quickly as possible. Supporting AutoCAD® 2013, H₂ONET V11 delivers on our promise to equip customers with the ultimate intelligent decision support tool for water distribution systems. With this latest version, H₂ONET once again raises the bar for fast, high-fidelity, high-performance smart water network modeling and management with unrivaled power, cutting-edge capabilities, rich functionality, and ease of use. From top to bottom, this release is designed to enable world-record modeling performance — allowing our users to increase productivity and quality while achieving their engineering and business goals.
