Applies To Product(s): Bentley StormCAD, Bentley CivilStorm Version(s): 08.11.04.54 Environment: N\A Area: Modeling Subarea: N\A Original Author: Jesse Dringoli, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem How can I perform inlet/gully spacing in StormCAD? Can StormCAD automatically place my catchbasin nodes based on design requirements? Solution The current version of StormCAD can automatically design pipe sizes, inverts and inlet sizes. Catchbasins must already be placed in the desired locations. If you would like to perform inlet/gully spacing, a recommended workflow would be to use Bentley MX Drainage and data interoperability with StormCAD. The spacing of inlets/gullies is automated in MX Drainage; it will automatically work out where to put them based on cross slopes and gradients, and an allowable spread width. If you have access to MX, you can use the following workflow: 1) Lay out the model and perform inlet spacing in Bentley MX Drainage 2) Import the MX model into CivilStorm or StormCAD for further analysis (File Import MX) 3) When done, export back to MX for drawing production (File Export LandXML) Note that future versions of StormCAD may be enhanced to provide this spacing functionality in automated design.
