Architectural components

✏️Course in Development

Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.

Creating a functional and reliable live hydraulic modeling system or Digital Twin isn't magic; it requires a carefully designed architecture composed of several essential building blocks working in concert. This section will break down these key components, giving you a clear understanding of what's needed under the hood. At the very core, naturally, is your calibrated hydraulic model — this is the simulation engine that understands the physics of your network.

But to make it "live," it needs to be connected to a continuous stream of information from your real-time data sources. This includes your supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, potentially networks of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), and an increasing array of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors measuring pressures, flows, water quality parameters, and more throughout your system.
