Program features
PC-Convey has been used daily by Melbourne Water, one of Australia's foremost Water Authorities, as a primary flood-level calculation tool for 30 years and has been used by Land Development Engineers, Consultants and Councils for 25 years. It was originally written specifically to simplify the design and analysis of single, unobstructed open channels of any shape, with fixed or varying Manning's n. Over the years a number of other features have been added.
Powerful editing tools
4 Input Modes simplify data input
Shear stress calculations, both unfactored as calculated by HEC-RAS and factored in accordance with Melbourne Water's Constructed Waterway Design Manual (2019)
Constructed Waterway Designer vastly simplifies the design of these waterways
HEC-RAS models can easily be created from PC-Convey cross-sections
Pipe flow calculator estimates pipe capacities and prints rating tables
Templates simplify design further
easily import cross-section data in (chainage, elevation) format from, for example, spreadsheets, notepad or Hec-Ras
easily import data via a .csv file
output results to a text file for importing into a spreadsheet program for preparation of rating curves, graphs etc.
detailed "Windows-style" Help
cross-sections can have different grades for the Main Channel and the Left and Right Overbank Areas
view/print the freeboard for a cross-section
warnings for safety risk values of velocity x depth (average or maximum) and depth in overbank areas and the main channel
can be used in any situation with free tailwater conditions and steady flow where the use of Manning's equation is appropriate
detailed printouts of data and results (including a graph of the cross-section)
reduces errors by having the software carry out calculations for you
saves money by increasing productivity (fast and easy to design, analyse and edit cross-sections)
