You're now able to create demand forecasts automatically and directly apply them to IW Live baselines. All of these configurations and results are stored within the InfoWorks WS Pro database, allowing for quick version control and simplifying data management.

Simulate operational changes, such as pipe bursts and valve isolations, all within IWLive Pro. This gives you real-time insights into the impact on the network and affected customers. Every single InfoWorks WS Pro user now has access (in the 2026 version) to IW Live Pro, allowing you to build confidence in using it in your or your clients’ workflows.

The new default simulation option for InfoWorks WS Pro water quality solver is now Topological Node Ordering. This option improves simulations by calculating the transfer of solutes sequentially, keeping in line with the direction of the flow of water throughout the network.

Gain a 10x speed improvement for hydraulic simulations through the use of cloud simulations over previous simulation times.

The InfoWorks WS Pro Skeletonizer tool is enhanced with several improvements to reliably reduce complexity while ensuring consistent and accurate hydraulic behavior. In several test models, the improved toolset reduced 90% of the network in a single repeatable round of reduction.

Modelers can share simulated standard operating conditions for various scenarios with Info360. This can be influential in determining the LoF (Likelihood of Failure) for certain PVC pipes, among other workflows and benefits.

While working in collaborative cloud databases, runs can be flagged as reserved to enable testing of model changes with protected control of iterations.

Simulation diagnostic information for each run’s engine log file is now available in an easier format to review, sort, map, and query. The diagnostic tables summarize snapshot stability, nodes with the greatest imbalance of flow, unstable or unreliable regulator valves, pump and reservoir operation information, and suppressed demands.

The reporting for demand area analysis has improved to make the key results easily available. These results can be copied to network objects for mapping purposes through a right-click option from the demand area grid.

InfoWorks WS Pro supports different versions of the database—enabling backwards compatibility—by toggling on available features and off unsupported functionality. When changing the version, you get a warning message that includes the impact of updating a master database.

InfoWorks WS Pro now reports on how many customers were affected by an incident such as a pipe break, and for how long.

Analyze and compare as many alternatives as you need to represent in the model, with different demands, pump controls, tank sizes, and more. Scenario Manager provides a user-friendly approach to explore alternatives while maintaining data integrity.

You can now import multiple EPANET models or files in one InfoWorks WS Pro model as scenarios. This update enables you to bring .inp files into InfoWorks WS Pro with ease, streamlining the transition process to InfoWorks WS Pro if you have data captured in other tools like WaterGEMS, InfoWater, Mike+, and EPANET.

By importing and exporting, users can now share the InfoWorks WS Pro subset of SQL between models and teams to select and update network objects using specified criteria.

Import, track, audit, and interpret the large quantities of data associated with complex projects quickly and easily.

Tracing tools (including Upstream/Downstream, Boundary, Connectivity, Proximity, and Isolation Trace) help you locate problems or anomalies in the network, identify isolated areas, and understand system layout.

As an essential part of the calibration process that precedes a simulation, InfoWorks WS Pro calculates a domestic demand profile within a demand management area (DMA). Automate this calculation to derive the patterns directly from observed telemetry data.

Demand area analysis interrogates live data to provide a time series of water usage, unmetered consumption, and water losses, including leakage.

Compare elements and results in graphs, long section profiles, and annotations displayed on your network for a better understanding of the model.
