NetTools 1.0.0 in Osgeo4W flush


We have been working on the nettools for udig a while now. The aim is to have tools to handle water supply systems and stromwater networks.

Well the first part is out. Epanet inside uDig for water supply systems.

It gives the possibility to create networks inside the GIS



And has wizards to run simulations



It has also been used in developing countries already, for planning and training purposes



Guess what is missing as usual? The manual... I really hope someone gets that one done. Downside is that for now the tools have to be used by trying them and asking for help in the udig mailinglist.

For now the nettools are available in the Osgeo4W installer.

A little tutorial about the use of the NetTools is a great help for many users, included me.

Hi Sidney, I understand the need for documentation. The problem is that we had no resources to create a manual for the tools.

The courses planned soon about the nettools should provide a first Italian manual: http://jgrasstechtips.blogspot.com/2011/09/migg-and-nettools-courses-planned.html

Then translation should come along.

I am sorry that won't be right now.

Hi,
I am a user of Epanet, I learned that there is a plugin for uDig but do not know where I can download it and how to install.
Could you help me?
thanks

Hi Antonio, as stated in the post, a version of uDig with the nettools is available in the Osgeo4W installer. Just download and run: http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe
When you come to the selection of the software to install (advanced install mode), search for nettools. It will install all the needed dependencies without problems.

Hi, thank you for your valuable suggestions. Is there an online guide for the use of the application? Created the model can be exported to EPANET?
