Documentation

Everything that explains ORCANET, in one place.

What the platform does, what sets it apart, and how to learn to use it.

In short — The ORCANET documentation: what the platform does, its optimisation engines, water hammer, satellite-map drawing, the comparison with EPANET, a glossary, a twenty-chapter user manual and guided training.
