Is ORCANET free?
Yes, a free account opens instantly, with no credit card, and includes full hydraulic modelling and simulation. The advanced services — calibration, optimisation, water hammer, digital twin — are part of the plans on quotation.

ORCANET is set by capability, not by volume: you do not pay per node or per simulation. Each plan opens a set of services — modelling, calibration, optimisation, transient analysis, digital twin.

The free account
Launch offer
To try it outFree
€0 — forever
No bank card, no quotation, no waiting: the account is active as soon as you sign up and you go straight into the workspace.
Create a free accountDuring the launch, your free account opens the WHOLE platform:
- Hydraulic modelling
- Diagnostics and reports
- AI Copilot
- Automatic calibration
- Advanced optimization
- Transient analysis
- Early warning
- Digital twin
- Office management

When the launch ends, the free account goes back to modelling, simulation, diagnostics and reports; the other services will then require a subscription. Your projects, your networks and your history stay accessible and exportable.

How to subscribe
1. You request a plan
From your account, in one click. No payment is asked for on the platform, and no bank card is entered there.
2. We agree on the amount
We come back to you with a proposal suited to the size of your team and the term you want.
3. We activate your plan
Once payment is agreed, an administrator activates the plan on your account. Your projects and workspaces are left untouched.
What each plan opens
The table is complete: what is not included is marked as such. The plans do not simply stack — early warning, for instance, is open to the Student plan and from Maximum upwards.

Our guarantees
Your work stays yours
A plan governs what you can CREATE, never what you can read back. If your subscription ends, your projects, workspaces and networks remain accessible and exportable.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked
Is there a plan for students?
Yes, two. The Student plan is free with proof of enrolment and opens the advanced computing services on networks of up to ten nodes — enough for a course or lab work. The Student Pro plan opens everything the Professional plan does, at half price, once the student card is verified.
How is a subscription paid?
Offline, on proposal. You request a plan from your account, we agree on the amount, and an administrator activates it once payment is agreed. No payment method is ever requested on the platform.
Do I lose my projects if my subscription ends?
No. A plan governs what you can create, never what you can read: an account back on the free plan keeps access to its projects, workspaces, networks and results, and can still export them.
