WANDA Wiki

Wanda
Wanda is an advanced, interactive software package to support the hydraulic design process
of your pipeline system. The program is used for the hydraulic analysis of steady and unsteady
flow conditions in arbitrary configured pipeline networks. Primary subjects to evaluate and
optimise a hydraulic design are flow capacity, velocity, flow distribution, dynamic behaviour,
economy, safety and control principles. With a hydraulic design, you can direct the mechanical
and process engineering to an effective and efficient system.

Wanda can be applied to a variety of types of pipeline systems, like fire fighting systems,
sewer systems, water distribution networks, industrial plants, oil pipelines, water cooling
systems, hydropower plants and transportation systems for chemical products.

This site provides information on how to use Wanda, it also contains a FAQ and How-To sectio
n. For more information on how to buy Wanda please visit the main Deltares systems website

WANDA 4.5.2 Release

Tjerk Vreeken posted on Feb 21, 2017

This is an important bug fix release that addresses the possible undefined
behavior found in a few components (see Errata announcement WANDA
4.5.1 for more information). It also addresses a few other small bugs in the
user interface, mostly related to the upgrade process of cases made in
earlier versions of WANDA (see Release notes & Errata for a complete list).

Errata announcement WANDA

4.5.1
Tjerk Vreeken posted on Feb 16, 2017

On February 16th a configuration error was found in Wanda 4.5.1 that could
lead to undefined behavior in the following components:
- Air valve (Vent & Vent2Leg)
- Pump when using drive type "Motorfreq"
- Cross (both merging and dividing flow)
- Fast filling pipe
- Orifice

The undefined behavior typically results in a crash, but as the possibility of

wrong results cannot be ruled out, we suggest not using Wanda 4.5.1 for
calculations involving the above components. On Tuesday the 21st of
February the release of Wanda 4.5.2 is scheduled to resolve these issues.

WANDA 4.5 Release

Tjerk Vreeken posted on Feb 09, 2017

Deltares is pleased to announce the availability of WANDA 4.5. This release

 marks the sixth release of the WANDA 4 series, and includes many
improvements including:

The presence of short (8dot3) filenames is no longer required.

Writing output data is faster, which is most noticeable when running
simulations on network storage.
Stability improvements to the Y-junction, the Vent2Leg, and the fast
filling pipe.

Wanda 4.5 can be downloaded from the Deltares Download Portal.
