Bentley provides the manual in two formats:

Bentley does not hide its manuals, but they are not on a simple landing page either. Here are the three verified methods to obtain the PDF.

Many civil engineering departments have educational licenses. Professors often provide students with a verified PDF via a secure university portal.

The foundation of WaterGEMS is its robust calculation engine, capable of simulating various hydraulic scenarios.

Bentley’s free (with account creation) LEARN server contains video tutorials, datasets, and downloadable course manuals. Search for “WaterGEMS Hydraulic Modeling” — these course guides are abridged versions of the full manual, verified and version-controlled.

In engineering, accuracy is paramount. Using an unverified or outdated manual can lead to critical errors, such as:

The OpenFlows team (Bentley’s water division) frequently hosts webinars. Attendees receive verified slide decks and example PDFs that mirror manual content.
