This add-in program extends Water Networks functionality by adding several useful functions and features. These functions include a water hammer check, automated placement of special devices such as vacuum valves and air release valves and more.
Features
- Contours of equal value, based on point data or results, which can be exported to a DXF file.
- Major / minor contours. The major contours are thicker, and they are optionally accompanied by their value. These are also included in the DXF output file.
- Capability of defining a maximum and minimum value for the contours. Contour values that are greater than the maximum value or lower than the minimum value are displayed in separate, customizable colors.
- Integrated water hammer checks and placement of pressure release valves in networks without loops.
- Automated placement of air release valves and vacuum valves where necessary.
- Advanced object renaming.
- Node alignment tool.
- Special functions for designing pipes.
- "Demand distribution", distributes a demand to all the network, depending on the conduits’ lengths.
- Import water areas (closed polylines) from DXF and automatically attach them to adjacent nodes.
- Exact total water area tool calculates the total area for a specified area category.
- Evaluation of ground elevation from TIN network (3DFaces in DXF files).
- Complete integration in Water Networks’ user interface.
