Section:
"Some Special Features"
|
- Automatic
and accurate representation of demands
by population density without increasing
drawing size, automatically "Compare"
the actual result differences between
scenarios, "Mix & Match"
any Units, etc.
- Purchase
only the Task Level You Actually Need
(Static, Dynamic or Quality, etc.)
- Powerful,
Robust & Fast for Pro Modelers - Intuitive
& Easy for occasional users.
- Highly
manageable data kept entirely within the
drawing, not in external files
- Exchange
any Data, Templates or Settings between
hydraulic
models
- Mix
& Match Units, Convert or Work in
ANY units you wish
- Uses
the industry-proven EPANET™
Math Engine for accurate analysis
- "Real
Time Results"
Program
runs efficiently (fast) enough to make
results viewable in real time for most
hydraulic models.
(Another "special touch" that
is feasible only because the basic program
structure is built using the very highest
of the Authorized AutoCAD™
Developer standards).

Scenarios "ALL the Way" |
|
Example
of a Complex "Varying Demands Controlling
Pump & Valve" Scenario Containing
Other Scenarios
(with a "What IF" Pipe Size + Specification
change thrown in for the last Time Steps)
(Some use term "alternatives"
but HydrauliCADs' Scenario structure is far
more flexible & encompassing than the
alternative structure, allowing the modeler
to "Play What IF" to degrees not
possible with any other software that we have
examined to date)
TOP
VIEWABLE AREA of the SCENARIO PALETTE
(view shows lines 1 - 12)
(line
1) - This Scenario also is running an independent
Scenario to Close a valve based on Tank Level
+ (line 2) - it is also running an independent
Scenario to Turn a Pump On or Off based based
on Tank Level
+ (lines 3&4) - At start of Time Step
3, it sets Demands for selected Outlet Node(s)
to an Absolute value of 250 gpm
+ (lines 5&6) - At start of Time Step
5, it resets the Outlet Node Demand(s) to
it's original value
+ (lines 7&8) - At start of Time Step
10, it multiplies the current values of the
selected Outlet Nodes X 1.55
+ (lines 9&10) - Reset those values back
to their original settings.
BOTTOM VIEWABLE AREA
of the SCENARIO PALETTE
(after scrolling down to view, top line is
Line # 11)
+
(lines 11&12) - At start of Time Step12,
it multiplies Demands for selected Outlet
Node(s) X 1.1
+ (lines 13&14) - At start of Time Step
15, it sets the selected Outlet Node Demand(s)
to the absolute value of 215 gpm
Similar for (lines 15-18),
Then,
+ (lines 19-21) - At start of Time Step 20,
it performs 2 independent operations a &
b:
a - (line 20) - Resets Demand Value for the
selected Outlet(s) to the Original Value X
1.3
b - (line 21) - Resets
selected PIPE Size and Specification to "PVC"
ASTM-2241 SDR42 and Size to 10"

Program
Structure "ALL the Way"
(Built
to the Very Highest of the AutoCAD* Program Development
Standards)
- General
:
HydrauliCAD
utilizes the power & solidity of AutoCAD's
ARX & C++.Net programming to construct the
most reliable & flexible program possible.
- All
Hydraulic Data is Stored Within the Drawing File:
No
external files
are created, or needed to run the models.
All HydrauliCAD data is retained within the AutoCAD
drawing itself.
HydrauliCAD Objects & Data can be viewed &
accessed without needing HydrauliCAD.
