Hello,
I am using WaterCAD version 08.11.04.58
Is there a EPS model for Fire Flow?
Regards
Alex
Alex,
You cannot run a fire flow analysis in EPS. You can use the EPS Snapshot in the calculation options. You would set "Is EPS Snapshot?" to True. This is still a steady state run, but it considers the starting date and time of the analysis and applies the appropriate pattern multipliers for that time. Example 5 has a fire flow scenario.

What exactly are you trying to do? What do you mean by "EPS model for fire flow"?
WaterGEMS "Fire flow analysis" calculates the water that can be delivered to a node for fire fighting.
If you want to look at how flows and levels change over the course of a long duration fire, you can always set up an EPS scenario and run it.
For an example of an EPS model set up to simulate a fire, take a look at Quick Start Lesson #2, "Extended Period Simulation", under Help > WaterCAD Help > Contents > Quick Start Lessons.
