SewerCAD design and Analisys

I have existing sewer network model and under the calculation option we are doing analysis, now the case is to add more pipes and do the design for the new pipes connected to the existing network. how we can do the auto design for the new pipes and keep the existing under analysis; sure after the design completed the final step to do the analysis for the whole network.

Regards,

MO. 

  • Hello,

    If you want to use the automated design on some conduits, but not on others, there is an option in the conduit properties that you can use. If you set the property "Design Conduit?" to False, this element should not be included in the automated design.

    Please let us know if you have any questions on this issue.

  • Thank you Scott,

    Just for clarification; do you mean that I have to set "Design"in the calculation type under calculation option, and in the conduit properties the "Design Conduit" is false for the existing pipes; and True for the new pipes? Accordingly, the model run will size the new pipes and analysis the existing ones? please confirm if what I understand is correct or not?

  • Hello MO,

    Yes, that is the general workflow. Only the pipe with the property "Design Conduit?" set to True will be designed. Note that this is the default setting for this property, you you will need to manually change this setting for the existing pipes.
