Bentley WaterCad V8i SS5
I have used ModelBuilder to import demands and locations for Customer Meter Elements. I then used Loadbuilder to assign the Meter Elements to nearest pipes.
The associated element has to be a hydrant or a junction. My question is how does WaterCad/Gems determine the junction to assign to the Meter Element when using the nearest pipe method? Is it based on closest junction to that location regardless of flow direction? It appears to be inconsistent with which model elements it chooses. Sometimes it chooses the closest Junction and sometimes it chooses one further away.
Should I be concerned with the accuracy of the loading locations?
