  • RE: Problem with model results and negative pressure

    Xolani - 1. Regarding R-2 to R-5: From you last sentence ("Reservoirs can take a couple of days to drain when full."). That tells me that, from a WaterCad perspective, you have "tanks" and not "reservoirs". Modeling them as "tanks" should do what you…

  • RE: i have designed a project in sewer gems velocity errors

    When you are working with small sewers with only a few customers upstream, you will almost always have many pipes that don't continually meet the minimum velocity constraint. When you get into these low flow situations, you need to remember that for these…
  • RE: WaterGem

    You would need to use nested IIF statements to be able to assign specific outside diameters based on specific inside diameters. An example is seen here . Another option would be to use ModelBuilder and Excel. Meaning, create the OD UDX as a text field…
