SewerCAD Automated Design

As in the screenshot I did the Automated design in SewerCAD and the program sized the first pipe 300mm which is correct but the increment in the load does not require to increase the size in the second pipe to 400mm; that has been checked in the Excel and I also forced that pipe in the sewercad to be sized as 300mm and does work.

I am wonder because the design constraints applied should give more flexibility to to go with smaller size because I used (Table not Simple) for Slope constraints as in the screen shot; where I expected the program to increase the slope and maintain the pipe size (300mm) as I tried manually.

    

  • Hi Jesse,

    Thank you so much, As I expected.
    and I also understand that the priority is to minimize cover not to minimize the diameter in auto design? is that could be an option that we can choose in future?

  • Mo,

    I think the answer to that goes back to the point about automated design being a good starting point. If you're not satisfied with the result, you can always use your judgment (based on your specific opinion or requirements) to make further adjustments.
