Hello,
I am facing a problem to set my PRV in the network. I have a network whose topography is a bit sharp and the difference in levels is high. I am fixing PRVs as the pressure exceeded 6 bars. but at some location it seems the PRV just does not produce the required pressure.
I have attached my model as wMODL.zipell.
regards
Hello Ahmed,
Which scenario are you using?
The only scenario that isn't set to perform a fire flow analysis is the "Peak hourly demand", but when I compute this scenario, there aren't any user notifications and the PRV results are shown below. None of the PRV pressures exceed 6 bars for that steady state scenario.
It appears you are using version 08.11.06.113?
Are you using WaterGEMS or WaterCAD?
What patch set version do you have applied? You can find the date of the applied patch set by going to Help > About WaterGEMS/WaterCAD. The date will appear on the lower-left corner of the about dialog.

"I am computing the fire scenario."
The model you provided contains 4 fire flow scenarios. I'm not sure which you are referring to.
"when i try to fix PRV like at J-82 first of all the pipe is seemed to be closed."
There are pipes allowing the flow to bypass the PRVs.
For Example:
I set the scenario "average daily demand" to compute hydraulics only and computed.
PRV-1 is set to maintain a downstream hydraulic grade of 104.77m, but is closed after computing.
The "Hydraulic Grade (To)" (hydraulic grade at the exit of the valve) is 113.77m and the "Hydraulic Grade (From)" (hydraulic grade at the entrance of the valve) is 120.02m.
The valve's "Status (Calculated)" is set to Closed because it is trying to lower the downstream hydraulic grade to 104.77m. However, upstream of the PRV pipe P-165 allows the flow to bypass the valve which is why the PRV can't lower the downstream pressure down to 104.77m.
