When I import inp file which include pipes and valves, the diamter of pipes which connect with valve become 2514.6mm.
How to fix this problem?

Hello Pan,
What was the diameter of those pipes before importing into WaterGEMS?
Please check the units in EPANET before importing model into WaterGEMS, as mentioned in the below wiki.
When I import my EPANET file (.INP) into WaterGEMs/WaterCAD, the units are not coming in with the optimal units. How do I fix this?

Valves in EPANET are links, whereas in WaterGEMS they are nodes. So, as part of the import process, some extra pipes are created to handle this transformation, and they are given a very large diameter and short length in order to be hydraulically insignificant.
