Hello Everyone,
Can someone please guide me on how I can easily select the longest distance between two nodes/junctions?If there is a query formula that I have to come up with, please share.I can only see that option for tracing the shortest distance between two nodes at the navigator tool.
Mulongo Wafula,
You are correct that Network Navigator is a very useful tool with a number of built in queries that let a modeler see what is in a system and how everything is connected. It can calculate the shortest distance between a start node and a stop node as described in this Wiki article.. To my knowledge, we have never had a request to find the longest distance between two nodes or junctions
Please tell us what you wish to gain by finding the longest distance between two nodes or junctions and we will offer suggestions that we believe will help you or we can file an enhancement request with Development.
Thank-you,Larry
Can you explain why you need to know the longest distance between two nodes?
I have two pipelines connected from one tank to the other and my main aim is to easily select/trace both of them downstream so that I can create for them two different selection sets. The pipelines run parallel to each other and are close together, overlapping at many instances its hard to trace them manually

So you really don't need Longest path. What you want to do is
View > Navigator > Network Trace > Find shortest path, then pick the beginning and end of the pipeline.
