Transient pressure graph in an interior node of the pipe

Hi,

How can I draw a transient pressure graph (pressure data against time) in an interior node of a pipe?

Thanks 

  • Hello Hiwa,

    HAMMER computes results at intermediate points along the pipe lengths (based on the timestep and wave speed), but only stores them at pipe endpoints, to save on the amount of output generated. 

    So, if you would like to see time-series results somewhere along the pipe, you will need to insert additional junction nodes. There are a few ways you can do this:

    1. Manually insert them by selecting the junction tool from the layout tab, then click on top of the pipe where you want to insert it (where you want to generate the time-series graph of transient results) and confirm that you want to split the pipe. The new junction will automatically assign an elevation based on interpolation between the two previous existing pipe endpoint elevations.
    2. Use an external source of intermediate node locations, import them using ModelBuilder and then use the batch pipe split tool to connect the new nodes to the pipeline. See more in this article from our Wiki: Splitting a pipe into multiple pipes with the same length
