Transient Model Boundary Conditions from EPS

Hello,

I have a working 36hr EPS hydraulic scenario and would like to setup a transient scenario for a pump trip.  My attempt in doing so has not been successful and I was seeing my zone draining and my pump station (that feeds the zone) dead heading, with flow reversing through the pump towards the boundary conditions.  

  • What are the steps to go from 36hr hydraulics EPS to 120sec transient EPS.  I tried using "initialize transient runs at time hours" for the desired initial conditions but my transient scenario has not been working.  I hope to get some guidance.  Do I need to remove my boundary conditions in my transient scenario and manually setup the initial conditions for the tanks and pumps based on the hydraulic scenario?  Also, I have surge relief valves that have pressure thresholds but the transient scenario is showing flow through them all the time.  
  • The model is giving me an error that the pump is not connected to a downstream pipe, even though, as shown in the linked screenshot, they are connected.  Please advise.  /resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5925/8446.Capture.JPG
