Hello,
I am not seeing any simulated flow results in Darwin Calibrator even though I have demand adjustments in my snapshots. What am I missing here?
Regards,
Youssef
After a run, go to the Simulate Results tab and pick Flow.
Hi Tom - That is surprisingly a blank for me.
If I am understanding correctly, it seems like "simulated flow" results are only available for pipes? So the "demand adjustment" is on a node and that does not yield any "simulated flow" results? In that case, Darwin Calibrator does not have an output in the snapshot results to show the flow value during the simulation of fire flow test?
Hello Youssef,
Are you getting any user notifications when you compute this? Does the representative scenario compute with any issues?
If not, it might be useful to see a copy of the files to have a better understanding what is going on.

Yes. It enables you to compare the simulated flow to the measured flow (based on the "observed target" flows in pipes in the field data snapshot).

It does if you have observed flow targets on pipes. Meaning, measured flows that you are trying to get the model to match with to calibrate it. The Demand Adjustments done on nodes are something different - you can assume that those will always be applied at the specified time associated with the field data snapshot.
I have added some notes to the Darwin Calibrator wiki article to clarify this.

Scott and Jesse - I am so sorry for the delayed response, I ended up going out to the field for a few days. Your explanation makes sense and now I understand the difference between observed flow targets and demand adjustments. Thank you so much for clarifying.
