Dear Bentley Team,
we are facing some problem related to surge vessel, we have attached Hammer native file for for your review.
Problem is Gas volume, Gas pressure & Water inflow graphs for the surge vessel is not getting stable whatever run duration (sec) if we provide also, volume is keep on increasing, but in other simulations we are getting stable graph (like a straight line) if we increase run duration (sec), see refer below screenshot taken for other simulation. But in this simulation we are not getting any straight line on graph, request you to review & provide any recommendation/suggestion.
Thank you
Hello Jayakanthan,
I checked your model and I can see the results getting stabilized around 312 seconds with a longer run duration (of 600 seconds) as compared to what you set at 120 seconds. See the snapshot of inflow at the surge vessel when the run duration with 600 seconds;
Can you try with a lower volume for the surge vessel?

Thank you for your quick reply.
We are getting stable graph but problem is at the same time we are getting problem with surge vessel volume, "The bladder-type hydropneumatic tank fills its containing tank." we reviewed with 1 m3 to 5 m3 surge vessel volume still we are facing same error. whenever we provide some volume on surge vessel then gas volume is showing little bit above that taken surge vessel volume. for example, i considered 1 m3 as surge vessel volume then gas volume is showing as 1.25 m3. Refer below screenshots for details.
Any update on this issue ?
thank you
Any update on this issue ? it would be helpful for us if you provide prompt response.
Is the model changed from what you shared before? In the response you mentioned that you are getting a stable graph now but you are now getting a user notification "The bladder-type hydropneumatic tank fills its containing tank.". This message usually means that the tank is getting empty during the transient simulation. See this article below which explains how this happens and what you can do to fix this;
Hydropneumatic tank user notifications: "gas volume exceeds volume of tank" or "fills its containing tank"
Let me know if this helps.
