How to know if pipes are connected or not by a node?

I have transfered a drawing from AutoCAD to WaterCAD V8i and I see the pipes and also de nodes. The problem is that although I see nodes in some pipes that either cross other pipes or that stop (connect) to other pipes, but I'm not sure if there is connectivity or not. How can i check if that node is really connecting both pipes that might be in a "T" or an "X" configuration.

Im in the early part of seting up the model so I can't run it quite yet.

Thanks

  • Hello,

    WaterCAD has some great tools for this type of model review. Go to View > Network Navigator. Click the gray arrow button at the top-right corner and click Network Review, then "Crossing pipes". This will find a list all pipes that are crossing over each other, without a junction at the intersection. You can then click the zoom to button or highlight button to see where they're located and then make any necessary corrections. I would recommend checking out some of the other queries in Network Navigator, which you may also find useful.
