Maximum number of pipes

Hi all

When I came to regsiter a copy of "WaterCAD", I faced the maximum number of pipes I can use in my project. The number of pipes extremely affect the price of the software.

I am actually wondering if this number means that I cannot draw more than "X" number of pipes in a specific project, or I can draw as pipes as I want, but cannot RUN analysis for more than "X" number of pipes? Or it's just about diameters?

The right question might be: What is really the "maximum number of pipes"?

Thanks in advance  :)

  • Generally our products also prevent saving of changes if you exceed the pipe limit. In other words you can't create a 10,000 pipe model using a 10 pipe WaterCAD license and then just export to EPANET to compute it.

    If you are not sure how many pipes you need, you can always start small and upgrade later. A 10 pipe license is quite restrictive though, so I would suggest something larger to start with.
