Hello , I recently surveyed my college pipe network and wanted to make it in water cad and analyse it. I got all the surface elevations , contours etcMY DOUBT is when we connect a pipe to a tank to another tank. When there is a vertical downward/upward bend in pipe how to represent it in water cad.
I tried a lot but bend is happening only horizontally. Please help me with it.
Hello ADR,
Pipe lengths are assumed to be horizontal. So, a vertical pipe can be modeled by choosing "true" for "has user defined length", then entering the vertical length. Enter the elevations of the adjacent nodes based on the elevation difference. Profiles will show this pipe's length as horizontal, but the hydraulic results should be accurate. Let me know if you have any question.
So you know, the answer to this question is available in Bentley's online KnowledgeBase, which can be found at the following link: appsnet.bentley.com/.../Default.aspx
Please search for the kb entry 60960. You can also find other numberous frequently asked question in our knowledgebase. Thank you.

Honestly I did not go check out the knowledge center and I am sure it is covered but what about at situation where you are modeling a high rise and you wanted to know each floor or top and bottom?
Hi nkg2,
Could you elaborate on what you mean by wanting to "know each floor or top and bottom"?
The elevations of the nodes at each end of your vertical pipe would be the elevations of the top and bottom (so you can see corresponding accurate pressure reported at each.)

Thank you for the reply. I did as you told in the pipe properties i chose true for user defines length but I didn't find any elevations option. Please could you guide me through or send a GIF image if you can doing that procedure. PLEASE.
Hello,
Would you please post an image of this segment so we can have a better idea of what you are working on? Thanks
