Hi,How to draw a pipe layout . The case is "a Pump pumps in water from a underground tank to a tank on a building". Now as in water cad we insert a tank on the building and connect it to a pump and inturn connects to the U/G tank. BUT we have to provide the min, max levels in the tank properties. But the actual thing is we are just filling that tank which has a demand of 5000 litres. So how can we simmulate this on water cad? I hope you understand the scenario.
Hi ADR,
It's always good to share what you have tried and where you stuck. That way we know exactly where to point you at. So, please share the model you tried for above situation and let us know what did not work.
Regarding tank, any container has some height, right? So, height 0 is it's minimum level (or elevation) and if it is 3 ft tall then it's Max level (or elevation) is 3 ft. So, I assume you tank is a container with some height so please enter it's minimum elevation as minimum elevation and max elevation as maximum elevation. You can enter initial elevation somewhere in between the max and min.
Please don't get me wrong, we are here to help however it might be efficient if you go thru some quick start lesson from help or even consider taking a training. Depending on your company subscription with Bentley, you might get the training materials/videos for free. So, I encourage you to explore these sides as well.

Hope this helps
Thank you Akshaya for the advice. But my only doubt is can we add demand to a particular tank.I tried doing this. I'm attaching my file in which i tried doing.
When you add a demand to a tank, what you are specifying is the amount of the water that is being used by customers at a tank.
When you talk about a demand, you need to talk in units of flow per unit time.
The tank in a model is a known hydraulic grade and the model tells the user what flow is going in or out of the tank.
I encourage you to sign up for some of our on-line training and read up about modeling basics in our documentation and our "Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management" book.
