Overview
CONNECT Edition Update 3 version 10.03.3.72 of HAMMER introduces improvements and features to help you be more successful.
Table of Contents
Check Valve Dynamic Curves
Check valve dynamic curves, or check valve deceleration vs reverse velocity curves, are now available in HAMMER. The reverse velocity and deceleration at a given time step can be calculated and compared to the check valve dynamic curve to determine when the check valve will close instantaneously.
To use this feature, set the Check Valve Closure Type to “Dynamic Characteristics Curve.”
You can then select an item available in the Check Valve Dynamic Curve manager (Components > More > Check Valve Dynamic Curves). This manager will include the reverse velocity vs deceleration curve data for check valve used in the model.
More information on check valves can be found here: Modeling Reference – Check Valves.
Support for time-based Surge Relief Valves
A new time-based option has been added to surge relief valves.
The user can now select the Time-Based option for the SRV Type property field. When this option is selected, the time for the valve to open and close can be assigned to the surge valve.
More information on surge valves can be found here: Modeling Reference - Surge Valves.
Support for negative pressure at Surge Relief Valves
Improvements have been made to the SRV calculations at negative pressures. In the new version, regardless of whether the SRV is connected to one or two pipes, the pressure is able to drop down to the vapor pressure limit (default: -14 psi) but vapor volume is not tracked. In older versions, negative pressure was only possible with SRVs connected to a single pipe (at a tee / dead-end), while the pressure at SRVs connected to two pipes was limited to zero.
Select in Drawing option in Profiles manager
A Select in Drawing option has been included in the Profiles manager. By choosing the Select in Drawing button, the elements in the profile will be highlighted in the drawing. A user would be able to view properties of the elements or add them to a selection set.
"Add to Selection Set" and "Remove from Selection Set" options in Selection Set manager
You can add or remove elements from a selection use the new Add to Selection Set and Remove from Selection Set feature in the Selection Sets manager.
Highlight the elements you want to add or remove from a selection set and select the selection set that you want to update. Click the Update Selection Set button in the Selection Sets manager. There will be two options: Add to Selection Set and Remove from Selection Set. When you select one of these options, the highlighted elements will be added or removed from the selection.
IN option included in Query Builder
An IN option was been added to the Query builder so that you can better create queries to use in your model.
