Can I see the results of percentage of Needed Fire Flow Met?
When looking at the fire flow results is there way to look at the fire flow nodes -like how much percentage of needed fire flow is met? E.g. if the fire flow needed is 1000 gpm, upper fire flow limit is 3500 gpm and fire flow available is 900 gpm in one case and in other case it is 500 gpm, in both cases the node will be considered as failed to supply the required fire flow. But if percent of needed fire flow met is reported it will be easy for the modeler to understand how much % of needed fire flow is met by color coding it in the model plan view.
However, percentage of fire flow met is not reported in the water products as of now, but you can create a user data extension for that, which can be reported, and color coded / annotated as well.
For that we need to create the formula-based user data extension as below.
The user data extension created above can be seen in the junction properties, same can be done for hydrant as well.
However the user data extension cannot be added to the fire flow report. But you can create a shared flex table where you can add the required columns like total fire flow available, needed, upper limit or the UDX - user data extension created.
