After making a change to the length between 2 node points ( on the Points tab of the input grids, noticed in the model it looked as some node points were now disconnected.
Also found the following was displayed in the Model Consistency Check report:
W726-34: Inconsistent coordinates were reset at following point(s)
What Causes it and how to avoid it?
First step is to understand what happens when a node point location change / update is made and how that affects the rest of the node points down stream of that modification.
Anode point location can be modified by using any of the following methods:
1. Modify> Run command
2. Update the Node point location directly on the Point Tab of the Input grid
3. Edit> Move / Stretch command
The user should understand the benefits and drawback of each procedure.
Note: AutoPIPE models are built by first establishing an Origin point and then inserting a delta distance to the next node point. This progress is continued until a new segment is started. Again starting with an Origin point and progressing to the next node point based on the delta distanced entered.
This command requires the user to first be on the node point that is to be modified before using this command. After the command has been started, the the following dialog opens:
Allowing the user to update the coordinates, yellow colored area, of that point as needed (ex, changed Length from 3.00 ft to 5.00 ft).
This modification will only affect the single node point. The next node point (ex. B02) does not move, but the delta distance from the exising node point (ex. B01) to the next node point (ex. B02) is automatically calculated and updated by the program.
