RE: Issues with Laterals???
Craig Calvin
Hello Erik, Taps and laterals are not supported in the Dynamic Wave solver. Also note: With the SWMM solver, Laterals are treated as "dummy" conduits. The SewerCAD (GVF-Convex) solver does not do any hydraulic calculations in the lateral pipe…

Re: Is there any difference on location of fire hydrant in the model?
Jesse Dringoli
Hello Eelhard, If you're using WaterCAD V8 XM or V8i, I would recommend using the Fire Hydrant node element - you can reduce the number of pipes in your model by placing the hydrants inline with the pipes (like "Case #1" in your diagram) and still…
