• RE: PRV Performance for a case study

    Sushma Choure
    Sushma Choure
    Hello Videet, PRVs that you have in model have pressure settings more than what you have in your DMA, hence software fails to understand the logic of this setting and fails as you can see in the results. E.g. In your model, for PRV1, the net available…

  • RE: fire upper limit

    Tom Walski
    Tom Walski
    If you are talking about the "Fire Flow (Upper Limit)" field in the fire flow analysis, that is a value that tellsl WaterGEMS, to stop iterating on the solution because the fire flow is more than adequate. Usually you set this slightly higher than the…

  • RE: Extended period simulation In watergems

    Yashodhan Joshi
    Yashodhan Joshi
    Hi Jay, Extended Period Simulation (EPS) type analysis is used when you want to understand the hydraulics of a system over a specified period of time. EPS is basically a series of Steady State runs performed for multiple time steps. When you analyze…

    Start with the following directions for performing a clean uninstall and reinstall of the software . There is not a need to delete the licensing information, so that part of the wiki steps doesn't need to be performed. If the DXF file can be exported…

    Hello Jatin, What program are you using? In StormCAD (or SewerGEMS/CivilStorm using the StormCAD solver) there are results fields in the manhole properties for "Elevation (Invert Out)" and "Elevation (Invert In)". Moreover, if you have more than one…

    Hello, The screenshot implies that this is from HAMMER. If that is not correct, let me know. This is probable a case where there is not much headloss in the pipes connecting the tank and the reservoirs. The following link has some information on this…

    Hello all, In a recent discussion a few points came up regarding ensuring accuracy and limiting variables in SCADA and field data to be used in calibration & validation of a model. For our past clients, we have ensured that days chosen for calibration…

    Tom Walski
    Tom Walski
    Jeremy, Your question is a very good one. If you calibrate an EPS model for a given day, then it is most valid for that day. As water use patterns deviate from the day, the model becomes less valid. The bad news is that no two days are identical…

    Hello Vicki, The easiest way to achieve that would be to delete all the sanitary loads for all manholes from the sanitary load control center instead of deleting one by one manhole load. Select all the rows in the sanitary load control center as…

  • RE: Design a new piping layout for piped water supply

    Scott Kampa
    Scott Kampa
    Hello Sujoy, Regarding the flow into the tanks, the reason there is no flow to tank T-2 is that the setting for the invert level for the inlet pipe is incorrect. The inlet pipe invert is a "level", not an "elevation". This means that the inlet pipe…
