When running WaterCAD UDF Flushing simulations, when I isolate out a pipe section in the network, why do other pipes in the network still have flow even though there is theoretically no source?
In old WaterGEMS V8i It could associate Customers Meters in the juctions but first checking the closest pipe. I mean, the software get the closest pipe then considering the distance of the start and stop node it get associated with the closest node. In…
Hi,
I'm trying to undertake high level FF modelling for high level optioneering (we can undertake detailed FF modelling if associated options are deemed potentially viable to proceed after assessment).
The problem is the junctions in the existing…
Iam using landxml file as dataset and X-Y unit are in meter and z unit is in meter as in land xml dataset but its showing error as shown below in image attached.
I am attempting to model a raw water intake using a reservoir to model the river which provides flow to a circular well with vertical turbine pumps that deliver flow to a treatment plant.
I have set downstream FCV's to accept 60 MGD from the pumps,…
I have checked but cant seem to find a problem, please suggest what is the issue many of my pipes are showing 0 flow.
And is the tank specs correct in my network please checkonce, i have a tank with GL 197, at a height 0f 25m from ground and has flow…
I am working on a model in which many of the junctions are not on the existing pipeline. So, I want to attach the existing junction(which is not attached to the pipeline) to the existing pipeline by not creating a new junction on the pipeline and splitting…
Hi, I'm following an actual Watercad drawing and I don't know what this symbol is...
Also, when I RUN my design it says a problem on that pipe has ocurred, so I supposed It's because I haven't insert that thing
PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I have a situation where I have to design a gravity network such that I have to utilize the existing pipe in a given network. How to design a parallel pipe in a gravity distribution network. Suppose, the existing pipe has a dia of 100 mm and would…
I am using a PRV to control the pressure downstream. My model has 2 reservoirs. The PRV is placed on the pipe which isolates the loop upstream of it. This gives me a looped network upstream of the PRV connected to a reservoir (R-1). I have another reservoir…
Hi all,
I have a general question on the use of PRV's at individual services for a "closed" distribution system, i.e. pumps directly draw from a treated reservoir and feed to end-users with no elevated/pressure tank and storage elsewhere.
I have come…
We need to convert an H2ONET model into WaterCAD to make some updates. Then convert it back into H2ONET for the client to be able to use in their software. The trouble with using EPANet as the in between is that the pump controls and tank levels etc information…

Tank Inlet pipe flow is zero and many locations pressure…
Hello,
How could I locate an isolation valve at a specific position on a pipe with a schematic drawing?
Can an isolation valve replaced by another type of valves in watergems to do the same task?
Dear Community
I just had 16 hydrant tests throughout a City of about 30,000 to calibrate the water model.
When I compared the fire flows with the model, actual fire flows were lower by 700 gpm on average , 600 gpm on median. At one location, it was…
HI, I'm working on my college project (The project is a plumbing system to drain a 1-m3 tank in the shortest time ). I use the discharge to atmosphere element at the end of the project but I'm really confused with this element's input data like [Flow…
I have a model completed for an entire subdivision and now I want to be able to run small sections to determine possible phasing. How do I do this without deleting everything I don't need at first and adding it back in as required? Is there a way to use…
We are using WaterCAD V8i SELECTSeries6 and I have a model that is in a newer format - can this be saved down our version? From my understanding, our client does not have the software available to do this is there a way to do this on our end? Thanks!
I am currently updating a water model for a local municipality and ran into a few questions concerning the data collection for the model. First of all, are there a minimum number of data collection points per foot of pipe required or preferred when creating…
I don't have the plugin for the Autodesk 2012 Civil 3D with regards to Water/SewerCAD. I use the standalone. My last project worked but was very tedious when trying to export from Civil 3D Pipe Network to water/sewerCAD and using model builder to bring…
Dear;
I have potable water system which consists of pump station and one elevated tank. the pump station working 16 hours only direct pumping to the network and filling the elevated tank during this time. Then the elevated tank will feed the network…
