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…
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 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 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…
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 am having problems with copying data from the graph data tab. My problem is that when I copy all the data the header row is not copied. So when I paste in excel I have no idea what the data in each column represents. This woudn't be a problem if WaterCad…
1) how can i design open drains in sewer gems sanitary?
2) I have search the help it shows that rectangular rounded section is avalible but when I try to change the shape , the option for " rectangular rounded section" is not avalible.
Any suggestions on how to model a reclaimed water system that delivers water to multiple (bulk) storage ponds? Each pond has a level control and a pressure staining valve. Is there a way to simplify this model, I can't justify trying to model all the…
I'm fairly new to the software and have been going through the on demand courses. I have a decent understanding of how Darwin Calibrator works but I'm struggling with one thing.
I have numerous inactive pipes in my model. Typically these are either…
Regards to all.
The existing water supply network belongs to III elevation zones of much larger water supply system and ends with the tank of III elevation zone. It is necessary to design new water supply network of IV elevation zone.
In the…
My model is fine and everything works fine however the design criteria for demand is 2.1 multiply by the average demand + Fire Flow (as indicated in the snapshot)
I have setup the Scenarios and alternative for this criteria based on the BASED DEMAND…
Hi - is anybody can do demonstration (provide example) how to setup filling tank from top? and how the benefits of control filling and could eliminate the PSV Valve?

Hi All!
I have a model with multiple scenarios, each with different topologies and demands. For each scenario I need several different reports (junctions, pipe, pump, etc). Total, this will give me a few hundred different reports.
Is there a way…
Hi Ben,
I really appreciate your deeply answer "as you usually do".
I am bringing other case and your input is recommended and hope get more feedback. In the attached model I had problem " Unbalanced system" and I got feed back to increase the trials…
Good Morning,
I am using WaterCAD v8i and i need to present work i did earlier. Can anyone tell me how to save or represent the EPS animation or other animated waterCAD things like Graphs, profiles etc. Thanks in advance and hope someone will help…
Dear Bentley
I am trying to Model a VSP pump and I am using WaterGems V8i (Select Series 3)
I want to model a a situation where I got a pump which is greater than the required capacity . So I am planning on using a variable speed system to reduce…
