Forum Post: RE: how to add mainline and LATERALLINE in hydrolic model
Customer meters cannot be directly connected as a pipe to the network. They must be place separately and then should be connected to the nearby junctions no to the pipes. It seems like that the pipes are missing the end nodes, how did you create this model?

With newer generation installation packages based on IEpress/Wix, a silent installation of a newer version should automatically uninstall the older version first. There should be no prompt appearing on the user side. For Installshield generation versions and below, you may need to uninstall the existing older version first (see further below on silent uninstallation). Patch sets DO NOT have a silent install switch, but can be repackaged Patch sets do not have silent install switches because they are really just self extracting zip files. If you want to do a silent install you can definitely extract the necessary information from them and repackage it. You can use a program like 7 zip or WinRAR to extract the contents of the patch. You'll notice here are a few files once you extract everything. Delete all the files except the ZIP file. Now you can take this zip file then open it to extract the contents of the patch set for each program. Note on .NET Framework Microsoft .NET Framework is a prerequisite to all Haestad products. Before silently deploying the product, if the required version of .NET (see chart above) is not already installed, it it best to silently deploy that first. Troubleshooting / Alternatives If you're having trouble performing a silent installation, try extracting all the contents and silently deploying them separately. See "Older IEpress/Wix Installers" section below for more information. Silent Uninstallation To perform a silent un installation, run msiexec with the following syntax: msiexec /x { guid } /qn On a 64-bit operating system, the guid for our products (which use a 32-bit installer), can be found in the registry under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ On a 32-bit operating system, the guid can be found under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ For instance for WaterGEMS 08.11.04.50, the guid is {BE30126E-C93C-4C98-97EA-3EEBB4F2561F}, so you would run it like this: msiexec /x {BE30126E-C93C-4C98-97EA-3EEBB4F2561F} /qn Here are the guids for the current versions of some of our other products: HAMMER 08.11.04.50: {138400E8-3D74-470F-83FE-F12BCD7F824D} SewerGEMS 08.11.03.77: {85DA45AD-89CB-49C9-9602-8A49C1397D54} SewerCAD 08.11.03.77: {78A1B73D-5951-440D-9B91-8CFE4E0F5289} CivilStorm 08.11.03.77: {640ACA2B-8959-47A9-A293-96D325E3EE03} StormCAD 08.11.03.77: {59531A5F-531C-4AAE-8810-FD64100607F8} Silent installation for Versions using IEpress and Wix Technology (~2010-present) Recent versions of Haestad products (as of ~2010-2013) utilize IEpress to extract the installation files and Wix to package the .msi. Versions using this technology can be silently installed by running the install file with the either the /gm2 /ai or the /q:a switch, depending on the version. See the table above for the syntax needed. Note: . Starting with WaterGEMS/WaterCAD/HAMMER V8i SELECTseries 5 and SewerGEMS/SewerCAD/StormCAD/CivilStorm V8i SELECTseries 4, the switch is /gm2 /ai . A server script would need to execute this on the client computer, with the install file in a shared/network location. Two exceptions are version 08.11.02.31 of WaterCAD, WaterGEMS and HAMMER, and version 08.11.01.51 of PondPack (see "older IEpress/Wix" section below for these). When run, the program will attempt to install without any user interaction. Older versions of IEpress/Wix Technology (2009 PondPack and WaterCAD/WaterGEMS/HAMMER) When the IEpress and Wix technology was first used in our installers, we did not support passing of the silent mode switch (/q:a). This applies to version 08.11.02.31 of WaterCAD, WaterGEMS and HAMMER, and version 08.11.01.51 of PondPack. For these versions, you must first extract the prerequisites and setup msi file and deploy them silently. A server script would need to execute this on the client computer, with the install file in a shared/network location. 1) Extract the contents of the installation executable to a folder, using a tool such as 7zip or Winrar. 2) Silently deploy all the prerequisites with standard silent mode arguments. To check the order of installation, look in the Settings.ini file. For example to install the Microsoft .NET Framework prerequisite silently: dotnetfx35setup.exe /q /norestart To install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x86: vc9redist_x86.EXE /q:a /c:"msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn" 3) Silently deploy the main application, contained within the Setup.msi file. Example: MsiExec.exe /I Setup.msi /L* %TEMP%\SetupLog.txt /qn Note: The prerequisite installer also does a test on the prerequisite to see if it is already installed, through a registry check. You can see the registry path in the Settings.ini file. For instance for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable x86 checks if the following registry path is present when the prerequisite is installed so there is no point in installing it: 32-bit OS: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{86CE85E6-DBAC-3FFD-B977-E4B79F83C909} 64-bit OS: SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{86CE85E6-DBAC-3FFD-B977-E4B79F83C909} Silent installation for versions using InstallSheild (~2005-~2009) Versions of the Haestad products that use InstallShield technology can be silently installed by running the install file with the /s /v/qn switch. A server script would need to execute this on the client computer, with the install file in a shared/network location. When run, the program will attempt to install without any user interaction. Silent Installation for Versions Using Wise (~2004 and earlier) Old versions of Haestad products that utilized Wise installer technology can be silently installed simply by running the install file with the switch /s . A server script would need to execute this on the client computer, with the install file in a shared/network location. When run, the program will attempt to install without any user interaction. Note: it is highly recommended to upgrade to a newer version, especially for Operating System compatibility reasons. Licensing It is sometimes necessary to also silently configure licensing after silently installing a product. To do this, your server script can run command line arguments on the Licensetool.exe and Haestad.LicenseAdministrator.Console.exe , both found in the product's installation folder. To set the server name , use this syntax: LicenseTool.exe /nowin configure -setting:SelectServer -value:SERVER_NAME To set the activation key , use this syntax: LicenseTool.exe /nowin configure -setting:ActivationKey -value:ACT_KEY To set a default license feature configuration, (typically done manually in the Municipal License Administrator (MLA), to choose your pipe, inlet or pond limit) use this syntax: Haestad.LicenseAdministrator.Console.exe /configure Where is the ID corresponding to the Bentley application and is the default feature string you want to set. A typical feature string looks something like this: acad=yes|agis=yes|mstn=yes|pipe=250. Of course, you will need to be licensed for the feature string you set, else the product will not activate (and may run in Disconnected Mode for a limited period of time). Option 2 If the above does not work or you'd like an additional option to use the steps below will explain how to create a copy of the registry entry for you license file. After doing that you can write a script file the enters the information automatically into the registry from the license text file that you'll be creating. Note that you'll have to perform these steps on a computer that already has one of the Bentley Water Products already installed. 1) Browse to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BENTLEY\LICENSING\1.1" on a 32 bit computer OR "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BENTLEY\LICENSING\1.1" on a 64 bit computer. 2) With the 1.1 folder highlighted right click and choose > Export. 3) After you save the file you can write a script that reads the information from this file and populates the Select Server and Activation key in the registry at the locations listed above. Here is the list of Product IDs: WaterCAD: 1248 WaterGEMS: 1249 HAMMER: 1225 SewerGEMS: 1244 CivilStorm: 1207 StormCAD: 1246 SewerCAD: 1243 If running this command from the client's computer, use the Run command with the full path to the executable file. The Haestad.LicenseAdministrator.Console.exe file will be located in the product's installation folder. The path depends on where you originally directed the program to install to and whether the operating system is 32 ot 64-bit. For example, the Run window for StormCAD running on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 would be like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\StormCAD8\Haestad.LicenseAdministrator.Console.exe /configure 1246 mstn=yes|inlt=25 See Also How can I disable the ArcGIS, Microstation, and AutoCAD integration Option?

Wiki Page: How to graph extended transient results such as gas volume for hydropneumatic tanks, pump or turbine speed, air valve extended data, etc.
Applies To Product(s): Bentley HAMMER Version(s): 08.11.xx.xx Environment: N/A Area: Output and Reporting Subarea: Original Author: Scott Kampa, Bentley Technical Support Group How To: How can I generate a graph of the various extended results not available in the Time History tab of the Transient Results Viewer? For example gas volume/pressure in a hydropneumatic tank or rotational speed of a pump? Steps to Accomplish The steps to view this information depend on your HAMMER version and what type of element/results you want to graph. Version: V8i SELECTseries 5 (08.11.05.61) or higher Certain element types, such as hydropneumatic tanks, pumps, and turbines, now have select data available directly from the Transient Results Viewer. Hydropneumatic tanks include data on gas volume, gas pressure, and water inflow. Pumps include information on pump speed. Turbines include in formation on wicket gate position and speed. The steps below describe how to access this information. 1) Compute the model and open the Transient Results Viewer 2) Click the Extended Node Data tab 3) Select the element and graph type, then click Plot to view the graph If the element or result type is not currently available, see the steps below, which are also still valid. Note that air valve extended data is currently not available in the Transient Results Viewer. Version: 08.11.04.58 and earlier The steps below assume you are using Microsoft Office 2007 edition or later. The process may be different for older versions of Office. 1) Enter a number for the Report Period field in the properties of the element of interest (for example "10" means the results will be reported at every 10 time steps) Note: this is not currently available for all element types. 2) In your transient Calculation Options, make sure "True" is selected for "Generate Detailed Reports" and "Generate Extended Output Log". 3) Compute the model, open the Transient Analysis Detailed Report under Reports > Transient Analysis Reports and scroll to the bottom until you see the table of extended results for the node of interest. 4) Copy/paste the text from this table into a separate .txt file in Notepad. 5) Open Microsoft Excel and start a new spreadsheet (the process is likely different with older versions of Excel) 6) Click the "Data" tab, choose "From Text" and select your file. 7) Choose "Fixed width", then "next" 8) Set up the field widths so that the columns of data are separated appropriately 9) Set up a line graph with the appropriate columns (Time, plus whatever attribute you'd like to graph.

Forum Post: RE: how to add mainline and LATERALLINE in hydrolic model
Hello, If you are importing the meters has a Customer Meter element, you should leave the laterals out. The following link has information on importing Customer Meters and associating them with a junction in the model: When you import the pipes into the model with ModelBuilder, it is important to create a node if none is present in the model and to establish a connectivity tolerance. This is in Step 2 of ModelBuilder, as shown in the screenshot below: A node, such as a junction, must be present at the end of each pipe in order for the model to be valid. If you do not want to reimport the data, you can add junctions to the existing pipes. In order to locate these, you can use Network Navigator (View > Network Navigator). Select the ">" button and choose Network Review, and then Pipes Missing Nodes. This will identify areas that you need to address. More information on Network Navigator can be found at this link .

Forum Post: RE: How to determine the liquid level/volume in a hydropneumatic tank before and after a transient event? (Bentley Hammer V8I)
Hi Tim, I'll start with a bit of background... Typically hydropneumatic tanks (HT) that are used for surge protection will "float" on the system - they fill up to a point where the pressure inside the tank matches the normal/line pressure in the system and there is neither inflow nor outflow. If you're looking to analyze the transient effects of a sudden pump shutdown, you would start the initial conditions as a Steady state with the pumps on, and the "treat as junction?" property of the HT set to "true". This will assume that the tank floats on the system and thus will use the system HGL at the tank location as the initial HGL. You would then enter the corresponding "Volume of Gas (Initial)" which also establishes the initial water volume and the relationship used in the gas law (so it can compute changes to pressure resulting from changes in pressure). Regarding liquid volume oscillations - there are two different ways of viewing this. If you have an older version (SELECTseries 4 and below), you can enter a number for the HT "report period", then view the results at the bottom of the Transient Analysis Detailed Report. For newer versions, you can view it as a graph in the Extended Node Data tab of the Transient Results Viewer. Read more about that here: How to graph extended transient results such as gas volume for hydropneumatic tanks, pump or turbine speed, air valve extended data, etc. That said, it sounds like you want to see how the liquid volume changes when the pump is starting up, then shutting down. You mentioned that you "initialize the volume" at zero - which field are you referring to? If you're seeing "N/A" for the "Liquid Volume (Calculated)", it might mean that you have "treat as junction?" set to "True", in which case an EPS initial conditions calculation would not track changes in presure volume. If you set that to False, the initial liquid volume must be non-zero. If the tank does empty completely when the pump is off, you may want to try the below steps to set up a transient simulation that first shuts down the pump, then starts it back up. 1) Start the initial conditions with the pump on 2) Set "treat as junction?" to true for the HT 3) Compute a steady state initial conditions and note the pressure at the tank (HGL minus "elevation") 4) Enter the Initial gas volume for the HT. You could employ the Gas Law to help with this, given the initial pressure and full tank volume. Note that if your HT has a bladder, the process is made easier by selecting "true" for "has bladder?", then entering the preset pressure. See link further below for a technote that goes into more detail on this. 5) In the Pump properties, select Variable Speed/Torque for the Transient pump type. 6) For the Operating rule, you will set the pump to shut down, wait a while for things to settle down, then start back up (initial multiplier of 1.0, drops to zero, then goes back up to 1.0). This way, you can simulate both the startup and shutdown in the same simulation. There are a few things to consider when setting up the operating rule. If you use Speed as the Control Variable in the pump properties, your operating rule pattern is actually controlling the speed, whereas if you choose Torque, it's controlling the applied electrical torque. To simulate an emergency pump shut down where the electrical torque drops to zero (and the speed changes based on the pump inertia), use Torque as the control variable. You can read more about speed vs. torque here and here . 7) Compute the transient simulation and open the Transient Results Viewer 8) Click the Extended Node Data tab and you'll see the option to graph gas volume, gas pressure and water inflow. With the full tank volume known, you can therefore find the liquid volume change based on the gas volume graph. Here is a comprehensive reference on hydropneumatic tanks, which you might find to be a useful supplement. You can also use the search bar at the top of our Wiki to find lots more information.

Forum Post: RE: how to add mainline and LATERALLINE in hydrolic model
Customer meter elements are intended for placing demands on a nearby node. They are not intended for modeling head loss in laterals. If your goal is to model lateral head losses then you need to make the laterals into pipes with a junction at the end and then assign the customer meter to that junction. Usually water distribution system design engineers are not concerned with laterals but with flows and pressures in the mains.

Forum Post: hydraulic time step for SewerCAD.
Hello, I have a question on setting correct time step in SewerCAD. I am modeling a big wastewater collection system with 200+ submersible pump stations. Pump station is turned on and off by the water level inside the wet well. To get a quicker simulation, it is desirable to set the hydraulic time step as one hour. I believe sewerCAD assumes the system is at one steady state in the 60-minute duration. if one pump station works at 7:30-7:34AM, I believe SewerCAD will ignore this start completely. If the pump station works 7:58-0:02AM, I think SewerCAD can catch it since the time interval crosses the timeline. In order to catch pump station activities better, I set the hydraulic time step as 36 seconds (0.01hr). it works good, the only weakness is the extremely long time to run a system like mine. I am not sure I understand and use SewerCAD correctly. I want to know if SewerCAD run at one hour time interval and still give the start and stop moments of each pump starts for each individual pump station. Thanks.

Wiki Page: How do I set a minimum shear stress to ensure the tractive forces are large enough to scour the pipes?
Applies To Product(s): Bentley SewerGEMS, Bentley SewerCAD Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX Environment: N/A Area: Original Author: Mark Pachlhofer, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem How do I set a minimum shear stress to ensure the tractive forces are large enough to scour the pipes? Note: This only applies in SewerGEMS if you are using the GVF Convex Solver Solution You can set this in the calculation options in the location shown below You can also specify local tractive stress on a per-pipe basis: Then, after computing the model (GVF Convex Solver), you can see the calculated tractive stress and whether or not it met the target. These results are found in the properties of the conduit under the "Results (Tractive Stress)" section or in a Flextable. You can also color code by "tractive stress target exceeded" or "tractive stress target ever exceeded" to visualize:

Forum Post: WaterCad elevation transfer
I have used Autocad civil 3d integrated with water cad in oredr to draw my layout, and then , I have save as DWG and a DXF, unfortunitely the elevation that I have transfered to watercad was not correct, advice please . warm regards

Forum Post: RE: hydraulic time step for SewerCAD.
The hydraulic time step that you enter is the maximum time step. However, when a pump turns on or off, a new time step is created in between the hydraulic time steps to capture the pump switch. If you look at the calculation summary, you will see these intermediate time steps. There is no need to insert those tiny time steps when you use the SewerCAD GVF solver. I suggest you just use the one hour steps and see how that works. If you have no pump switching, it will use the one hour time steps. During a time step, the flows are considered constant but the levels in the wet wells vary.
