Wiki Page: Entering catchment data directly to a catch basin
Product(s): Bentley StormCAD Version(s): 08.11.xx.xx Environment: N\A Area: Problem Is it possible to enter catchment data like the C value, area, and time of concentration directly to a catchment, rather than including the catchment element itself? Solution Sometimes the catchment elements are not readily available to include in a drawing, but the data itself, such as C value, area, and Tc, is available. In such a case, it is possible to add the data directly to the catch basin element. In the catch basin properties, you will see property fields for "External Tc" and "External CA". This data can be added directly to the catch basin properties or flextables. You can also import the data through ModelBuilder. Note that the C value and area are not entered separately, but as a single property. If the data you have is separate, you will need to multiple the C and area first, such as in Excel. If you have the flow expected from the catchment available, you could also enter that flow as "Flow (Addition Carryover)". This flow would be captured by the catch basin or possibly passed to a downstream gutter. See Also Catchment polygon visualization after importing from non-spatial data source

Forum Post: RE: StormCAD input data
Hello Rohit, Here is additional information that might be useful. If you do build the catchment areas, you can use the information in the following link to quickly populate properties like time of concentration and outflow node: communities.bentley.com/.../17529.is-there-any-automatic-method-for-input-tc-or-assign-the-outflow-element-to-the-catchment-area-to-save-time In addition to the options listed in my earlier link, you can also enter CA and Tc data directly to the catch basin. If you look in the catch basin properties, you will end properties for "External CA" and "External Tc". There represent the CA and Tc values for areas contributing flow to a catch basin. You can directly enter the CA and Tc values for a catchment and the program will compute the flow that is expected at that location. The following link has more information on this option: communities.bentley.com/.../26872.entering-catchment-data-directly-to-a-catch-basin Regards, Scott Kampa Bentley Technical Support

Forum Post: Flow looping - Issues with pump/tank filling
I'm working on a network that is supplied by an underground source. The pumps there are followed by a PRV so I've modeled this source by adding a Reservoir and boosting it's elevation while setting my PRV as was observed on the field. The network is in a rather sloped area so I have pumps in different areas. There is also a tank that's being filled by a pump until it reaches a certain level. This water tank is filled and emptied by the same pipe (which could be an issue I guess?). Once this level is reached, the underground source as well as the pump filling the water tank are shut off so the water tank supplies the whole area by gravity. Once the water tank reaches a certain level, the pump is turned back on and the system is supplied by the underground source again while filling the water tank. So I've set up the controls according to this and they seem to be working. The issue I'm having is that I can't seem to fill the tank at all. The tank empties up until it reaches the point where the pump is activated. Once the pump is activated, I get high flows that move towards the pipe supplying my water tank but it stops there and goes in a loop back to the pump. The flow values I get in this loop get pretty high. I've tried boosting the pump curve thinking that I was not getting enough pressure to get up to the water tank but it only leads to higher flow values looping in the same area. Those flow values are higher than all my demand values combined and never reach the tank to fill it up. Any ideas what could be the cause of this problem?

Forum Post: RE: Flow looping - Issues with pump/tank filling
Without seeing the model, it is hard to tell what is going on. It is possible that you have provided a way for the water to get from the discharge side of the pump back to the suction side. Check for such a loop. If there is one, you may be pumping around in a circle. WaterCAD's Pressure Zone manager tool can be used to help with this check. If the suction and discharge side of the pump are in the same pressure zone, you have a problem and need to isolate the zones. If this is not the case, your pump may not have enough head to get the water to the tank or that PRV may be reducing pressure too much, or the demand in the system may be greater than the pump production such that there is no water left to enter the tank. Why would you want to pump into a PRV? That is a waste of energy. Good luck,

Forum Post: pump control via pressure
I want control pumps in reference to pressure in pump. Meaning if the pressure in pump exceed 110 psi I want to turn on pump 2. How do I do/

Forum Post: RE: Flow looping - Issues with pump/tank filling
Thank you kindly for the quick answer. The issue does seem to be that water can get from the discharge side to the suction side. Both sides of the pump are in the same pressure zone. From the operational data I have, no isolation or check valves are closed/set up to isolate the two sides of the pump. When the pump is not working (water tank is supplying the network), a valve opens in the pump chamber to let the water flow in the opposite direction and supply the area near the water source. I'm guessing that I may have some incorrect information regarding the status of some valves in the network. I tried some different scenarios by closing some of the loops but the result is mostly negative pressures due to the new path the water has to take to reach some areas. I uploaded the model if it can help : s000.tinyupload.com I do agree that pumping into a PRV is a waste but my goal is to reproduce the network as is from the information I got in order to evaluate it's capacity for future developpements.

Forum Post: RE: How to Design Drainage line with differernt conduit shape in one network
The "Section Type" field in the properties of the conduit indicates the shape; this is where you'd select circular or box. So, you would select box for the pipes that have a box shape and circular for conduits that have a circular shape. When using the automated design feature, you'll need to ensure that you set the Conduit Type to Catalog Conduit and set up one or more Conduits Classes in the Conduit catalog. This is where you enter different size pipes for each shape and material that you'll be using. Then for each conduit (set to Catalog Conduit), select the respective catalog class, and the Section Tyle (shape) and Material will be populated. Select an initial Size and the automated design feature will attempt to select from the list of sizes in the catalog class that are designated as being available for design. For example for the pipes that you want to be box, you'll set up a catalog class in the conduit catalog with the shape set to Box, select that for the conduits that should have a box shape, and the automated design will then only select other sizes with a box shape for those conduits. Here are some related resources: communities.bentley.com/.../114589 communities.bentley.com/.../23844.automated-design-with-different-conduit-materials-and-shapes-solution-500000081492 pages.info.bentley.com/video-details ;videoDBID=CO_VID_MAY27_NAOU Quick start lessons in the help

Forum Post: RE: Rainfall Intensity
The input rainfall intensity is only specified in IDF curve in the Storm Data window. In the catchment properties, the Area, Rational C and Time of Concentration are entered. The program looks up the Tc on the IDF curve for the respective storm frequency to obtain the intensity, which is reported in the Results section of the catchment. The flow is then a result of multiplying that intensity times the catchment Area, times the Rational C (Q = CIA). Flow is recomputed using Q=CIA along with the contributing upstream C*A and the controlling system time (to look up the new intensity on the IDF Curve). For more on this, see the Theory section of the Help. If this doesn't help, can you clarify where you are looking in the catchment? Screenshots may help.

Forum Post: RE: Rational IDF Curve
1) After you enter your storm information, lay out or import your model pipe network including catchment areas that rain will fall on and discharge into the drainage system. StormCAD uses the rational method (Q=CIA) to take the IDF curve along with the Area, Rational C and Time of Concentration and calculate the flow that discharges from each catchment. If you are new to StormCAD, I would recommend going through the Quick Start Lessons in the help and/or taking our online training. These will walk you through how to set up your model. See below: Learning Resource Guide for New User of Bentley StormCAD

Forum Post: RE: Rational IDF Curve
Since I cannot split your original post, I will answer your question #2 here. For future questions, it's best to submit a separate thread. #2 - can you elaborate on what you mean by "can't see it properly"? Are you having difficulty locating the correct attribute to annotate, or are you using a particular attribute (such as "Size") are not seeing the correct size in the drawing pane? Is this the problem you're experiencing? - communities.bentley.com/.../22048.annotation-on-size-attribute-does-not-appear-correctly

Wiki Page: Preserving symbology in DGN file for Hydraulics and Hydrology products
Applies To Product(s): Bentley WaterCAD, WaterGEMS, HAMMER, StormCAD, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS, CivilStorm, PondPack Version(s): 08.11.xx.xx Environment: MicroStation Area: Output and Reporting Subarea: Original Author: Jesse Dringoli, Bentley Systems, Inc. Problem In plain MicroStation, when opening or referencing a DGN file that was part of a Hydraulics and Hydrology product (such as a StormCAD for MicroStation model), the color coding and annotation does not show up (it either does not appear, or color coding/annotations that were unchecked in element symbology show up) How can I ensure that the color coding and annotation that I see in the Microstation integrated mode of my Hydraulics and Hydrology product shows up in the same way when opened or referenced in plain MicroStation or a Bentley PowerPlatform product? Problem ID#: 92117 Solution When working in the MicroStation integrated mode, the symbology is a "transient" element and does not save with the DGN file as changes are made, unless you explicitly tell it to. To do this, click the Hydraulics and Hydrology product menu (such as WaterGEMS), then click Project > Save Symbology to Drawing. Then, click File > Save. Now when the dgn file is opened in plain MicroStation, annotations and color coding that were unchecked should not appears. If you have a version of WaterGEMS, WaterCAD or HAMMER below 08.11.04.50, there was a known issue with disabled symbology still showing up in the DGN (items that were unchecked in element symbology). This has been addressed in version 08.11.04.50 and in other Hydraulics and Hydrology products release after May, 2013. Also, currently inactive node elements that were set to disappear in WaterGEMS/WaterCAD/HAMMER (by unchecking "display inactive topology in the Tools > Options menu) will still appears in a gray color (by default.) You can use these steps to manually remove them in plain MicroStation: 1. Start the select tool 2. Show tool settings details 3. Go to the Color tab and select the "Inactive Color" (typically gray) 4. Delete the selected elements
