Forum Post: RE: Rainfall Intensity
Thank you sir for your support Now while i am working ahead. I find some douts regarding time of concerntration,Tc and intensity of rainfall. Case 1 On my network for ex. Catchment(CM-1) have total time of concerntarion from end/far point of CM to drain outlet is 20 min. Now i want to use this Tc (20 min) for CM-1. By using propoert of CM i insert this Tc. but when i change this Tc to 25 min is dosent change any value in discharge. For this case i have use only single value IDF curve ( See in fig) because i want 155 mm/hr intensity in my network. so how can i use Tc for different CM. While desingning the network it will consider very very large dia within small area. so i think software will not proerly considered Tc . Thats why they gave me a cumulative design of large dia . Case 2 As per storm data I have insert IDF table( shown n below image) Now if i want use intensity of 2 Year & 5 Min. (150 mm/hr). so how can i use? From the Component>Global Storm Event I have select 2 Year column event. but how can I select 5 Min. durattion??? I hope my case are clear to understand plese guide me.

Hello Sajil, To create profile of the elements in the model , you need to right click in the drawing area without selecting any element>Create Profile>Select start node and stop node>name the profile>select the fields that you want to see in the profile. You can also access the profile window from View>Profile>create new>Select the elements from the drawing

Once you have a profile, you will have two lines HGL and ground vs. distance along the profile. The pressure is indicated by the distance the HGL line is above the ground. If it is large, the pressure is high; if it is small, the pressure is low. Look along the profile for places where the pressure is too high or low. Then simulate some corrective action and run it through the model.

Forum Post: RE: Flow from A Wet well to A Gravity sewer System
Thanks Jesse! Yes I probably have to, conservatively, use 204.95 gpm sewer flow to size the gravity system instead of 94.2 gpm However, how can I take the upstream population into account (the more population, the less dry weather peaking factor) to size the another gravity system ? Just say gravity system = 358 DU flow to the wet well then this wet well pumps 204.95 gpm flows to another gravity system. I don't know how to take the upstream 358 DUs (after flowed to wet well) into another gravity system. Generally, if sewer gravity systems are modeled with wet wells involved, how the upstream population is applied to sub gravity sewer systems Thanks very much! Bruce

Wiki Page: How can I open a model created in an older version (7.0 and below) and retain its presentation settings?
Applies To Product(s): Bentley WaterGEMS, Bentley WaterCAD Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX Environment: N/A Area: Original Author: Mark Pachlhofer, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem How can I open a model created in an older version (7.0 and below) and retain its presentation settings? Solution To open the model, you must select "database files" from the "files of type" dropdown when opening a model, and browse to the .mdb file associated with the older model. Since the presentation settings (color coding, annotation, etc) are stored in the .wcd file, they will not be imported by default. In most cases, this is fine, and you can skip the prompt for presentation settings, since V8 XM includes more robust options for color coding and annotation. If you would like to retain the presentation settings, you must export them from version 7 first, by opening the model in version 7 and going to File > Export > V8 XM Presentation Settings. Note, however, that this menu item will not be present unless the exact build of version 7 is 07.00.061.00 and WaterGEMS/CAD V8 XM must have been installed second, since the installation of V8 XM is what places that menu item in V7. For very old models, created in Version 5 or below, you will only have a .wcd. So, you'll need to first open the model in V7 (which can open .wcd files) then save it in order to create the .mdb file that you can import into V8/V8i.

Wiki Page: Converting Cybernet model files to the V8i format
Applies To Product(s): Bentley WaterGEMS, Bentley WaterCAD Version(s): 08.11.xx.xx Environment: N\A Area: Layout and Data Input Subarea: N\A Original Author: Scott Kampa, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem Description What are the steps to convert a Cybernet file into a WaterCAD or WaterGEMS V8i file? Steps to Resolve There is a no way to directly open or import a Cybernet file into WaterCAD or WaterGEMS V8i. The exact steps will depend on the type of Cybernet file you have. If the file is a .C2W format, this can be imported into WaterCAD Version 7 by going to File > Import > Network, and choosing the appropriate file format. Once the Cybernet model is imported, it will be in the WaterCAD Version 7 format, with file types of .WCD and .MDB. The .MDB file can be imported into WaterCAD or WaterGEMS V8i using the steps found at the following link: http://communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/w/hydraulics_and_hydrology__wiki/9295.importing-older-watercadwatergems-files-into-watercadwatergems-v8i If the Cybernet file only has a .DWG file, the file must be converted using WaterCAD V7 integrated with AutoCAD 2006. Open the .DWG file in WatCAD V7 for AutoCAD 2006 and select the WaterCAD "GO" button, like you are going to compute the model. This will open the file conversion wizard and begin the process to convert the files to WaterCAD v7 format. Once you have the files converted, the steps to bring the model into WaterCAD or WaterGEMS V8i will be the same as that found in the link above. If you do not have WaterCAD V7, contact Bentley Technical Support for assistance in importing the files. See Also How can I open a model created in version 7.0 of WaterCAD and bring it in below to retain its presentation settings in a V8/V8i version?

Forum Post: RE: Flow from A Wet well to A Gravity sewer System
Hi Bruce, If I'm understanding your question correctly - you can't pass the pumped flows into the downstream gravity system and pass along the population and peaking factor at the same time. Check out the article mentioned in my previous response - Set "Used Pumped Flows?" to "True" and it will pass the upstream population/extreme flow factors into the downstream gravity system, thereby passing along the wetwell inflow. In the case of using the pumped flow, the downstream gravity pipes would be sized using that higher, pumped flow instead of the flow based on extreme flow factors.

Forum Post: RE: Rainfall Intensity
Your flow is not changing when you change the Tc because you only have one intensity in the IDF curve. The intensity is the "I" in Q=CIA and is based on the Tc of your catchment. The program looks at the Tc of your catchment and finds the corresponding intensity on the IDF curve for that duration and calculates the flow using Q=CIA. As you move downstream, the System Time is tracked and the flow is recalculated according to that respective intensity on the IDF curve for that duration along with the upstream contributing area (CA). In your second example where you have 5, 10 and 15 minute entries in your IDF curve, you would "select" 5 minutes by entering 5 minutes for the catchment duration. I would strongly recommend reading some of the theory part of the Help on the rational method, and consider some of the material on the rational method in various textbooks such as Stormwater Conveyance Modeling and Design .

Forum Post: Time duration assist pump
Hi, I am trying to model a pump duty/assist set up where if pump 1 has been operating for longer than 6 hours then pump 2 comes on to top up the tank. Pump 1 is controlled by tank levels and I was wondering if there was any way to have my second pump controlled by the duration of pump 1 run? Both pumps stop operating when the tank reaches a certain level I was just wondering how I was best to set my controls to start the second pump 6 hours after the first pump starts. Thanks in advance

Forum Post: RE: Flow from A Wet well to A Gravity sewer System
Hi Jesse, I set " Used Pumped Flows?" to true and see that the wet well pumped the upstream population of 358 DUs along with the flow of 204.95 gpm (inflow = 94.2 gpm) to the gravity sewer system down stream. Do I have to use both of the flow and number of DUs to size the gravity sewer system down stream? I don't know but It seems the down stream sewer system, along with its own population, taking "double" inflow Thanks for replying for my questions.
