Solution It is possible to model a vertical pipe and view viable results, though how it will look in the profile will not be accurate. The profile will display the pipe's length horizontally. The recommendation would be as follows. When entering the data for the vertical pipe length, enter the correct node elevations and the vertical pipe length as a user-defined length (Choose "true" for "Has user defined length?". With the correct data entered, the program will correctly calculate the modeling effects as a vertical pipe. It will not be displayed correctly in the profile though. A future release of HAMMER may model this in a more direct manner and allow a user to display the vertical pipe as well as provide accurate results.

Applies To Product(s): Bentley WaterGEMS, Bentley WaterCAD, Bentley HAMMER, Bentley SewerGEMS, Bentley SewerCAD, Bentley StormCAD, Bentley CivilStorm, Bentley PondPack Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX Environment: N/A Area: Layout and Data Input Original Author: Craig Calvin, Bentley Technical Support Group How to specify automatic numbering format for new elements as they are added to the network. Go to, Tools > Options > Labeling tab From here, you can set how new elements will be labeled for each element type. Buttons Save As : Saves your element labeling settings to an element label project file, which is an. xml file. Load : Opens an existing element label project file. Reset : Resets the values in the 'Next' column to the values that are located in the 'Increment' column. The default value of the increment column is 1. Labeling Table Columns Element : Shows the type of element to which the label applies. On : Turns automatic element labeling on and off for the associated element type. Next : Type the integer you want to use as the starting value for the ID number portion of the label. Bentley WaterGEMS V8i generates labels beginning with this number and chooses the first available unique label. Increment : Type the integer that is added to the ID number after each element is created to yield the number for the next element. Prefix : Type the letters or numbers that appear in front of the ID number for the elements in your network. Digits : Type the minimum number of digits that the ID number has. For instance, 1, 10, and 100 with a digit setting of two would be 01, 10, and 100. Suffix : Type the letters or numbers that appear after the ID number for the elements in your network. Preview : Displays what the label looks like based on the information you have entered in the previous fields. How to edit existing element labels. Elements that have already been placed can be edited in the "Label" field of the Properties grid for individual elements. FlexTables can also be used to edit existing element labels and make it easier to edit multiple elements at a time. All elements in the FlexTable can be edited at the same time by right-clicking on the "Label" column heading, then clicking "Relabel…". The following three types of relabeling operations can be performed: Replace : This operation allows you to replace all instances of a character or series of characters in the selected element labels with another piece of text. Example: P could be replaced with the word Pipe by entering P in the Find field, Pipe in the Replace With field, and clicking OK. P-1 would be replaced with Pipe-1 and so on. Append : This operation allows you to append a prefix, suffix, or both to the selected element labels. Example: Suppose that you have selected the labels 5, 10, 15, and 20, and you wish to signify that these elements are actually pipes in Zone 1 of your system. You can use the append operation to add an appropriate prefix and suffix, such as P and -Z1, by specifying these values in the Prefix and Suffix fields and clicking the Apply button. Performing this operation yields the labels P5-Z1, P10-Z1, P15-Z1 and P20-Z1. Renumber : This operation allows you to generate a new label, including suffix, prefix, and ID number for each selected element. Example: If you had the labels P-1, P-4, P-10, and Pipe-12, you could use this feature to renumber the elements in increments of five, starting at five, with a minimum number of two digits for the ID number field. You could specify a prefix P and a suffix -Z1 in the Prefix and Suffix fields, respectively. The prefix and suffix are appended to the front and back of the automatically generated ID number. The value of the new ID for the first element to be relabeled, 5, is entered in the Next field. The value by which the numeric base of each consecutive element is in increments, 5, is entered in the Increment field. The minimum number of digits in the ID number, 2, is entered in the Digits field. If the number of digits in the ID number is less than this value, zeros are placed in front of it. Click the Apply button to produce the following labels: P05-Z1, P10-Z1, P15-Z1, and P20-Z1. Note: The entry fields displayed depend on what operation is selected. The Preview field displays an example of the new label using the currently defined settings. See Also How do I append a prefix to element labels based on a selection set of elements?

Wiki Page: How does pump inertia effect the pump calculations during a transient simulation?
Product(s): Bentley HAMMER Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX Environment: N\A Area: Calculations Problem How does pump inertia effect the pump calculations during a transient simulation? Why don't I see any change in transient results when changing the pump inertia? Solution The use of the pump inertia input in a transient simulation in HAMMER depends on the Transient Pump Type: Shut After Time Delay With the shut after time delay transient pump type, HAMMER assumes that the pump's applied electrical torque instantly drops to zero at the time specified in the "Time (Delay until shut down)" property. At this point, the impeller will still be spinning and partially keeping the momentum of the water column moving, but will be slowing down based on the Inertia. In general, the higher the inertia, the longer it will take for the pump to shut down. Variable speed/torque When using the variable speed/torque option, the Operating Rule can either control the speed of a pump or the applied torque, depending on what you select for the Control Variable. This is explained in more detail in these two articles: Pump Startup occurs too quickly / initial upsurge too severe Residual flows different for different pump shut down methods. When the Control Variable is set to Speed, the Operating Rule is directly controlling the pump impeller speed, in which case the pump inertia does not influence the calculations (since you're essentially including its effect in the operating rule pattern). When the Control Variable is set to Torque, the Operating Rule is directly controlling the electrical torque applied to the pump, and the impeller speed will be based on factors including the inertia that you enter. Speed is a part of the Four-Quadrant characteristic curve that HAMMER uses to simulate the hydraulics of the pump during the transient simulation, and is a function of the Specific Speed that you enter. More on this here: How are the pump flows used in the transient analysis derived in HAMMER? Note: See Help topics "Pump Inertia" and "Pump and Motor Inertia Calculator" for more information on entering the Inertia value.

Wiki Page: Modeling a pump shut down transient event
Applies To Product(s): Bentley HAMMER Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX Environment: N/A Area: Original Author: Mark Pachlhofer, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem How do I model a pump shut down transient event? Solution Shut down after time delay The traditional method of simulating a pump shutdown transient event is to use the Shut After Time Delay transient pump type. This assumes that the applied electrical torque drops to zero at the time that you specify for the shutdown. For more on the assumptions, check the article in the "See Also" section at the bottom of this page. Here are the steps to configure a pump shutdown event in HAMMER: 1) Set the pump Status(Initial) to 'On' 2) In the Transient (Operational) section of the pump properties set the pump type (transient) to 'Shut Down After Time Delay'. 3) Set the Time (Delay until Shut Down) property. The time you enter is the time at which the power to the pump motor is shut off. It should also be noted that a linear closure is assumed for this case. 4) Set the Pump Valve Type to check valve or control valve depending if the pump has one of these type of valves. If your pump has a control valve you'll need to enter the time it takes for the valve to close. This is the time taken for the pump discharge control valve to close after the transient simulation begins. The check valve assumes instant closure on the first detection of reverse flow. If you want neither a control valve nor a check valve, choose control valve and enter a large number such as 99999 seconds. If you want to control the closure time of the check valve use the steps from the last sentence then insert a check valve node element from your layout toolbar just downstream of the pump. See screen shot below: Variable Speed/Torque pump shut down Another option to model a pump shutdown transient event is to use the variable speed/torque option. Here are the steps: 1) Set the pump Status(Initial) to 'On' 2) Set the Pump Type to "Variable Speed/Torque". 3) In the Time (Valve to Operate) property you enter the time to close the check valve or to open it if initial flow is zero. If the check valve allows flow only in one direction enter 0 (i.e. the pump has a built in check valve). To simulate a pump with no check valve enter a very small number like 0.1 seconds, so the valve closes immediately. 4) For the control variable properties you can choose either speed or torque. For more information on the difference between the variable speed and torque setting please refer to this wiki article . Here the default value is to control the speed of the impeller by the using the pattern. If you want to control the speed using torque, so the momentum of the impeller is accounted for like with the shut down after time delay type you have the option to do that too. Doing this you will need to enter the nominal torque of the pump before it shuts down. The nominal torque is then multiplied by the operating rule pattern multiplier that will result in the torque values the engine uses. To simulate the same behavior as the "shut after time delay", you would have the multiplier in the pattern drop from 1.0 (full applied torque) to zero in one timestep, at the time that you want the shutdown to occur. 5) Define the operating rule the pump will shut down based on. Click the dropdown button in the entry box and choose to create a pattern. 6) Under the Operational(Transient, Pump) section you'll right click to create a new pattern and set the starting multiplier equal to 1.000. In the section of the window under that enter the "Time from Start" , which is the time the valve starts to close. In the multiplier column enter 0 for when the valve is closed. If you have the valve close between time steps 5 and 10 seconds it will incrementally close over that period.

Forum Post: RE: Borehole pump
Hello Yosief, Regarding the problem with pressure in EPS - the reason why the graph of pressure jumps up to a value much higher than expected is because the tank becomes full. This happens at around 2.81 hours. You'll see a warning about this in your User Notification window and you can graph Percent Full in the tank to see it. When this happens, the tank's built-in altitude valve closes the adjacent pipe. At this point, since there are no demands downstream of the pump, the pump operates at its shutoff head - the head at zero flow. If you graph the calculated pump head (or use the vertical bar in a graph to advance forward in time and look at the pump properties), you can see that the calculated pump head is 195 feet when the tank is full. This is the shutoff head in your pump definition. This increase in pump head causes the increase in head in the pipe in question. The reason why the tank becomes full is because the pumps are always on and filling the tank - there is nothing in place to turn the pumps off or to drain the tank. To prevent this from happening, you would typically set up controls to turn the pumps on or off based on the level of that downstream tank. You would also most likely have some demand downstream of the tank that would drain it. Regarding how this impacts the transient simulation - in the transient calculation options, you must select a specific timestep to represent the initial steady state (a transient is a transition from one steady state to another). Typically a HAMMER model uses a standard steady state simulation for the initial conditions, in which case there is only one timestep. With an EPS like in your case, you would enter the initial conditions timestep in the transient calculation option "Initialize transient run at time". So, to answer your question about how the EPS results would effect the transient simulation - it depends on the time that you select here. In the model you sent, I see that you have set this to 1.00 hours, which means it will use the results from the 1.0 timestep of the EPS, as the starting steady state for the transient simulation. HAMMER then looks at the transient events that you have configured (in your case the pumps have been set to shut after time delay), and applies them, with the assumption that the initial conditions is time zero. So, with the "Initialize transient run at time" set to 1.00 hours, it will be using results from the EPS before the "problem" occurs - before the tank becomes full and the pumps operate at their shutoff head. (this happens at 2.81). At 1.00 hours into your EPS, the tank is not yet full and the pumps are operating near the best efficiency point. So, the transient simulation should be OK, if you intended to start it in such a condition (both pumps running, tank near full). Regarding the initial concern you mentioned about the transient results: animating the profile in the transient results viewer is a very powerful tool for visualizing what happens during a transient simulation. Check out this video for more: Using Profile Animation to Better Understand Transient Results in HAMMER In your model, you can improve the animation by considering the following: Reduce the amount of report points. In your calculation options, you currently have this set to 128 elements. It is best to limit this to only the areas where you wish to generate graphs.Otherwise you are more likely to encounter the limit on the amount of output data, which causes the program to automatically reduce the output increment. You'll see a user notification about the report period increasing by a certain factor. "Report point history type" - I recommend setting this to "only if on path", for similar reasons as above. Time step interval - you have this set to 0.001 seconds. This is typically the smallest value I would use in HAMMER, and only if needed. In your system, a more typical value of 0.01 may be more appropriate and will greatly improve the speed at which you can complete the model calculation. There is a balance between short run time and accuracy though, primarily due to adjustment to wave speed or lengths, as explained in this article . Run Duration - you have this set to 300 seconds. At least for troubleshooting purposes, I suggest limiting this to a value high enough so you can observe the problem. For example in this case the severe response is seen soon after the pump shuts down at 5 seconds, so you could set this to 20 seconds. If you animate the transient results for your model, you'll see that a significant drop in hydraulic grade occurs as soon as the pump shuts down, which quickly results in full-vacuum conditions over most of the pipeline, forming vapor pockets throughout, some of which collapses and contribute to the transient min and max HGL. if you say that these pumps do not experience problems with transients, there are many reasons for the difference. Some thoughts and ideas: 1) Maybe the real pumps have some kind of soft start/stop? See this article for more information on the assumption behind the shut after time delay type: How does pump inertia effect the pump calculations during a transient simulation? If needed, you could use the "variable speed/torque" transient pump type to control the impeller speed or applied electrical torque over time. 2) Maybe the pumps' inertia is different from what you entered in the pump definition? You can read more about this in the Help, or in the above article. 3) Maybe the headloss in this system is higher than you assumed, due to aging of the pipes, blockage, stuck valves, aging of he pumps, etc. If this were the case, it could drive up the pump head, possibly high enough such that when the pump shutdown occurs, the HGL does not drop low enough to cause vapor pockets. You could set up a few new scenarios with increased headloss to test and compare. 4) Maybe these transients have indeed been occurring to some degree and just have not caused any failures yet. Do you have high speed pressure logger results that would show otherwise? As a side note, you may notice that your vertical pipe does not look quite right in profile view. There is some explanation about that here: Modeling a vertical pipe in HAMMER

Forum Post: RE: Borehole pump
Jesse thank you for prompt response. In regard to the head in EPS although it is good to know that the shutoff pressure did not impact the surge pressure there is no valve at the downstream end of the pipe and the reservoir is fed from the top so I did not expect the shut off head to be dissimilar from the normal operating head. And thank you on your suggestions on improving the animation. These are helpful. My main reason for using extremely short time step was to avoid the error message regarding the wave speed and pipe length duration. But I managed to minimise the errors by using skeletonizer. In regard to the pump inertia I calculated it based on power and pump speed using the calculation tool in hammer. In general borehole pumps are design to start and stop quickly so I am reasonably comfortable on that.

Forum Post: RE: TCV in WaterCAD
Hoshi, The flow is determined based on the flow entering the valve and the discharge coefficient at the time of the calculation, which is based on the valve settings pattern (time vs. multiplier) that you'd create and assign to the valve. Yes, the flow is determined using the energy equations from the junction to junction and yes, your understanding of the way the flows are calculated is correct. The "Discharge coefficient" is also known as a "valve coefficient" or "Cv", as you know, which is defined as: Flow / (Pressure Drop) ^ 0.5. Cv is converted to a minor loss coefficient in order to determine that. There are numerous coefficients used to describe the operation of a valve (example). The one used in HAMMER, WaterCAD, and WaterGEMS is the commonly used valve coefficient Cv, defined as: Q = Cv (pressuredrop)^0.5. Another way to express it and consider specific gravity is: Cv = Q (specific gravity / Pressuredrop)^0.5 You can also refer to this wiki, which explains how headlosses are determined for the TCV with the different initial status settings. communities.bentley.com/.../26424.how-are-headlosses-determined-for-tcv-s-with-the-different-initial-status-settings This wiki about TCV field assumptions gets into details about the discharge coefficient and valve function: communities.bentley.com/.../15981.valve-type-field-assumptions-and-use-with-a-tcv Regards, Mark

Wiki Page: Transition Time vs. Warm Up Time in Implicit solver calculation options
Applies To Product(s): Bentley SewerGEMS, Bentley CivilStorm Version(s): 10.00.xx.xx, 08.11.xx.xx Environment: N\A Area: Calculations Subarea: N\A Original Author: Nancy Mahmoud, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem When do I use transition time or warm up time for the Start Type in the calculation options? Problem ID#: 51848 Solution Each system responds to calculation options differently. By default the engine assumes a dry condition to start the simulation; i.e., all inflows are zero and all depths are zero in all elements at the beginning. For situations in which the user wants a non-zero starting flow or the catchments’ hydrology calculations to give none-zero flows, the model provides two options to start the simulation: select Warm Up Time for a warm-up start or Transition Start for a transitional start. In a warm-up start, the model estimates initial depths based on non-zero inflows and uses a user-specified warm-up time (entered in the Warm Up Time field) to approach steady state conditions prior to starting the actual simulation. In a transition start, the model initiates the simulation from zero flows and immediately reaches the actual none-zero flows in the first time step and continued the simulation. Note that if the model is a looped network then the warm-up start will be disabled, because of the difficulty in estimating the non-zero initial conditions for complex looped networks. If you experience initial instability in the model and different warm up times don't make the results better, try transition start. If a warm up time of up to a few hours doesn't help, it is probably not reasonable to increase it further.

Forum Post: RE: TCV in WaterCAD
Regarding how it calculates the relative closure: this is based on the valve type, initial Cv and fully open Cv. Behind the scenes, the Valve Type represents a curve of relative closure vs. relative discharge coefficient. You can read more about this in the second article that Mark mentioned. Regarding how it calculates the flow - this is indeed where energy balance comes into play. In a case where you have a downstream boundary condition, the program iterates to balance energy across the network based on the physical characteristics, demands, that assumed boundary HGL, and the relationship between flow and headlos that the TCV's Cv represents. The more flow the more headloss, but the boundary condition needs to be satisfied. The program will settle on a balanced solution and you'll see the corresponding flow and headloss across the TCV. In case where you only have demands downstream of the TCV, it's easier to solve - the flow through the TCV is simply the sum of the downstream demand, and the headloss across the TCV will correspond to that flow, given the Cv.
