Wiki Page: Error when installing program: "Unspecified error / 0xfffff95a" or "Fatal error during installation / 0x80070643"
Product(s): WaterGEMS, WaterCAD, SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, CivilStorm, StormCAD, HAMMER Version(s): 10.00.00.xx Area: Installation Problem When installing version 10.00.00.55 of the Water products or 10.00.00.45 of the storm/sewer products, the following error message is generated: "Unspecified error / 0xfffff95a" or "Fatal error during installation / 0x80070643" Solution - CONNECTION Client This issue tends to be related to the installation of CONNECTION Client. There is a CONNECTION Client installer included with the installation file for the water or storm/sewer products. If the installation of CONNECTION Client fails, the error message above will be generated. To resolve this issue, try installing CONNECTION Client first. You can download this from the Software Downloads section of the CONNECTION Center . Search for CONNECTION Client version 10.00.07.30, and download and install this on the computer. Once this is completed, you can try installing the water or storm/sewer product again. Solution - Reboot If the issue still continues, try rebooting the computer and then install the water or storm/sewer product once more. The error code shown in some cases refers to a pending reboot preventing the setup from completing. Solution - out of disk space The "0x800 70643" error can also occur if you have run out of disk space. Check the available space on the drive that you selected to install to. If disk space is too low, delete unnecessary files or install to a different drive with adequate free space. Solution - Scripting issue, requiring updated installation file If a reboot or reinstallation of the CONNECTION Client does not resolve the issue, you may have encountered a more rare situation where the setup cannot execute certain scripts. After the error appears, open File Explorer (Windows Explorer), type "%temp%" in the address bar, press enter (to navigate to the Windows Temp folder), sort by modified date, then look at the most recently updated files.

Wiki Page: Trial (Disconnected) Mode Activation Troubleshooting for Hydraulics and Hydrology Software
Product(s): WaterGEMS, WaterCAD, HAMMER, SewerGEMS,CivilStorm,SewerCAD, StormCAD, PondPack Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX and later (features vary) Area: Licensing Problem My software says that it's running in trial mode. How do I fix that? One of the following messages may be appearing when opening the product. "The license server could not be contacted during the required period. Some calculating and printing features will be disabled or, for some products, the application will not run. Please contact the Bentley Technical Support Group." "No license configurations are available for " "You are currently running in disconnected mode. You will need to connect to the SELECTserver within "X" days in order to remain activated. Would you like to run the License Management Tool now?" Solution First, ensure that you've followed the steps to set the default feature configuration . Option 1 1. Close the hydraulics and hydrology software. 2. Open the Municipal License Administrator (Start > All Programs > Bentley > [Product Name] > Municipal License Administrator) 3. Go to Tool > Options > Verify Ensure that this verifies. If it does not, make sure that you are connected to the internet and that you typed the server name and activation key in correctly. Make sure there are no spaces before or after the server name or the activation key. Click Ok. 4. Click the Refresh Configurations button. Make sure the features column shows the correct information for your Bentley Hydraulic and Hydrology licenses. 5. Select the product license with the appropriate features, and click the Make Default button. You will see a ">>>" in the "Default" column next to the license. Important: Even if the license is already set as the default, designate it as the default again. This will instruct the product to expect the features in the new order. 6.Close the Municipal License Administrator and then browse back to Start > All Programs > Bentley > WaterCAD and click on "license management tool". 7.Go to Tools > "Send Logs Now" - when this completes, go back and run this command a few more times to ensure that everything is synchronized. 8.Open the program. If any warnings appear, acknowledge them, close the program and repeat step 7. 9. If this does not work and the message comes up again you can use the steps found in the section of this wiki titled "Non-SELECT Licenses" that explain how to check out a license file. SELECT customer should not have to do this, but if you need to use the software immediately this will resolve the problem. If you have to use this method please contact technical support when you have time to troubleshoot the issue further. Note: The Activation Status tab in the License Management Tool may show two listings for the product license with the same features but listed in a different order. One of them should display a status of Activated, however. Option 2 WARNING: Extra care should be taken when modifying the registry. When clicking on "computer", you can click File > Export to save a backup copy of the registry . You might also want to contact your IT department to help you with the steps below. 1. Close the software and make sure to close the Municipal License Administrator (MLA) tool and License Management Tool (LMT) if they are open 2. Open the registry and make a backup of it or call you IT department to perform the next steps. 3. In the registry browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bentley\Municipal Products Group\Licensing\1.1 and delete the folder in there titled 'Applications' 4. In the registry browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Bentley\Municipal Products Group\Licensing\1.1 and delete the folder in there titled 'Applications' 5. In the registry browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Software\Bentley\Municipal Products Group\Licensing\1.1 and delete the folder in there titled 'Applications' Note: Some of the folders in the above locations may not exist. If they don't just skip that step and move on to the next one. 6. Use the steps in this wiki technote to reset the defaults in the MLA tool and then send logs using the LMT tool. Option 3 1. Close the hydraulics and hydrology software. 2. Open the license management tool (Start > All Programs > Bentley > Application Name > license management tool) and go through the activation steps to make sure the product is activated (Tools > Product activation Wizard) 3.

Forum Post: SewerCAD sanitary loads using catchments?
Is it at all possible to utilize catchments in SewerCAD to set either your unit sanitary loads or infiltration loads? I've been playing around with catchments in SewerCAD, but it seems to me like they are used primarily for direct stormwater runoff using a design storm. I am wondering if catchments can be altered to represent a constant L/s/ha rate. Thanks

Forum Post: Hydraulic Grade downstream of VSP
I'm trying to model a VSP with a set flow. The pump is a booster pump that is pumping from an interconnection modeled as a reservoir. Once I run an EPS scenario the hydraulic grade just downstream of the pump goes crazy and the pump turns off. Elevations are correct for everything, the pump curve looks right, and it's pumping into a system with tanks so the water does have somewhere to go. Not sure how to fix this, any advice is appreciated.

Forum Post: RE: SewerCAD sanitary loads using catchments?
Catchments are primarily used for storm water flows with a design storm, but a user can also enter inflows directly into the "Inflow (Wet) Collection" property. These can be entered into the Inflow Control Center, which is similar to Sanitary Load Control Center, where flows can be entered in bulk. The Inflow (Wet) Collection property can be used to enter a fixed inflow or a hydrograph inflow.

Forum Post: RE: Modelling of Valve Closure effect
In the model you sent, the valve pattern is set to close between 0 and 60% between time 0 and 50 seconds, then from 60% to 100% between time 50 seconds and 100 seconds. The simulation duration is set to 60 seconds. This does not seem to match your description, so I adjusted the pattern like this: With this, I do see a very large transient occur when the valve closes, resulting in very high pressures. The reason is because the valve characteristics have not been entered, so HAMMER does not know how the valve gradually closes. Instead, it only know that the valve is fully closed at time 20 seconds (or, the time in the operating rule where the relative closure reaches 100%). This essentially means that it assumes an instant closure (within 1 timestep) at 20.0 seconds, rather than a gradual closure over the whole 20 seconds. If you look at the TCV properties (TCV-1 and TCV-2), you will see that the headloss coefficient and minor loss coefficient input fields are set to zero. You will need to enter a value for these in order to properly model the valve closure. The headloss coefficient setting (initial) represents the headloss through the valve in the initial conditions. The "Minor Loss Coefficient (local)" represents the loss through the valve in the fully-open conditions. Both need to be entered. For example if I enter a 2.0 for the former and 1.0 for the latter, the resulting transient pressures will be much more realistic. See: Gradual closure not occurring when using valve operating rule

Forum Post: RE: WaterGEMS V8i Error message - Could not load file or assembly
Tara, glad to hear that worked. It may indicate a problem with a shapefile background layer. By opening the WTG and SQLITE in a separate folder, any background layers that were previously added will not load. You may want to try adding in a shapefile as a background to test. if the same error occurs, there could be a number of possible reasons. Here are a couple of possibilities: 1) Antivirus is somehow quarantining the file mentioned in the error message. Check your antivirus/security software to see if there is evidence of interference, and add an exception to the WaterGEMS installation folder if so. 2) The program cannot load the file from the correct location for some reason, which could be due to a number of issues. Upgrading to the latest version (10.00.00.55) if possible, would be a good first step.

Wiki Page: In the data tab of a graph, why do I only see data in increments of the calculation timestep? (Solution 500000069209)
Applies To Product(s): SewerCAD, SewerGEMS (GVF-Convex solver) Version(s): V8i, CONNECT Edition Area: Output and Reporting Original Author: Jesse Dringoli, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem In the data tab of a graph, why do I only see data in increments of the calculation timestep, when intermediate timesteps are present from pressure results? In a model with intermediate timesteps in a pressure subnetwork, why are they reflected in a graph but not in the data tab? Problem ID#: 42742 Solution By default, the data tab of the graph will be shown at every hydraulic/reporting timestep. If you'd like to see intermediate timestep results, this is controlled by the Time Browser (formerly known as the EPS results browser).

A flow split can be modeled in either StormCAD or CivilStorm. This wiki article explains how to model a flow split using the GVF-Rational solver (StormCAD) and this wiki explains how to model a flow split using the implicit or explicit solver (CivilStorm) . If necessary the flow split can be modeled in the dynamic solvers (CivilStorm) and the flow information can be input into the StormCAD model where the data needs to be manually defined.

Wiki Page: How to model a channel between two ponds
Product(s): PondPack Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX Area: Modeling Problem What options do I have to model a channel between two ponds? For example to ensure that the channel is properly sized (and does not impact pond outflow) including both the flow that enters directly into the channel from the road, plus pond runoff. Problem ID#: 39298, Solution 1) If the water surface in the channel does not have the possibility of backing up and affecting the pond discharge, then model the outlet structure of the upstream pond as a free outfall. The outlet link will connect to a junction, which would then connect to a conduit. The conduit should be configured with the geometry of your channel and will connect to an outfall. The outfall will connect to the downstream pond. 2) If the channel water surface could effect the upstream pond discharge, but not to the point of reverse flow, then model the tailwater condition of the upstream pond's composite outlet structure as "downstream channel". Then, select the channel geometry. This will cause the outlet structure rating curve to account for the tailwater of the channel, based on the Manning equation. Note that if you need to account for water that also enters the channel from other places such as a nearby road, this option will not work as the channel will only be passing the pond outflow. 3) If the channel water surface could potentially back up into the upstream channel, OR if you need to account for additional flow that enters the channel as well, then you must use the Interconnected Pond Modeling (ICPM) feature (pond outlet tailwater type). However, a channel link element cannot be used downstream of an ICPM pond route. So, you would need to model the channel as a third pond, adding a 'fake' pond on the upstream end of the channel (conduit) with a free outfall control structure that has a rating curve based on the channel's rating curve. Please see the "ICPM Channel.ppc" example model(within the "Samples" folder under your Pondpack8 installation folder) to see how this would be set up. With this, you can also route catchment outflow to the "fake" pond (the upstream side of the "channel"). Original Author: Jesse Dringoli

Forum Post: RE: Skelebrator Tool with Isolation Valves
Hi Sushma, My suspicion is that loops are being removed during skeletonization and therefore closed iso valves would cause disconnection errors when they wouldn't have in the un-skeletonized model. Trying to get to the root cause of why my model has several disconnection errors after performing one round of Smart Pipe Removal with the only condition being the removal of pipe less than or equal to 8-inches. This issue is better to discuss over the phone and with screen sharing. Is this option of support available? Thanks, Mike

After looking at the skeletonization results a little more closely, pipes are being removed that are causing the disconnection, usually around areas of PRVs. Is there a way to get some guidance on this issue to ensure that model integrity is maintained during skeletonization? Our model has 43,000 pipes and I'm looking to skeletonize down to 10,000 - 15,000 pipes. Thanks, Mike
