Forum Post: RE: Chart options in SewerGEMS
Hello Mohamad, The Cyrillic characters in certain places is a known issue with the initial release of SewerGEMS 10.00.00.45. This was due to accidentally shipping with the culture set to Russian. To resolve this, either re-download and reinstall SewerGEMS (the instance posted on the Fulfillment center has the fix), or change the "ru" to "en" in the file SewerGEMS.exe.config. This file is found in the installation folder of SewerGEMS (be sure to look at the one in the "x64" subfolder if using the 64-bit version) and can be opened with a text editor such as Notepad.

Forum Post: Discharge Coefficient (Transient) for a valve during Pump Startup conditions
Hello, I am trying to model a pump start up condition and I'm not sure what my discharge coefficient for my control valves should be. I see that when specifying that this is a pump startup transient, the default value is 1,000,000. I've tried calculating the value myself and have gotten multiple values based off of pipe size, typical flow, calculated flow etc. I am not exactly sure what would be typical of the discharge coefficient. Would someone be able to tell me more about this input? Thank you!

Wiki Page: How do the dynamic solvers calculate overflow from a catchbasin or manhole?
Product(s): SewerGEMS, CivilStorm Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX, 10.00.00.XX Area: Calculations Problem When using the Implicit or Explicit solver, when the HGL in a catchbasin or unbolted manhole reaches the rim elevation, how is the overflow rate calculated? Solution The answer depends on whether there is an attached gutter. Catchbasin with attached surface gutter link When the inlet is surcharged (i.e., the inlet node hydraulic grade line is above the ground rim elevation), the Saint Venant equations based dynamic calculation is applied instead of the HEC-22 based calculation. The physical size of the inlet opening is not used in this calculation; the overflow rate is primarily driven by the HGL and the physical properties of the adjacent link elements (no orifice/weir equation used). Imagine it as the water in the catchbasin vault spilling over into the cross sectional geometry of the downstream gutter or channel. Note that catchbasin overflow will pass down a connected downstream gutter, or a channel link element if the invert is set to the rim elevation. With the Explicit (SWMM) solver, a calculation option called "Inlet Transition Depth" is available, to help achieve a smooth transition in switching between the HEC-22 and dynamic equations when a surcharge condition is reached. The model needs a small transition depth within which the equations are gradually switched. The smaller the transition depth is, the more accurate results are but the model will be less stable. This calculation option gives user a control over the transition depth. Typical values are on the order of 0.1-0.5 feet and a default value of 0.5 has been proven to be satisfactory for most conditions. Catchbasin with no surface gutter, or bolted manhole Depending on the dynamic solver being used, the overflow from an unbolted manhole, or catchbasin with no downstream gutter link, is treated as follows: (a) Implicit dynamic solver (DW) For catchbasins with no downstream gutter link element, or for manholes with the "is bolted?" set to "false", overflow is calculated when the hydraulic grade exceeds the rim elevation. The overflow from the node ground is similar to flow over a weir, so a weir equation is used as follows (as also mentioned in the help topic "Pressure (Surcharged) Flow and Overflow (Street Flooding)"): Where Q over is the overflow discharge, L w is the overflow length, C is the discharge coefficient and C=3.0 is used, H is the head over the overflow elevation. (b) Explicit dynamic solver (SWMM) When using the Explicit (SWMM) solver, it truncates (limits) the node water elevation at the ground (rim) level and overflow is determined by the total inflows minus the total outflows which is based on the enforced node elevation. Therefore, the SWMM solver will not allow the node water elevation to rise above the rim/ground and the Implicit solver has the node water elevation normally slightly above the ground. As a result, the SWMM solver normally calculates a little more overflow than the Implicit solver. Both dynamic solvers will handle concurrence of overflow and storage above the ground. Important Notes: For information on how overflow is handled with the surface storage option, please see the separate article below. The LPI Coefficient calculation option may need to be increased if overflow occurs due to backwater effects. See related article below. See Also Interpreting results when using manhole or catchbasin Surface Storage Zero overflow at manhole despite HGL above rim.

Wiki Page: Are Channels prismatic or non-prismatic?
Applies To Product(s): SewerGEMS, CivilStorm, StormCAD, SewerCAD Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX, 10.XX.XX.XX Area: Modeling Original Author: Jesse Dringoli, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem Is the Channel link element treated as prismatic or non-prismatic? If I have a cross section node at each end, will it keep a constant geometry for the channel or will it interpolate between the geometry of the cross sections? Solution The answer depends on which product or which numerical solver you are using, which is selected in the Calculation Options. There are four solvers: GVF Rational - available in StormCAD, CivilStorm and SewerGEMS GVF Convex - available in SewerCAD and SewerGEMS Implicit Dynamic - available in SewerGEMS and CivilStorm Explicit Dynamic (SWMM) - available in SewerGEMS and CivilStorm Currently, with the Implicit Dynamic numerical solver, channels are treated as non-prismatic; the geometry is interpolated over the length of the channel based on the upstream and downstream cross section elements' geometry. The exception is if there is only one cross section node connected to the channel, in which case it uses that. With the other solvers, channels are treated as prismatic, with the geometry being constant over the length of the link, based on the Start Node's cross section. If the Start Node is not a cross section, then the geometry of the link is based on the cross section Stop Node. So for instance if you're using the StormCAD or SewerCAD product, channels will always be treated as prismatic.

Forum Post: RE: Negative Pressures along Sewer Force Main for Transient Events in Hammer
Hello ktoeky, There is a common misconception that air valves will eliminate negative pressures everywhere in the network during a transient simulation. Air valve will only protect in the direct vicinity of the air valve, so pressure can still become negative elsewhere. This is also highly dependent on the topography of the network and the shape of the downsurge wave from the transient event. In some situations, you may need to use additional protective measures such as a hydropneumatic tank, and rely on air valves at key high points for local protection. See related wiki article: Pressure spikes occurring even when transient protection is used Additionally, if the air outflow orifice is not sized properly, air may be expelled too quickly, causing the adjacent water columns to slam together upon return of positive pressure conditions, which can cause very damaging high pressure surges. These can reflect and return as downsurge waves, causing further negative pressures along your network. See related wiki article: Transient pressure worse with air valve added If you have not done so already, I strongly recommend animating your profile paths in the Transient Results Viewer, tor best visualization of what is happening in your system. See video: Using Profile Animation to Better Understand Transient Results in HAMMER If this does not help, please provide a copy of your model for review, along with any steps necessary to reproduce: Sharing Hydraulic Model Files on the Haestad Forum

Wiki Page: Using Network Navigator
Applies To Product(s): WaterCAD, WaterGEMS, HAMMER Version(s): 10.00.xx.xx, 08.xx.xx.xx Area: Modeling Original Author: Shahzab Bukhari, Bentley Technical Support Group Overview Network Navigator is a useful tool with a number of built in queries that let a modeler see what is in a system and how everything is connected. This wiki will briefly discuss the major features and give a few examples of how this can be used in a hydraulic model. Network Navigator is available in the storm and sewer products as well, but some of the features may be a little different. While this wiki focuses on the Network Navigator features in water products, there will be some overlap with the storm and sewer products as well. To open the Network Navigator in CONNECT Edition, go to the Analysis tab and choose Navigator. In the V8i releases, click the View menu and select Network Navigator, or click the Network Navigator button on the View toolbar. Video Demonstration (Please visit the site to view this video) Using Network Navigator When you open Network Navigator, the following dialog will appear. Network Navigator provides access to a number of predefined queries. To access these, click the ">" button in the upper right of the dialog. Where it says "Current selection," there are features that allow you to display results from Network Navigator in the drawing. The most useful of this will be the "Select in Drawing" button, which will highlight the items in red and allow you to create a selection set based on the query, and the "Highlight" button, which simply highlights the elements from the query. Below you will find information on the different categories available in Network Navigator and some possible uses for the queries. Network Network queries include "All Elements" queries for each element type, allowing you to display all elements of any type in the Network Navigator. This will allow you to select all elements of a given type. This might be useful if you knew there are a number of pumps or tanks in the model, but you do not know precisely where they are located. Network Review Network Review Queries include the following: Nodes In Close Proximity - Identifies nodes within a specific tolerance. This can allow you to find nodes that you can merge nodes that are nearby together and reduce the size of your model. Crossing Pipes - Identifies pipes that intersect one another with no junction at the intersection. While this may be expected in your model, this may also indicate areas where you may need to split the pipes. Orphaned Nodes - Identifies nodes that are not connected to a pipe in the model. This could lead to connectivity issues if there are demands on the orphaned nodes. Orphaned Customer Meters - Customer meters are always associated with another element. This query can identify ones that are not so that the connection can be established. Orphaned SCADA Elements - SCADA Elements are associated with another element as well. This query can identify ones that are not so that the connection can be established. Orphaned Isolation Valves - Identifies isolation valves that are not connected to a pipe in the model. Like the customer meters and SCADA elements, these should always be associated with an element. Dead End Nodes - Identifies nodes that are only connected to one pipe. Dead End Junctions - Identifies junctions that are only connected to one pipe. Like the "Dead End Nodes" query, this can be used to identify possible areas that the model can be simplified. Pipe Split Candidates - Identifies nodes near a pipe that may be intended to be nodes along the pipe. The tolerance value can be set for the maximum distance from the pipe where the node should be considered as a pipe split candidate. Pipes Missing Nodes - Identifies which pipes are missing either one or both end nodes. The element may also be inactive. The model will not compute if a pipe is missing an end node. Duplicate Pipes - Identifies instances in the model where a pipe shares both end nodes with another pipe. This query can be useful because if the pipe is a duplicate, it will be difficult to see visually, since the pipes will overlay each other. Find Initially Isolated Elements - Locates elements that are not connected or cannot be reached from any boundary condition. This is a useful query for cases where you have disconnected demand nodes in a system. This query will allow you to display these in the drawing and allow you to find possible locations of closed or inactive elements, such as pipes, pumps, and valves, that might be the cause of the system disconnection. Network Trace Network Trace Queries include the following: Find Connected - Locates all the connected elements to the selected element in the network. Find Adjacent Nodes - Locates all node elements connected upstream or downstream of the selected element or elements. Find Adjacent Links - Locates all link elements connected upstream or downstream of the selected element or elements. Find Adjacent Start Nodes - Similar to the adjacent nodes option, but only looking at the start nodes. Find Adjacent Stop Nodes - Similar to the adjacent nodes option, but only looking at the start nodes. Find Associated Customer Meters - Locates the customer meter elements associated with the selected element or elements. Find Elements Associated with Customer Meters - Find Associated SCADA Elements - Locates the SCADA elements associated with the selected element or elements. Find Disconnected - Locates all the disconnected elements in the network by reporting all the elements not connected to the selected element. Customer Meters not connected to Nearest Link - Locates any customer meter that is not connected to the pipe that is closest to it. While this may be as designed, but in most cases customer meters will be connected to the nearly element. Laterals with Incorrect Orientation - Taps and laterals are used to connect customer meters to a pipe without splitting the pipe. Laterals should always be oriented from the customer meter to the pipe. This query identifies elements where this is not the case. Find Shortest Path - After selecting a Start Node and a Stop Node, this query reports the shortest path between the two nodes based upon the shortest number of edges. Trace Upstream - Locates all the elements connected upstream of the selected downstream element. Trace Downstream - Locates all the elements connected downstream of the selected upstream element. Path to Nearest Element of Specified Type - After identifying any element and a certain element type, like a tank, this question will find the path from the element you chose to the closest of the element type. This can be useful to find where the closest tank or pump to a given junction is. Path to Nearest Upstream Element of Specified Type - This is similar to the "Path to Nearest Element of Specified Type," but only looks at elements upstream of it. Path to Nearest Downstream Element of Specified Type - This is similar to the "Path to Nearest Element of Specified Type," but only looks at elements downstream of it. Isolate - Select an element that needs to be serviced. Run the query to locate the nearest isolation valves. In order to service the element, this will identify where shut off points and isolation valves are located. This can be used in conjunction with a Criticality analysis . Input Input Queries include a number of queries that allow you to find elements that satisfy various conditions based on input data specified for them. Input queries include: Duplicate Labels - Locates duplicate labels according to parameters set by the user. This can help with confusion related to elements in the model and assist with some tools, like ModelBuilder . Elements With SCADA Data - Locates elements that are have SCADA data associated with them. This will be useful with tools like SCADAConnect Simulator . Inactive Elements - Locates elements that have been set to Inactive. Customer Meters Associated with Inactive Elements - This query locates any customer meter element that is linked to an inactive element. You can then either make the customer meter inactive or link the customer meter to a different element. Pipes with Check Valves - Locates pipes that have the Has Check Valve? input attribute set to True. Controlled Elements - Locates all elements that are referenced in a control Action. Controlled Pumps - Locates all pumps that are referenced in a control Action. Controlled Valves - Locates all valves that are referenced in a control Action. Controlled Pipes - Locates all pipes that are referenced in a control Action. Controlling Elements - Locates all elements that are referenced in a control Condition. Initially Off Pumps - Locates all pumps whose Status (Initial) input attribute is set to Off. Initially Closed Control Valves - Locates all control valves whose Status (Initial) input attribute is set to Closed. Initially Inactive Control Valves - Locates all control valves whose Status (Initial) input attribute is set to Inactive. Initially Closed Pipes - Locates all pipes whose Status (Initial) input attribute is set to Closed. Fire Flow Nodes - Locates nodes included in the group of elements specified in the Fire Flow Alternative's Fire Flow Nodes field. Constituent Source Nodes - Locates all nodes whose Is Constituent Source? input attribute is set to True. Nodes with Non-Zero Initial Constituent Concentration - Locates all nodes whose Concentration (Initial) input attribute value is something other than zero. Tanks with Local Bulk Reaction Rate Coefficient - Locates all tanks whose Specify Local Bulk Rate? input attribute is set to True. Pipes with Local Reaction Rate Coefficients - Locates all pipes whose Specify Local Bulk Reaction Rate? input attribute is set to True. Pipes with Hyperlinks - Locates all pipes that have one or more associated hyperlinks. Nodes with Hyperlinks - Locates all nodes that have one or more associated hyperlinks. Elements with GIS-ID - Locates elements that have a GIS-ID associated with them. Elements with no GIS-ID - Locates elements that do not have a GIS-ID associated with them. Elements with Time Series Data - Locates elements that have Time Series Data associated with them. This is useful for results presentation and knowing which elements may have associated field data. Results Results Queries include a number of queries that allow you to find elements that satisfy various conditions based on output results calculated for them. Results queries include: Negative Pressures - Locates all nodes that have negative calculated pressure results. This will allow you to highlight and visual areas of negative pressure to investigate why this is occurring Pumps Operating Out of Range - Locates all pumps whose Pump Exceeds Operating Range? result attribute displays True. This will help identify pumps that may need to be resized. Pumps Cannot Deliver Flow or Head - Locates all pumps whose Cannot Deliver Flow or Head? result attribute displays True. This will help identify pumps that may need to be adjusted in the model or where a different pump definition is needed. Valves Cannot Deliver Flow or Head - Locates all valves whose Cannot Deliver Flow or Head? result attribute displays True. This will identify valves that may be having difficult finding a good solution. It may also be because the calculated valve status is Inactive. Reviewing these valves will assure that you have the correct results. Empty Tanks - Locates all tanks whose Status (Calculated) result attribute displays Empty. Full Tanks - Locates all tanks whose Status (Calculated) result attribute displays Full. Off Pumps - Locates all pumps whose Status (Calculated) result attribute displays Off. Closed Control Valves - Locates all control valves whose Status (Calculated) result attribute displays Closed. Inactive Control Valves - Locates all control valves whose Status (Calculated) result attribute displays Inactive. Closed Pipes - Locates all pipes whose Status (Calculated) result attribute displays Closed. Failed Fire Flow Constraints - Locates all elements whose Satisfies Fire Flow Constraints? result attribute displays False. This is used when running an automated fire flow . Self-cleaning pipes - This query locations pipes that are within certain criteria wherein they will be self-cleaning. You can choose from Shear Stress, Velocity, or Shear Stress and Velocity. You would include the numerical values for the criteria. Based on the results in the model, you will be able to highlight self-cleaning pipes in your model.

Forum Post: RE: SewerGEM - Modelling spill flow from one channel to another
Re: "The model still not predicting any spill from RW1 and RW2 even with a 500 yr return period storm event." Right, the HGL does not seem to be getting high enough to reach the overflow elevation for the weir link between the channels. As mentioned in my previous reply, there are a number of factors here. It is a matter of something being different between the model and the real system. It could be the rainfall runoff was higher or lasted longer in the real rain event vs. the simulated modified rational hydrograph. Re: "how do you check the instability of the model with Explicit solver?" In the calculation summary, a general indicator of stability is the Flow Continuity Error, which is the mass balance error (volume in, out, overflow, change). You can see a per-element view of this with the Hydraulic Reviewer. This isn't the only indication of stability though - another good tip is to open the Quick Graph tool and click on several link elements to view their hydrograph. During my analysis yesterday, this is how I checked general stability of the channel network upstream of CH-125. Re: "it is possible to copy and paste a network from one model to another?" One approach would be to start off the model with one section, resolve all data entry and stability issues, then add more elements and repeat. Another approach when looking at segments of a model separately is to use submodels. Meaning, analyze each segment in a separate model file, then import them into a single model using the submodel feature . Care must be taken to ensure the scenario and alternative structure stays the same between all submodels, and labels are unique.

Wiki Page: Expected workflows when keeping a model in sync with GIS
Product(s): WaterGEMS, HAMMER, SewerGEMS Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX and 10.XX.XX.XX Area: Modeling Problem What workflows should be used to keep a mode in sync with GIS? Suppose GIS data is imported in ModelBuilder, and then additional elements are created in standalone (without GIS-IDs). When trying to sync out the model data to a GIS shapefile the following message appears. "Pipes (Polyline) Warning: Unable to create Pipe "P-6" because it does not have any GIS-ID." What is common practice to include the new elements (that were created the standalone product) in this situation. Should unique identifiers be assigned to the new elements’ gis-id? Solution Update from GIS to model: Use ModelBuilder for an automated sync in from GIS to the model. The spatial join feature in ModelBuilder could be used to get GIS-ids onto elements already in the model. Update GIS based on model: Changes from the model to the GIS typically consist of corrections that need to be made to the GIS such as errors discovered while creating or calibrating the model. Those changes should be communicated to the GIS team to integrate into the GIS. Modelers typically do not have permissions to directly sync-out from the model to the GIS. Minor changes could be communicated by email ("correct this diameter"). For more extensive changes, the model element data can be customized in FlexTables and that data can be exported to Shapefiles . The ModelBuilder sync out feature provides a way to update source files with changes made . That data can then be reviewed and integrated into the GIS. Typically system designs and extensions created in the model would not be added to the GIS until they are constructed. The GIS team gets new as-built additions and adds them to the GIS which is when GIS-IDs are assigned. In some cases, the GIS team is lagging behind on these updates. Modelers may need to add recently constructed elements to the model that have not yet made it into the GIS. If it is known that a model will eventually be added to GIS then it is important to keep the model elements in-sync with the GIS.

Wiki Page: What Happens When the Water Level Exceeds the Top Elevation of an Open Channel?
Applies To Product(s): SewerGEMS, CivilStorm, SewerCAD Version(s): 08.11.xx.xx Area: Modeling Original Author: Scott Kampa, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem What happens when the water level (HGL) exceeds the top elevation of an open channel? Solution The solution depends on the numerical solver you are using. Solver: Implicit At cross section and channels, the program will extend the elevation at the element *vertically*, something like a wall going up from the either side of the cross section. Thus when the HGL gets to a level where overtopping would occur, the HGL will increase above the ground elevation. Because this extends up, basically to infinity, there are no overflows reported and the HGL can be above the ground surface. Note that no overflow (lost flow) occurs in this case. Overflows can occur at manholes, catch basins, wet wells, and ponds, though. The topic on this subject in the Help is saying that if the HGL is above the ground elevation at a cross section, overflows will not occur. If the channel ends at a manhole though, overflow can occur there. You will still get a user notification at a cross section stating that the cross section is overtopping (it will also be evident in profiles). Solver: Explicit (SWMM) With the SWMM solver, the "height" field in the cross section field is obeyed; if the channel depth exceeds the "height", overflow will occur. Solver: GVF-Rational (StormCAD) or GVF-Convex (SewerCAD) Note that for StormCAD, cross sections are essentially treated as manholes. The hydraulic grade line will reset to the ground elevation at a cross section or manhole when the HGL is above the ground surface elevation at that node. See Also Why is the HGL reset to the rim elevation for flooded structures?

Wiki Page: Using LoadBuilder to assign Customer Meters to the nearest pipe using taps and laterals
Product(s): WaterGEMS, WaterCAD Version(s): 10.xx.xx.xx Area: Modeling Introduction In earlier versions of WaterGEMS and WaterCAD, LoadBuilder could be used to assign Customer Meter elements to the nearest junction. With the introduction of taps and laterals in the CONNECT Edition release of WaterGEMS and WaterCAD, new tap and lateral elements, can be used to assign Customer Meters directly to the pipe. The previous workflow assigning the Customer Meters to nodes is still valid. However, LoadBuilder will not create laterals when assigning the Customer Meter to the nearest node, though the lateral can be added manually or through ModelBuilder if that is desired. The steps to assign a Customer Meter to a node is discussed in the link above. Below are the steps to assign to the Nearest Pipe using Taps and Laterals. Note: as of version 10.00.00.50, lateral link elements do not count toward your pipe limit. Benefits of using Taps and Laterals with Customer Elements 1) Potential reduction in the number of pipes in your model, which can have licensing benefits. A tap node is only associated with a pipe (does not split it), so, one pipe could be used instead of having to split it with a junction, yielding two pipes. 2) Better match with a GIS. Including laterals allows you to have a one one-to-one match with your GIS, both visually as well as tracking of these components alongside 3) Better accurate of demands distribution. When using taps and laterals, the customer meter demands can be distributed to the end nodes based on the position of the tap. There are options in the Loadbuilder wizard when importing and creating taps and laterals. 4) Better calculation performance compared to the use of explicit pipe elements as laterals. Hydraulics are not calculated in the lateral (pressure, velocity, headloss, etc) so a performance increase can be seen compared to the use of pipes. Steps to Accomplish These steps assume the Customer Meters are already present in the model. If you have not added them yet, you can do so manually or using ModelBuilder . This layout shows three Customer Meters that are currently unassigned to a hydraulic element. First, we will consider a case where the Customer Meter is assigned to the nearest node. Assign Customer Meter to nearest pipe Open LoadBuilder by going to the Tools tab. Click the New button in the upper left of the dialog to create a new connection. Select the Customer Meter Load Data option on the left side of the dialog. Since we are assigning the customer meter to the nearest pipe, select that option from the selections on the right, then click Next. In the next screen, you will select the Pipe Layer, Node Layer, and Customer Meter Layer. This is basically telling the program which elements the Customer Meter may be associated with. Next to the Pipe Layer option, click the ellipsis ("...") button, which will open the "Select a Layer" dialog shown above. For this case, we will choose "Pipe\All Elements," which means that all active pipes will be considered. Note: If a node is inactive, the Customer Meter cannot be assigned to that node. Only elements active through Active Topology will be considered for associated elements. In addition to selecting the Pipe Layer, you will also need to select the Load Assignment. The default setting is Closest Node, but you can also choose to weight the demand between the end nodes of the pipe, distribute the demand equally between the end nodes, or apply the demand to the farthest node. Next, click the ellipsis (...) button next to Node Layer. All node types that can have a demand applied to them are available. In this case we will choose "Junctions\All Elements". Finally, do the same thing for the Customer Meter elements. You also have the option to exclude customer meters that already have an associated element, but may not have a lateral or tap. To do this, click the "Exclude unconnected Customer Meters that already have an Associated Element." Lastly, you will want to select the option "Create taps and laterals for Customer Meters that are not connected." This will assure that the necessary elements are created to correctly associate the Customer Meters to the pipes via a tap and lateral. Click Next and see the results that LoadBuilder has calculated. Notice in the screenshot below that two of the Customer Meters are assigned to one pipe. It is possible to have more than one customer meter assigned to an individual element. Lastly, you will need to create a label for the LoadBuilder connection. You will also need to either update an existing Demand Alternative or opt to create a new alternative. Click Finish and the LoadBuilder will assign the Customer Meter to the nearest pipe, as well as create the taps and laterals to complete the connection. Reassigning taps to new pipe During the process of analyzing a model, you may need to associate an existing Customer Meter to a different pipe. If that case arises, you can use the following workflow. First, you will need to drag and drop the Tap element to the pipe that the Customer Meter should be associated with. In the screenshot below, the tap has been moved from pipe P-20 to pipe P-260. Notice the dashed line that is connected to the tap element and P-20. This means that the tap is still associate with P-20. In order to associate the tap with the correct pipe you can right-click on the tap element and choose Attach. If there are multiple taps that need to be reassigned after moving them, you there a batch tool that will do this as well. Go to the Tools tab. In the Tools section, select More > Assign Taps to Links. This tool is used to batch assign taps to pipes when there is no current association. For instance, if you manually added the customer meters, taps, and laterals, there may be no true association between the elements. The Assign Taps to Links tool will assign this. However, it can also be used to reassociate taps that are currently associated to a different pipe. To apply this, select the option "Also process taps that already have an associated link" from the Options section of the Assign Taps to Links tool. When you click OK, the tap will be reassigned to the new pipe. The tap is now associated with a new pipe. However, the customer meter is still assigned to the old pipe. You can change the association manually in the Customer Meter properties. You can also use LoadBuilder to update the association. Using LoadBuilder, you can run the existing connection. When you are on the screen where you assign the pipe, node, and customer meter layers, uncheck the box for "Exclude unconnected Customer Meters that already have a valid Associated Element." Click Next and complete the LoadBuilder process. Once you are completed, you should see the associated pipe for the Customer Meter is the same one that the tap is connected to. A note on Licensing As of the version 10.00.00.50, lateral link elements do NOT count toward your total number of pipes/links, (checked against the number of available pipes in your license .)
