Forum Post: RE: Velocidades bajas
Carolina, (English) From the information you provided, it seems that the low velocities are due to low demands, and relatively large diameters. You may also want to make sure valves have the correct status as they could be limiting flow. If you are expecting higher velocities, then it would help if we could take a look at the model. https://communities.bentley.com/help/w/be_communities_help/32255/sharing-hydraulic-model-files-on-the-haestad-forum (Spanish - Google Translator) Según la información que proporcionó, parece que las bajas velocidades se deben a demandas bajas y diámetros relativamente grandes. También es posible que desee asegurarse de que las válvulas tengan el estado correcto ya que podrían limitar el flujo.

Forum Post: RE: User Notification: Message ID- 51008
Hello guys, So today I created a new model and everything seems to be working. When I first opened up SewerCAD, I thought I could just import the Pipe Network that I created in Civil3D. Turns out, when I imported it, CAD didn't see it as a Pipe Network and just saw it as line work. Is there a certain process that would make importing a network from Civil3D to SewerCAD easier (i.e., not having to create the same network twice)?

Wiki Page: ProjectWise Integration
Applies To Product(s): WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS, CivilStorm, StormCAD, PondPack, SewerCAD, HAMMER, WaterCAD, CulvertMaster, FlowMaster Version(s): 08.11.02.XX + Original Author: Shahzab Bukhari, Bentley Technical Support Group Overview This TechNote should help you understand how the ProjectWise integration works and what you need to do in order to integrate ProjectWise with the Hydraulics and Hydrology products. What is ProjectWise? ProjectWise is a suite of software from Bentley Systems aimed at helping manage, find, and share CAD and geospatial content, project data, and documents. Enabling ProjectWise Integration ProjectWise integration must be enabled before the Haestad product can directly interact with ProjectWise. Note: If you are using the 32-bit version of ProjectWise, you will need to use the 32-bit version of the Haestad product. You cannot use the 64-bit version of the Haestad product with the 32-bit version of ProjectWise. As of February, 2018, CulvertMaster, FlowMaster and PondPack do not yet support the CONNECT Edition of ProjectWise. See: ProjectWise CONNECT Edition Compatibility Browse to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\(product name)\10\ (or "8" for V8i) and open ProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml in text editor. Next, f ind the line that sets the PWDIR variable ( PWDIR="") and change it so that it refers to the directory where a supported version of the ProjectWise Explorer is installed, such as PWDIR="C:\Program Files (X86)\Bentley\ProjectWise\". If you have a 64-bit operating system, also set PWDIR64 to the path for ProjectWise, which is typically C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise For the MicroStation platform, you must enable the ProjectWise iDesktop integration for Microstation when installing the ProjectWise Explorer client software. You can also Change the ProjectWise Explorer installation to enable this from the Windows Control Panel. The ArcGIS platform will automatically detect an installed ProjectWise Explorer. The AutoCAD platform does not currently support ProjectWise integration. What is Captive Environment? The term captive environment refers to the state of integration when the user cannot save documents to or open documents from the local file system. They are “captive” or forced to work in the ProjectWise environment. Captive Environment Setup for Users Open ProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml in text editor (see above for the location). Locate the following string below on this text file and change UseCaptiveEnvironment =“true” and save it. It will read: *** Make sure to close out of Projectwise and the hydraulics and hydrology programs to see this change. Captive Environment Setup for Administrators Open ProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml in text editor. It’s the same file we used for the program's integration with ProjectWise and it is located on your local drive C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise\ ProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml Locate the following string below on this text file and change UseCaptiveEnvironment =“true” and save it *** Make sure to close out of Projectwise and the hydraulics and hydrology program to see this change. Spatial Reference System (SRS) • The SRS is a standard textual name for a coordinate system or a projection, designated by various national and international standards bodies • The primary use of the project's SRS is to create correct spatial locations when a managing a project in the ProjectWise Integration Server's spatial management system. • The SRS name comes from the internal list of spatial reference systems that ProjectWise Spatial maintains on the ProjectWise server and is also known as the "key name." To determine the SRS key name, the administrator should browse the coordinate system dictionary in the ProjectWise administrator tool (under the Coordinate Systems node of the datasource), and add the desired coordinate system to the datasource. For example, the key name for an SRS for latitude/longitude is LL84, and the key name for the Maryland State Plane NAD 83 Feet SRS is MD83F. Single Sign-on and Auto-login support · Single Windows login allow you to login each time you open Microstation or any other platform · Auto-login gives you option to remember the data source next time you log into this application Document creation wizards No Wizard icon — Selecting No Wizard icon and clicking Set as Default means that the standard document creation dialog will open instead of the Advanced Document Creation Wizard. So when No Wizard is set, the Create Document dialog opens when you select Document > New > Document, and the Copy Document dialog opens when you select Document > Copy To. Also, clicking OK in the Create Multiple dialog will automatically create the specified number of documents (with no files attached), and copying or moving documents in ProjectWise Explorer using the drag and drop method will automatically perform the copy or move. Selecting No Wizard here also ensures that if you attempt to create a new document in an integrated application, the application will open whatever ProjectWise dialog it normally uses to create new ProjectWise documents. Advanced Wizard icon — Selecting Advanced Wizard and clicking Set as Default means that the Advanced Document Creation Wizard will be used when creating documents.

Forum Post: RE: Velocidades bajas
Estimada Carolina Efectivamente cuando uno tiene bajas velocidades en una red se debe fundamentalmente a que tienes poca demanda y quiza una red muy mallada y por tanto con caudales muy repartidos, puedes verificar para cada tuberia el caudal circulante y por tanto dividiendo por la seccion obtendras la velocida, recuerda que en una red lo habitual es que la velocidad este dentro del rando 0.5 m/s y 2.5 m/s, dependiendo del material y de la norma que utilices pero piensa que con 0.5 m/s en una tuberia de 200 m el caudal es 15.7 l/s multiplicando por 3600s/h y 24 horas tendrias un volumen diario circulando de 1,356,480 l/dia, con una dotacion de 200 l/hab/dia y suponiendo un factor punta de 2.4 tendrias conectados a ese tubo 2,826 personas, mira a ver si en realidad tienes menos, la velocidad sera inferior a 0.5 m/s que ya es un valor limite, por el otro lado el maximo de consumidores conectados a ese tubo deberian ser 14,130 para no superar 2.5 m/s. Si no puedes cambiar diametros lo que si puedes es intentar evaluar la seccion real actual, porque una cosa es el diametro nominal de la tuberia cuando se compra y otro es el real una vez en servicio. Te recomiendo que veas la posibilidad de hacer una calibracion de tu modelo con datos reales de campo para poder tener una idea real de cuales son los diametros de tu red existente.

Forum Post: RE: Triple Air Valve
You can see the air pocket volume changing in the animation of the transient results viewer, but it is up to you to decide if the resulting minimum and maximum pressures resulting from the event are within the limits of the pipes, or if they exceed the specifications and would be at risk for becoming damaged.

Forum Post: RE: Manhole Headloss HEC-22 3rd Edition
Hello Luis, The headloss calculated by the chosen method is indeed passed to the SWMM engine and used during the SWMM calculations. The headloss through the structure can change as the flow changes, according to the chosen method. This can have an impact on the the upstream flow, for example if the headloss causes the water depth to "back up" (act as a tailwater). The impact would be similar to the impact of increasing pipe roughness, except the loss is concentrated at the structure (the drop in HGL is between the incoming and outgoing side of the structure) instead of across the pipe length. Here is an article explaining the supported Structure Loss Methods for each solver, for each version of the software: Structure Loss methods supported by each solver The Explicit (SWMM) solver in the CONNECT Edition of SewerGEMS supports the Absolute, Standard and HEC-22 3rd edition. This article explains how Bentley has enhanced the SWMM solver to enable such functionality as the HEC-22 3rd edition structure losses: EPA SWMM solver versions used by SewerGEMS and CivilStorm

(English) One other point to consider: The pipes may have large diameters to provide adequate fire protection. During a fire event, the flow through the pipes could be significantly higher, requiring the large diameters. (Spanish) Otro punto a considerar: Las tuberías pueden tener diámetros grandes para proporcionar una protección contra incendios adecuada. Durante un evento de incendio, el flujo a través de las tuberías podría ser significativamente mayor, requiriendo diámetros grandes.

Wiki Page: Using Downstream Trace and Digital Terrain Models
Product(s): StormCAD, SewerGEMS, CivilStorm, SewerCAD Version(s): V8i SELECTseries 4 (08.11.04.54) and later Area: Modeling Background The ability to attach Digital Terrain Models and the Downstream Trace tool were introduced with the release of SELECTseries 4 ( available in version 08.11.04.54 and later). NOTE : Terrain Models are currently supported in the stand-alone and MicroStation platforms only. It is not supported in AutoCAD integrated platform.,as this feature requires utilization of platform specific components, in which case platform compatibility can vary. In case of terrain models, overlaying of a terrain model involves the use of AutoCAD components, which are currently not supported. We are looking into possibility of performing the work required to incorporate Terrain Models into AutoCAD, sometime in the future. For now you may continue using stand-alone or Microstation integrated platform for importing the terrain models and then open that model in AtutoCAD integrated platform. Starting with the release of CONNECT Edition (version 10.00.00.40 and later) the contours can be displayed and the catchment delineation tool was added. The following three digital terrain model source types can be used. Bentley DTM created by: - InRoads (.dtm) - GEOPAK (.tin) - MX (.fil) Bentley DGN terrain models LandXML terrain models Some uses of digital terrain models are: Dynamic Ground Elevation Updates (Moving nodes adjusts the elevations) Downstream Trace (Find natural water path) Catchment Delineation You can use terrain modeling and terrain modeling tools to automate elevation allocation. You can conveniently trace and display the surface water flow direction across any terrain, ensuring proper location of inlets and other drainage infrastructure. Note that the primary use case for Terrain Models is for new models where you are laying out or importing new elements, which will then be assigned elevations based on the terrain model overlay. If you have existing elements in the model that you wish to assign elevations to, use the Terrain Extractor (Trex) tool instead. To use the Terrain Model tool, go to View > Terrain Models. The following dialogue box will pop up. Click on the new button to import a terrain model. The dialogue box below will appear to select the terrain model source. Note that there is a boundary line color, also, as a boundary is drawn around the terrain model area. You can have several terrain models in a project, but only one can be active at a time. Here is an example of a terrain model's contours and boundary lines. If you look at the MH-10 properties, you will see the ground elevation of 239.88. If you move MH-10, the ground elevation will get updated by the elevations in the terrain model because the "Update Ground Elevation" is set to True. What if I also have GPS survey elevations for some elements? In some cases you may have survey elevation readings with higher accuracy, which should be protected from Trex updates. If you're using the Terrain Model feature instead of Trex , then you would set the node field "Update Ground Elevation from Terrain Model?" to "false" for nodes that have higher accuracy survey/GPS elevations. That way, the elevations for those nodes will keep the higher accuracy values (that you would populate manually from the survey readings, or from a ModelBuilder import) and the terrain model contour will not override. Downstream Trace Another feature is the Downstream Trace (also known as water drop trace). You can pick points within the terrain model and it will trace downstream to the lowest point. You will get the following dialogue box. You will need to put in the value for the option if you want to ignore any depressions less than a certain dimension. After you set the value, you can select a point in the model within the terrain boundary and the software will draw the trace lines. Note : currently (as of 10.00.00.40) the downstream trace feature will not display the length or slope of the trace line. Enhancement 677454 was filed for the ability to do this in a future release. In the meantime if you need to see the length and slope for purposes of determining the time of concentration (Tc), you can trace over the line with a pipe, holding down the CTRL key to add bends, then look at the scaled length of that pipe. Elevations could be added to the end nodes to check the pipe's slope. Using Terrain Models to enable automated Design to consider cover along the pipe length Starting with V8i SELECTseries 5 of the Storm and Sewer products, i f you have an active Terrain Model, ground elevations from that model may be used during a Design run to consider cover along the pipe's length. If you want to use this option check "Consider Cover Along Pipe Length?" as shown below. See Also Consuming ContextCapture production files within your hydraulic model

Forum Post: RE: User Notification: Message ID- 51008
Hello James, Did you apply the dxf file as background layer in SewerCAD, in that case it will be seen only as backdrop image used for reference in laying out elements. However you can import the dxf file using Modelbuilder in SewerCAD which will create the pipe network for you and avoid rework. Below technote explains how to import dxf file using Modelbuilder step by step, please go through it. Importing an AutoCAD or MicroStation CAD file using ModelBuilder Please note that you can also import Landxml file in SewerCAD through File>Import.

Wiki Page: Error executing query, when using trace upstream/downstream query in Navigator
Product(s): SewerCAD, SewerGEMS, CivilStorm Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX, 10.XX.XX.XX Area: Layout and Data Input Problem When using trace upstream/downstream query in Navigator, following error is seen. Solution This error is seen when upstream/downstream network is disconnected due to disconnected nodes in network or due to inactive elements in between the network like seen below (blue color elements). If you validate the model to check for errors it will direct you to those elements in network due to which disconnection of network is seen. After connecting these disconnected nodes to the network or making these intermediate elements active, the error should be gone. See Also Using Network Navigator

Wiki Page: Why doesn't changing the valve diameter for a TCV using a discharge coefficient effect the pressure loss?
Product(s): WaterGEMS, WaterCAD, Hammer Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX, 10.XX.XX.XX Area: Modeling Problem Why doesn't changing the valve diameter for a TCV using a discharge coefficient effect the pressure loss? Solution The reason for this is when you are using a discharge coefficient for a valve the diameter property is really just there for reference purposes, so you know how large the valve is. The diameter of the valve is taken into account via the discharge coefficient value. See Also Why don't I see a pressure loss in downstream junctions after my TCV?
