If some body can do other test for this small example (to confirm if there is bugs in the model builder); once you import the pressure junction by model builder just connect them with pressure pipe and...

I have a fairly complex Interconnected Pond Model with multiple ICPM nodes all converging to a single pond node with an outfall. There are SCS subareas to all of the pond nodes, with calculated Tc for...

Currently, changes made to Chart Options settings in places other than graphing (like profiles and system head curve) are not saved. This is the expected behavior in the current implementation of the...

Thanks Scott,Understood what you explained and thank you, but regardless of calculation, the issue is in model builder when you map the Elevation with the excel elevation; it does taken and shown in...

Gabriela,You can and should only change the things that differs from the ground (actual system). If a pump is ON in the system and you are modeling it as OFF then your hydraulic model is not a true...

You need to have a 'conduit' between the ponds if you want to model the hydrograph routing that you describe. On the conduit you can set a 'routing method' (e.g. Modified Puls). The drawback is that...

The pressure pipe invert can't be different to the node invert. That's why you can't specify a different value. It's different to a gravity pipe which can enter a manhole at a higher elevation. I guess...

You can set the calculation option 'Is EPS Snapshot' to TRUE, then change the 'Start Time' to the time you want to analyze. WaterCAD will then use the appropriate demands, patterns and controls for...

For the control to turn the pump on after 8 PM and before 2, you'll need to use the OR operator. Or, consider adding an ELSE to the other control:If Clock Time >= 2 PM AND Clock Time <= 8 PM...

I concur - make the tank and adjacent pipe inactive in the scenario where the tank is offline.
