2012-02-15 update:
2012-01-26 update:
- Pressure-driven simulation update (improved convergence...)
2012-01-19 updates:
- Includes more (Performance related) run-time data
- Corrected
some bugs
2011-12-12 updates:
- New pipe catalogue with commercial diameters
- Corrected
some bugs related with pipe-sizing
- Update optimization module
- Update pressure-driven simulation module
- Update user-interface (visualization of pressure-driven
results)
How to use:
- Generate a new automatic model;
- Import a pipe catalogue (use the example catalogue) and
customize it;
- Assign
pipe type & class to pipes (Select all pipes
<CTR+A>, Right
Click, click "Selected Pipes" + "Pipe Type ..." on popup
menu);
- Load water demand;
- Run pipe sizing.
- Save Project (.net, not EPANET 2.0 compatible) or export
network (.inp, can be open in EPANET 2.0)
