"SOME
SPECIAL FEATURES"
(in
brief)
|
|
- Automatic
and accurate representation of demands
by population density without increasing
drawing size, automatically "Compare"
the actual result differences between
scenarios, "Mix & Match"
any Units, etc.
- Purchase
only the Task Level You Actually Need
(Static, Dynamic or Quality, etc.)
- Powerful,
Robust & Fast for Pro Modelers - Intuitive
& Easy for occasional users.
- Highly
manageable data kept entirely within the
drawing, not in external files
- Exchange
any Data, Templates or Settings between
hydraulic
models
- Mix
& Match Units, Convert or Work in
ANY units you wish
- Automatically
'Weight' node demands to nearby population
density for greater accuracy
- Uses
the industry-proven EPANET
Math Engine for accurate analysis
- "Real
Time Results"
Program
runs efficiently (fast) enough to make
results viewable in real time for most
hydraulic models.
(Another "special touch" that
is feasible only because the basic program
structure is built using the very highest
of the Authorized AutoCAD
Developer standards).

3.
"Weighting"
Demands to Actual Residential Density for Accuracy
You
do not need to choose between the the accuracy of
accurate true demand allocation for every residence
(along with it's very large model size) & the
the much smaller model size of the often used "Averaged"
or "Guesstimated" demand allocations.
You can have both!! - accurate "real"
demand allocation & a minimum model size.
This
"Weighting" process automatically produces
extremely true - to - reality demand allocation
at the pipe intersection nodes without increasing
model size.
Note:
Our "Compare
Scenarios" Tests establish that, for most models,
this "Weighting Demands to Intersection Nodes
by Population Density" Process usually corrects
96-99 % of the inaccuracy of Placing individual
Outlets at every residence into a very large model
- with NO increase in drawing / model size.

4.
"AutoSize"
Pipes
Automatically
re-size pipes based on the Designer's Criteria for
Allowable Velocities, Flow per Pipe Size or Group,
Cost per unit of length etc. - then, retain the
Scenarios for future recall & manual fine tuning.
Then, quickly "Compare" Scenarios to examine
the actual differences, or improvement.

Program
Structure "ALL the Way"
(Built
to the Very Highest of the AutoCAD* Program Development
Standards)
- General
:
HydrauliCAD
utilizes the power & solidity of AutoCAD's
ARX & C++.Net programming to construct the
most reliable & flexible program possible.
- All
Hydraulic Data is Stored Within the Drawing File:
No
external files
are created, or needed to run the models.
All HydrauliCAD data is retained within the AutoCAD
drawing itself.
HydrauliCAD Objects & Data can be viewed &
accessed without needing HydrauliCAD.
