Bentley HAMMER CONNECT Edition Help

Analysis Menu

The Analysis menu contains the following commands:

Scenarios Opens the Scenario Manager, which allows you to create, view, and manage project scenarios.
Alternatives Opens the Alternative Manager, which allows you to create, view, and manage alternatives.
Calculation Options Opens the Calculation Options Manager, which allows you to create, view, and manage calculation settings for the project.
Post Calculation Processor Opens the Post Calculation Processor dialog.
Totalizing Flow Meters Opens the Totalizing Flow Meters manager where you can create new meters.
Hydrant Flow Curves Opens the Hydrant Flow Curves dialog box, which allows you to view, edit, and create hydrant flow definitions.
System Head Curves Opens the System Head Curves manager.
Transient Results Viewer Opens the transient results viewer dialog.
Transient Time Step Options Opens the Transient Time Step Options dialog.
Transient Thematic Viewer Opens the Transient Thematic Viewer dialog.
Energy Costs Opens the Scenario Energy Cost Manager, where you can view and compute energy costs.
Darwin Calibrator Opens the Darwin Calibrator where you can create, edit, and run calibration studies.
Darwin Designer Opens the Darwin Designer where you can create, edit, and run designer studies and design runs.
Darwin Scheduler Opens the Darwin Scheduler where you can create, edit, and run scheduler studies and design runs.
Criticality Opens the Segmentation and Criticality Manager where you can create new criticality scenarios.
Pressure Zone Opens the Pressure Zone manager where you can identify elements that are located in a pressure zone based on the boundaries of the zone.
Time Browser Opens the Time Browser dialog box, where you can manipulate the currently displayed time step and animate the drawing pane.
Fire Flow Results Browser Opens the Fire Flow Results Browser, which allows you to quickly jump to fire flow nodes and display the results of fire flow analysis at the highlighted node.
Flushing Results Browser Opens the Flushing Results Browser, allowing you to display the results of the flushing analysis at various locations.
Calculation Summary Opens the Calculation Summary to view results.
Transient Calculation Summary Opens the Transient Calculation Summary to view results of transient calculations.
User Notifications Opens User Notifications allowing you to view warnings and errors uncovered by the validation process.
Patterns Opens the Pattern Manager where you can create and edit diurnal loading patterns for use with extended period simulations.
Pattern Setups Opens the Pattern Setup Manager where you can associate diurnal patterns with the appropriate unit sanitary loads for a given scenario.
Validate Runs a diagnostic check on the network data to alert you to possible problems that may be encountered during calculation. This is the manual validation command, and it checks for input data errors. It differs in this respect from the automatic validation that HAMMER CONNECT runs when the compute command is initiated, which checks for network connectivity errors as well as many other things beyond what the manual validation checks.
Compute Initial Conditions Allows you to establish the initial conditions for the transient simulation
Compute Calculates the network. Prior to calculating, an automatic validation routine is triggered, which checks the model for network connectivity errors and performs other validation.
Always Compute Initial Conditions When this option is toggled on, initial conditions will always be computed when a Compute command is initiated.
