Tools for network construction

Note: Before you begin with the interactive construction of the network, it is best to have completed the data input of pipe classes, pump and valve types and/or to load these data into the system using a standard project. See "Import > sisHYD archives" or importing piping class catalogs from Microsoft Excel.

General Notes

The instruction for network construction permits a flexible control to their operation way over the allocation function adjustments. Some these adjustments repetitive in the different creating commands are used and are first described here.

Function Adjustments

The instruction for network construction permits a flexible control to their operation way over the allocation function adjustments. Some these adjustments repetitive in the different creating commands are used and are first described here.

  • Open dialog – Display the settings dialog box for created network objects.
  • Mode – Determines like the connection nodes to be treated to be supposed:
    • Line divide – The most flexible adjustment for the command. It causes, which nodes can be selected, or new nodes are created. With click on a line, this is isolated in the met place, a new node is inserted and this node as starting nodes of the item is used.
    • If necessary, create nodes – If the first mouse click does not meet a node, a new node is produced.
      • The same is valid for the selection/creation of the end node. Either a node from the diagram is selected or a new node is created.
    • Available nodes – Required that nodes are available already. The network item can be attached only to available nodes.
  • Update pipe lengths – Calculates the length of the pipes from the 3D process of the drawing, concerned by the instruction.
  • Node | Servicer – Permits the proposal of an object name in place of the automatic generation. This option is typically available whenever the name of several created objects is used.
    Note: If suggested name should be already assigned, generate and use sisHYD a unique name.
  • Forbid multiple connections – With this option it can be prevented that several objects of same type at a node are attached. The command then forbids the selection of the network node and displays the reason in the tool tip.

Data record collecting mains

During the construction of new objects an existing data record of the same type serves as collecting main. sisHYD always uses the data record displayed last in the actual data dialog. If the data record should be deleted meanwhile, the first best data record of the object type is used.

From the collecting main practically all information, those will be contributed not over the construction undertaken. From the construction length, linkage with at the beginning of and end nodes always results.

  • Creation of items – The creation of network items permits it necessary nodes of instructs with create to let and if necessary even lines to divide. During the pipe division a node at the necessary network positions is produced.
