Create profile plot

sisHYD stores the profile plots permanently and enables a comprehensive configuration of the diagrams ("Profile plot").

Profile plots work through the network with previous recorded paths (Create Profile path). Network paths that have been recorded once are used for as many diagrams as required.

Introduction to use – sisHYD's Profile plots can be made up of as many partial paths connected to each other as required. For the usual application exactly one path from a starting to a target node (often from the feed point to a consumer) is evaluated in the diagram.

To store the desired network path:

Start the command Create Profile Path.
Select the desired starting node in the network representation with the mouse.
Select the desired goal node from the network sketch with the mouse. sisHYD determines the path to the target node and highlights all objects along the path.
Assign a name for the path and press the button ">> Create >>".
- If "on critical path extend the option" is selected, extends sisHYD the path during the analysis from the node selected last to the critical node of the adjusted calculation result. This option permits certain dynamics.
The input profile path can be edited with the dialog mask Selections. The selection itself only contains the selected supporting nodes of the profile path.

To create a profile plot for the stored network path:

Open the profile plot dialog using "File > Tools > Profile Plot".
Create a new diagram using "Context menu > New".
Move the path that has just been created from the list "Connecting paths" into the list "Paths in the diagram", by clicking the "move" button.
Create the diagram by clicking on the "Create diagram" button.
10.sisHYD opens the design view with the diagram and fits the diagram in into this view.
Leave the "Profile Plot" dialog by clicking on the OK button, so that the selected path and if necessary further settings are stored.
