Copy Initial Conditions Dialog Box

This tool allows you to copy initial conditions from a specified time step (after an Initial Conditions computation has been run) to user-specified initial condition fields for some or all of the elements in the model. The following intial conditions are applied to the selected elements:

  • Discharge Coefficient (FCV, GPV, PRV, PSV)
  • Valve Status (FCV, GPV, PBV, PRV, PSV, TCV)
  • Valve Flow (FCV, GPV, PBV, TCV)
  • Headloss (GPV, PBV, TCV)
  • Gas Volume (Hydropneumatic Tank)
  • Pressure (Junction)
  • Demand (Junction)
  • Nominal Flow (Variable Speed Pump Battery, Pump)
  • Nominal Pressure (Variable Speed Pump Battery, Pump)
  • Relative Speed (Variable Speed Pump Battery, Pump)
  • Number of Running Lag Pumps (Variable Speed Pump Battery)
  • Pump Status (Variable Speed Pump Battery, Pump)
  • Elevation (Surge Tank, Tank)
  • Rated Flow (Turbine)
  • Rated Pressure (Turbine)
  • Pipe Flow (Pipe)
  • Start HGL (Pipe)
  • Stop HGL (Pipe)
  • Friction Coefficient (Pipe) (only if friction method is Darcy Weisbach)

The dialog consists of the following controls:

Time—Allows you to choose the time step. The values at this time step will be used as the initial conditions for the HAMMER transient calculations.

All—When this button is selected, initial conditions will be applied to all elements in the model.

Selection—When this button is selected, initial conditions will be applied only to elements that are currently selected in the drawing pane.

Selection Set—When this button is selected, initial conditions will be applied only to the elements contained within the specified selection set.
