12 NUT 6.3 Slide 12 of 41 Commands Toolbar Add selected component Add selected pipe Add selection Individual selection Group select Connect Delete Mirror in x-axis Mirror in y-axis Rotate Cut pipe Waypoint Find by type View Text Undo Redo

13 NUT 6.3 Slide 13 of 41 Zoom in Zoom out Pan Selection box to window Overview in box Overview in window Zoom Toolbar The zoom functions apply to network diagrams and re-scale Component symbols

14 NUT 6.3 Slide 14 of 41 Text Options There are 3 types of text: node text component text network text Invoked by selecting from the toolbar Component text font Component text on/off Node text font Node text on/off Network text font Network text on/off Add network text Move text Renumber

15 NUT 6.3 Slide 15 of 41 Text Options Text can be associated to the nearest component or super-component The options can be accessed by ‘alternate’ clicking on the network schematic

16 NUT 6.3 Slide 16 of 41 Configuration Files Network configuration settings can be defined Allowing changes to colours, text and options These can be stored as group or individual preferences

17 NUT 6.3 Slide 17 of 41 Component Data Entry Allows selection of different friction options ( NB. Steady State filter set) Collection of components to update Subform expanded Information about the specific data item

18 NUT 6.3 Slide 18 of 41 Copy Data Any data item that has a tick is copied Copy Method :

19 NUT 6.3 Slide 19 of 41 Component Data Required Upstream pressure source total pressure = 1.5 bar Discrete loss area = 7.85x10 -3 m 2 forward loss coefficient = 50 reverse loss coefficient = 50 Pipe length = 100 m friction option 1 roughness = 0.025 mm diameter = 0.1 m Orifice pipe diameter = 0.1 m orifice diameter = 0.05 m Downstream pressure source total pressure = 1 bar

20 NUT 6.3 Slide 20 of 41 Component Collection Criteria

21 NUT 6.3 Slide 21 of 41 Node Data Entry Specify collection of nodes Add specfic node number to list Table of nodal data

22 NUT 6.3 Slide 22 of 41 Node Collection Criteria

23 NUT 6.3 Slide 23 of 41 Node Data Required Elevations shown All nodes are ‘wet’ No nodes have the autovap model

24 NUT 6.3 Slide 24 of 41 General Data Same sheet as for component data entry Data required: fluid type Water (SS) Hydrol 46 (FS) ambient temperature = 20 o C atmospheric pressure = 1 bar Start

25 NUT 6.3 Slide 25 of 41 Analyse Proceed with analysis? Analysis progress Analysis completed Success? View Errors if No View warnings if Yes

26 NUT 6.3 Slide 26 of 41 Errors, Warnings and Log Files Error File written to if analysis fails error messages point to the problem empty if run successful Warning File contains assumptions made non-convergence warnings parameter out of range and curve extrapolation warnings Log File record of general data entries record of fluid properties repeat of errors and warnings tabulated results data can be customised

27 NUT 6.3 Slide 27 of 41 Results List of results available Gives details to help identify particular results sets Open, description and delete options become available when the result is selected

28 NUT 6.3 Slide 28 of 41 Component Results Can draw results on network including colour coding Create gradient of results Can obtain list of results Steady State results

29 NUT 6.3 Slide 29 of 41 Node Results Can collect nodes to display results Plot graph of results Can see results on network diagram Table of node results

30 NUT 6.3 Slide 30 of 41 Node Result Pressures at node level displayed on network diagram

31 NUT 6.3 Slide 31 of 41 Node Result Plotting area Three buttons that allow single line on graph overlay facility keep graph when another is plotted

32 NUT 6.3 Slide 32 of 41 Same Example - Transient Model a Transient event in this case, a varying upstream pressure Need some additional data assign pressure vs time curve model an elastic pipe with wave speed of 1000 m/s time step = 0.011s analysis run for 5s Review results

33 NUT 6.3 Slide 33 of 41 Assign a Performance Curve Curve Surface Equation Stored within an expandable database Will cover the database features later

34 NUT 6.3 Slide 34 of 41 Curve Selection

35 NUT 6.3 Slide 35 of 41 Run-Time Displays Run-time colours can be applied to a visible schematic to indicate varying Pressure Flow Rate Temperature Run-time graphs can also be displayed These are covered later

36 NUT 6.3 Slide 36 of 41 Transient Results Can plot graphs of time history variations Different ways of viewing time varying results View results from a branch of a component Different ways of viewing the results independent of time Select an internal node within the pipe With Time selected results can be animated after analysis List of components in the network

37 NUT 6.3 Slide 37 of 41 Transient Results Can overlay component and node results Can overlay results with different units can re-stack the axes

38 NUT 6.3 Slide 38 of 41 View of Log File Data contained can be customised Useful if wish to extract certain results e.g. for inclusion in a report Define in ‘Report’ when results selected Can also view warnings and errors files

39 NUT 6.3 Slide 39 of 41 Creating a Customised Log File Select here to view entire log file Select here to view customised log file Select to view errors or warnings files To view the log file as defined below Can add new customised log file, edit an existing one or delete one. This area is specific to AC analyses and provides different options for displaying P-h diagrams.

40 NUT 6.3 Slide 40 of 41 Customising a Log File Can define data to include: component node specific parameters

41 NUT 6.3 Slide 41 of 41 The Log File The standard log fileA customised log file
