Start A waterCAD Model/Analysis

Start A waterCAD Model/Analysis

Start A waterCAD Model/Analysis

(OP)
I have been tasked to start a smaller model/anaysis of a distribution network out of a larger one with waterCAD. Concerns are fireflows. Can someone tell me where to start from? Some developers are geting on the network.  Thanks

RE: Start A waterCAD Model/Analysis

I'm sorry but your question is not clear.  Do you have a large WaterCAD network and you need to look at just a small section of it?  Or you want to analyze a small section of a large network using WaterCAD?

Are you looking for help with using WaterCAD or with the modeling procedure. (i.e. How to handle the points where the network is cut.)

RE: Start A waterCAD Model/Analysis

(OP)
I do not know what is usually done. Can anyone educate me on the best way to go about it. I already have the distribution ntwork in WaterCAD (not created by me). There is a plot of land which is going to be built up. Options are to resize some pipes in that section or put in a pump to meet fire flows. Any help.
