Calculate a 'double grid'?
Calculate a 'double grid'?
(OP)
Hi folks.
Here's a head scratcher...
I've been tasked with verifying hydraulics for a system a contractor installed in a storage warehouse.
See attached and note the 'double grid' he created by running another 'cross' main down the middle of the grid. The grid generation function of my software sure as hell won't build this and I can't even logically determine where to start with the remote area to put the data in manually. The heads used were the CMSA storage sprinklers which require a min. of 10 psi and 15 heads in the remote design area.
Any suggestions???
Cheers

Doing it this way the grid will peak but it is time consuming so I haven't done a whole lot of them.

I think I am going to look at a new program. Would love to get Autosprink but who the hell has time for a week in Vegas to attend their mandatory training?

I did the live 'webinar' demo of the program with a MEPCAD representative a few months back and it near blew my mind!
