Pump Discharge pipe

[sgasega]

I know that I can have multiple pumps but in my case I have two pumps with one discharge pipe. Is there any way to mimic that in Hydrocad 9?

Since the frictional losses are calculated separately for each pump, there will be some difference depending on how many pumps are running at a given time. But this variation should be small in comparison to the static head.

If there is no way to model two pumps discharging into one pipe, you can always model two seperate discharge pipes as a single using the equal conveyance/headloss approach.
