HYDRAULIC DATA TABLES

Nibal,
It looks like the attachment you mention is missing. Would you please reattach so we can see what you are asking for?

Regards,

other irrigation software like Irricad giving such data.

Any answers or suggestions? Is it possible to get reports for each segment like those generated in the image?

Luis,

We do plan on adding more detail to the Valve Schedule and Critical Analysis reports.
However we are struggling to appreciate the efficacy of such an example report. If there is no ability to correlate each row with an actual pipe segment, and with no discernible order to the rows, we are not quite grasping the utility of such data.
We have our new Friction Loss Calculator for anyone wishing to check the accuracy of our calculations. If you could provide some more detail as to what purpose it would serve to generate such a volume of marginally useful data, that would help incredibly.

Hi Jeremias, thank you for your response.

We understand that this report might not make much sense if it doesn't directly correlate with the drawing (for example, if nodes aren't specified in the drawing). However, typically when a project is delivered, the editable file is usually provided along with the reports it generates (like a calculation report). This allows for a connection, even if it's complex—perhaps by using lengths and identifying solenoids or connection points—between the report and the drawing. This helps justify that the calculations have been performed, even if the client then needs to work with the data further to get more information. In short, these are common client requirements for a quick check to verify that their specifications are met.

This type of report enables us to effectively use the tool and justify our work based on client requests.

Luis.

Luis,

Ah, so the *goal* is to justify that the calculations have been performed. I think it's imperative to be focused on the goal, as the style of report that your shared, in my opinion, does a very poor job of illustrating that. I think our Critical Analysis does a far better job of that. Our plan is to expand the Critical Analysis to be able to show any or all valves, and to show the friction loss for the various pipe segments.
It reminds me a bit of an agency request that a user shared with us, where it required him to include his "handwritten pipe sizing calculations" as proof that the hydraulic calculation had been done correctly. Over time, these silly requirements will improve, without having to prove how a computer sorted things alphabetically or corrected spelling or calculated friction loss.
We are hoping to add these additional options to the Critical Analysis later this year, which would simply display the friction loss for every pipe segment along the critical run. Which, as far as I can tell from the report shared, is the only additional desired data.
