Hi all,
Am working on a new project and did the watering schedule, but for some reason am not able to get the runtime summery and the runtimes of the valves..
what can be the reason of that?
Thanks
Nibal,
If I understand what you are describing, the summary and runtime reports were not working. You then sized your mainlines and tried the reports again, and this time they worked?

That would be correct. Any time you make changes to the lateral or mainline portions of the drawing, you need to make sure you size the valves and mainline again, to ensure the system is using the most up to date data to pull from.

YES..
Actually i think most probably thats it,..
because yesterday i only resized the laterals and kept checking on the precip..
and i forgot to resize the mainline..

Am really enjoying using the F/X..
Its a great software..
Thank you all for the efforts you are doing to make it much better..

Nibal,
Are you getting an error or a message of some sort when trying to run the reports? If you are still running into the previous issues of too high precip rates, the valve might still be running into the issue of sizing those valves properly, which might be holding things up when generating those reports. Make sure you fix your other issues, then try the Runtime Report again.

Jake,
Am not getting an error message..
But when i run the summery report, nothing shows in the screen..
and when i run the runtime report i get the report without any data.. i mean i dont get when each valve is on or off..

I have the same problem. I tried with sizing all laterals again but i keep receiving message "Unsizeable valve encontered...erroring out" How do i size these laterals and how do i find this valve to fix it?

It seems that the problem is with drip area valves, I have several of them. I have removed pipes lower than 25mm in diameter from the project pipe data list and due to low flow with drip irrigation it seems it cant keep adequate velocity? For pop ups we never use laterals below 25mm but for drip I should make new pipe selection (in pipe data) and add 20 and 16mm?

Naturalist,

 

The issue you describe is not related to the Runtime Summary.

If you could please create a new forum post for that message, we will address it there.
