Create Drainage Pit Inflows

Introduction

This command allows for directly specifying flows into a pit/pipe.

The data is stored at the pit and this command can be used to edit the inflows.

A symbol may be assigned to pits receiving a Specified Pit Inflow - see the Active Network Settings for more information.

Details

Upon selecting this command, at the Command prompt the user will be asked to "Locate Pit to Add Specified Flows".

Upon selecting a pit, a glyph may appear and a confirmation screen display to confirm the selection, pending the Active Network Settings controls applied.

After a pit is selected and confirmed, the following form is displayed:


Frequency From the drop down list select the required event frequency.  The same frequency can be used more than once.
Destination Select the method that the inflow enters the pit.  Options include:
Pipe Only To be used where flows are only added to pipe flows, typically where direct connections are made to a pipe a specified inflow would be added to the upstream pit.  This will affect the pipe loss of the next downstream pipe and all further pits and pipes downstream.
Pit and Pipe This will add flow to the pit and downstream pipe.  Typically from a pumped line or another source of fixed flow rate.  This will affect both pit and pipe losses down to the outlet.
Pit Only (NO Pipe Flow) This is used to adjust flows at a pit only.  The flow entered will only affect the pit loss at that pit only and will not enter the pipe or other part of the network. 
Flow (l/s) Enter the required flow amount in litres per second.
OK Apply and exit.
Cancel Exit the form without applying any changes.
