DRAWING THE NETWORK

AnkiSOFT Yazılım's water supply (drinking water) network hydraulic design software, isuCAD; is developped for water supply network of infrastructure projects. It is for to draw/modelling/design/analyse the water supply network under AutoCAD or ZWCAD.

It is possible to arrange the drawing style by using STYLE MANAGER, so you can use different drawing style in different projects.

OPEN LAYER command can open all the necessary layers that the software needs.

You can define/draw/edit/delete/move nodes, can change some/all properties of nodes. The software will write; node-number and the elevation for each node on the drawing.

You can find any node by searching the node-number, can change the location of node-number, can renumber some/all nodes from a specified number.

You can define/draw/edit/delete pipes, can change the direction of pipes, can change some/all properties of pipes. The software will write; diameter, length and length-coefficient for each pipe on the drawing.

You can define/draw/delete embedded reservoir, elevated reservoir, pump-station, hydrophore.

You can define/draw/delete point-discharge to any pipes.

 

CHECKING

You can check weather there is any mistake in the network model. You can find and you can correct them.

Such as; same manhole-numbers, 1st phase - 2nd phase - existing pipe connections, pipe connections from/to manholes, pipes going from lower elevations to higher elevation.

 

HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS

During design works; the Network-Drawing-Software will work together with the Hydraulic-Calculation-Software.

To do this; all the informations on the drawing will be send to calculation, the calculation software will do hydraulic calculations, then all the calculated informations will be send back to the drawing to show the final situation.

You can repeat this process, untill you reached to the situation that you want.

 

DESIGN CRITERION

You can define;
• Elevation of coming pipe for the reservoir
• Bottom elevation of the reservoir
• Allowable minimum-operation-pressure for the network
• Allowable maximum-static-pressure  for the network
• Peak factor for the network
• Fire discharge values and minimum pipe diameters for main, primary and secondary pipes
• For each pipe; a type-name, material (concrete, reinforced concrete, PVC, ACB, Steel, HDPE, Ribloc, ...), inner diameter, allowable maximum velocity, design formula (William Hazen, Ludin, ...), "C" values (roughness coefficient) for the formula.

 

 

DESIGN CALCULATION TABLES

Hydraulic calculations are in the form of tables and recorded in a text file.
• Start node-number
• End node-number
• Phase number
• Pipe length
• Length-coefficient
• Relative pipe length
• Qpipe, Qstart, Qend, Qaverage, Qtotal, Qfire and Qdesign
• Selected diameter
• Head loss per meter
• Velocity
• Total headloss
• Piezometric elevation at end node
• Ground elevation at end node
• Pressure head at end node
• Remark for each pipe
 

Next table contains; pipe lengths according to pipe diameter and phase of pipe.

The last table contains; excavation amounts according to excavation depth and phase of pipe.

 

CALCULATION PLAN

You can prepare calculation plan from network model. In this plan you can see, pipe directions, pipe lengths, pipe diameter and pipe length-coefficients.

You can propare the plan by the use of only one command in a very short time.

 

CONSTRUCTION PLAN

You can arrange primary/secondary pipe seperation vaşves automatically. You can define/delete valve at start/end of pipes,  can add/delete water emptying valves at desired nodes, can define/delete fire valves on pipes.

You can propare the plan by the use of only one command in a very short time.

 

GENERAL LAYOUT PLAN (1/5000)

The software will show main and primary pipes and node nodes automatically. Also, you can decide for other pipes/nodes to show on general layout plan.

Then, you can prepare general layout plan in a very short time.

 

NODE DETAIL DRAWING

All of the fittings are recorded in a text file for you.  You can add/delete your fittings to that file, can change the appearance order, so you can show your own style.

Typical node details and the fittings are recorded in a text file for you too. You can add/delete to typical node details, can change appearance order, so you can show your own style.

Shortly, you can teach the fittings and the useage of them to the software . After then, the software will prepare node detail drawing in this way.

In the drawings;
• There will be an empty place on the right side of the drawing for legend.
• There will be a border line for the drawing, also another border line for cutting.
• The output is in DXF file-type.

 

FITTINGS LIST DRAWING

Everything will be ready after node detail datail drawing works. It easy for you to prepare fittings list drawing. The only thing that have to do is; to select the phase and to use our command for each of your selection.

In the drawings;
• There will be an empty place on the right side of the drawing for legend.
• There will be a border line for the drawing, also another border line for cutting.
• The output is in DXF file-type.

 

INFORMATION TRANSFER

You can transfer easily all the network informations to another drawing/computer, or vice versa. 

 

GENERAL

• There is no limit to the number of nodes and pipes.
• There is no limit to the number of dead-end-nodes.
• There is no limit to the number of pipe diameters and pipe materials.
• It is possible to have more than one network on the same drawing. There is no limit to the number of networks.
• It is possible to define different discharge areas, different length- coefficient areas.
• It is possible to define 1st-phase, 2nd-phase and existing pipe.
• During design works; it is possible to change pipe diameter.
• During design works; the software can show the logical mistakes of the network to the user to correct them.
• It is possible to see the nodes having less pressure than allowable-minimum-operation pressure and having higher pressure than allowable-maximum-static pressure.
• It is possibe to see pressure difference at dead-end-nodes.
• At the end of the hydraulic calculation, software will supply excavation amounts and pipe lengths..
• The software can prepare classified pipe list according to phase, diameter and material.
• The software can rearrange manhole-numbers automatically.
• All calculations are in a text file, in the form of tables. You can open, you can copy, you can print directly at any time.
• You can print the above text files by using a A4 printer with the help of our software commands too.
• You can use our software commands with AutoCAD or ZWCAD commands too.
