Reviewing the results of an EPS

00:05

Once you have successfully run a hydraulic model through an

00:08

S, you can review the results using the attribute tab of the model explorer.

00:13

And you can create a variety of reference

00:15

graphs using the tools in the report manager

00:19

to begin double click the desired project dot

00:22

ARX file to open RGI

00:24

pro.

00:26

Once the project starts,

00:27

click the info water pro tab to open the info water pro ribbon

00:32

in the project panel, click initialize

00:36

select a junction in the model.

00:39

The output section of model explorer attribute tab populates

00:43

with the demand and pressure data for that junction.

00:47

You can use the arrows or slide the output time

00:49

bar in the model explorer to change the output time.

00:53

The values in the attribute tab always reflect

00:56

the time referenced by the output time bar.

01:00

Select the pump with an id of P dash 140 which

01:03

is near the tank in the lower left of the system

01:08

in the model explorer attribute tab,

01:10

click the graph icon to open a pump graph of this pump in the report manager.

01:16

Make sure that FLO is selected in the second dropdown

01:19

from the graph. You can see that this pump was flowing during the simulation,

01:24

but it turned off twice.

01:27

Now select the tank with the id of T 5000 in the lower left corner of the system

01:35

in the model explorer attribute tab,

01:37

click the graph icon to open a tank graph in the report manager

01:43

to change the parameter displayed in the graph,

01:45

expand the second dropdown and select level.

01:50

The graph shows that the tank is filling and draining during the 24 hours.

01:56

In the report manager for this tank graph,

01:58

click the reference graph icon to add another parameter to the graph

02:03

in the reference graph dialog box.

02:05

Other data sources tab select quick mixed graph as the reference option

02:11

and active graph data as the data source

02:16

click OK.

02:18

The reference graph data source will create

02:21

a second parameter within the same graph.

02:25

There will be two options in the first drop down.

02:28

One that specifies the main or right Y axis and a

02:31

second that specifies the parameter for the associated Y axis,

02:36

expand the first dropdown and change the Y axis reference to R tank T 5000

02:43

then expand the second dropdown and change the parameter

02:46

displayed on the secondary Y axis to flow.

02:51

Click the reference graph icon again

02:54

on the other data sources.

02:56

Tab select none as the reference option to remove the secondary parameter.

03:02

Click OK.

03:04

You can compare graphs in the report manager

03:08

click undock twice to undock both graphs

03:13

from the window. Dropdown menu select tile horizontally.

03:20

The graphs are tiled on top of each other allowing you to view

03:23

and compare the E P S results for the specific pump and tank.

03:27

At the same time,

03:29

you can right click the title bar of each of

03:31

the floating graphs and choose dock to report manager to redo

03:34

the graphs

03:36

from the window dropdown menu select hide all

03:40

the graphs disappear from the display but can be

03:42

displayed again at any time by selecting un hide

03:45

all.

03:48

You can also display a graph of multiple selected elements

03:53

zoom to the area near pumps, P dash 100

03:55

P dash 120.

03:59

Ensure that both pumps are visible

04:03

in the report manager. Click new.

04:06

If you close the report manager previously,

04:08

you can reopen it in the model explorer attribute tab by clicking the graph icon

04:14

in the graph report tab select pump group graph

04:18

then click open.

04:21

Since selected elements was selected as the data scope.

04:24

The report manager is waiting for the pumps to be selected

04:28

with the select tool, active click and drag the cursor over pumps, P dash 100

04:33

P dash 120.

04:35

The pumps turn light blue indicating that they have been selected

04:40

right. Click anywhere in the map display and select enter

04:44

the report manager graph opens displaying the output for both pumps

04:49

by viewing two pumps in the same graph.

04:52

You can see that only pump P dash 120 was used for the 24 hour analysis.

04:58

Any report in info water pro can be customized using this tool,

05:02

click hide to close the report manager.

05:06

Every report and graph in the report manager is saved

Step-by-step:

Once you have successfully run a hydraulic model through an EPS, you can review the results using the Attribute tab of the Model Explorer, and you can create a variety of reference graphs using the tools in the Report Manager.

  1. Open the appropriate .aprx file in ArcGIS Pro.
  2. From the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, Project panel, click Initialize.
  3. In the model, select a junction.
    A zoomed-in view of the model with a junction being selected
  1. In the Model Explorer, Attribute tab, Output section, notice the demand and pressure data for the selected junction.
  2. Use the arrows or slide the output time bar to change the output time.
    The Model Explorer, with the output time bar highlighted.

The values in the Attribute tab always reflect the time referenced by the output time bar.

  1. In the model, select pump P-140.
  2. In the Model Explorer, Attribute tab toolbar, click Graph.
    The Model Explorer, Attribute tab, with the Graph tool called out for selection
  1. From the Report Manager dialog box, expand the drop-down and select Flow.
    The Report Manager with Flow selected and the graph showing the flow data
  1. Notice that during the simulation, the selected pump was flowing and that it turned off twice.
  2. In the model, select tank T5000.
  3. In the Model Explorer, Attribute tab, click Graph.
  4. In the Report Manager, change the parameter by expanding the Flow drop-down and select Level.
    The Report Manager with Level selected and the graph showing the level data
  1. Notice the graph shows the tank filling and draining during the 24-hour period.
  2. Click Reference Graph.
    The Report Manager, with the Reference Graph tool called out for selection
  1. From the Reference Graph dialog box, Other Data Sources tab, set Reference Option to Quick Mixed Graph.
  2. Set Data Source to Active Graph Data.
  3. Click OK.
    The Reference Graph dialog box with the reference option and data source settings configured

The Reference Graph Data Source will create a second parameter within the same graph. There will be two options in the first drop-down, one that specifies the Main or Right y-axis, and a second that specifies the parameter for the associated y-axis.

  1. In the Report Manager dialog box, expand the drop-down and set the Y-Axis to R: Tank T5000.
  2. Set the parameter drop-down back to Flow.
    The Report Manager, with the Y-Axis and Flow parameter set
  1. Click Reference Graph.
  2. From the Reference Graph dialog box, Other Data Sources tab, set Reference Option to None.
  3. Click OK.
  4. To compare graphs, undock them both. In the Report Manager, click Undock twice.
    The Report Manager, with Undock called out for selection
  1. Select Window > Tile Horizontally.
    The Report Manager, with the Window menu expanded and the Tile Horizontally tool being selected

The graphs are tiled on top of each other, allowing you to view and compare the EPS results for the specific pump and tank at the same time.

  1. To re-dock the graphs, right-click the title bar of a floating graph and click Dock to Report Manager.
  2. To hide the graphs, select Window > Hide All.
  3. To re-display them, select Window > Unhide All.
    The Report Manager, with the Window menu expanded and the Hide All option called out
  1. To display a graph of multiple selected elements, in the model, locate pumps P-100 and P-120.
  2. In the Report Manager, click New.
    The Report Manager, with the New command called out
  1. In the Output Report/Graph dialog box, Graph Report tab, select Pump Group Graph.
  2. Click Open.
    The Output Report/Graph dialog box, with Pump Group Graph selected in the Graph Report pane
  1. From the ribbon, activate the Select tool.
  2. In the model, select pumps P-100 and P-120.
    A zoomed-in view of the model, with the two pumps being selected
  1. Right-click anywhere in the model and from the shortcut menu, select Enter.
    A zoomed-in view of the model with the pumps already selected, the shortcut menu activated, and Enter being selected

In the Report Manager graph, notice the output for both pumps. Only pump P-120 was used for the 24-hour analysis.

  1. Click Hide to close the Report Manager.

Every report and graph in the Report Manager is saved in its current state until it is manually removed, refreshed, or the model is closed.
