Multiple scenarios can be created to analyze different settings
00:08
or even to create a batch simulation of scenarios.
00:12
For example,
00:13
you can set up an alternate scenario that
00:15
contains different pump controls from the original scenario
00:19
to see what effect those alternative controls
00:21
have on the system and its performance.
00:24
For example, if a pump is out of service, for whatever reason,
00:27
it is important to know whether the system can still supply demands
00:32
to begin. Double click the desired project dot APR X file to open or
00:37
GIS pro.
00:38
Once the project starts,
00:40
click the info water pro tab to open the info water pro ribbon
00:45
in the project panel, click initialize
00:49
in the model explorer on the attribute tab, click the scenario explorer icon
00:55
in the scenario explorer under network data scenarios,
00:58
select the existing scenario and then in the toolbar, click copy,
01:04
the existing scenario was previously created to represent
01:07
the existing system under normal demand conditions.
01:11
Next select the base base network scenario.
01:15
And then in the toolbar, click paste as clone
01:19
in the pop-up, enter a new ID of E
01:22
underscore alt
01:23
pumping
01:24
and then click OK.
01:27
In the tree, you can see that the copied scenario. E
01:31
alt pumping becomes a child of the selected scenario
01:34
base base network scenario.
01:38
Ensure that the new
01:40
all pumping scenario is selected and then click the dataset tab
01:45
in the category list, double click control set
01:49
in the control set, pop up,
01:50
select active and then in the toolbar click clone to make a clone of the data set.
01:57
The control set data set stores all initial status definitions
02:01
and all simple controls such as the pump controls.
02:04
Whereas the logical set stores all rule based controls
02:09
enter a new id of
02:11
alt pumping
02:12
and then click ok,
02:15
click exit to close the scenario explorer
02:20
in the model explorer on the attribute tab, expand the dropdown list and select the
02:25
alt pumping scenario.
02:29
Then click OK to confirm. Switching to this scenario
02:33
in the map zoom in to the area of the treatment plant reservoir wtp 100
02:39
in the contents pane right click pump and choose label to display the pump labels
02:46
in the info water pro ribbon on the edit tab, click select
02:50
and then select pump P 100 in the map
02:55
in the model explorer on the attribute tab,
02:57
expand the tools drop down and select control
03:02
in the pump control dialogue under control data,
03:04
select the first rule ensuring the check box has a
03:07
highlight around it but it still shows as no.
03:11
Then in the level value group enter 112 as the level value.
03:17
Then in the control data group, click update.
03:21
The rule in the control data box is updated to reflect the new level
03:26
pump P 100 will now turn on when the water level in tank T 5004 drops below 112 ft.
03:35
You may have noticed that there are two update buttons.
03:38
The one in the control data group box updates the rules and keeps the dialog box open
03:43
while the update button below the separator next to the cancel button,
03:46
updates and closes the dialog box.
03:50
Repeat this process to create a second pump control,
03:54
select the second rule in the control data box.
03:57
Enter 120 is the level value
03:59
and click update.
04:02
Now pump P 100 will turn off when the water level in tank T 5004 rises above 120 ft.
04:11
Verify the values in the control data box and then click update
04:14
to finalize the new pump rule data and exit the dialogue.
04:18
Repeat these steps for pump P 120
04:22
set. The first rule to have a level value of 118
04:25
and the second rule to have a level value of 129.
04:30
Now,
04:30
this pump will turn on when the water level in tank T 5004 drops below
04:42
Both pumps now have new controls for this new scenario.

If a pump is out of service for whatever reason, it is important to know whether the system can still supply demands.
The EXISTING scenario was previously created to represent the existing system under normal demand conditions.
In the file tree, the copied scenario—EX_ALTPUMPING—becomes a child of the selected scenario—BASE, Base Network Scenario.
The Control Set dataset stores all initial status definitions and all simple controls, such as the pump controls, whereas the Logical Set stores all rule-based controls.
The rule in the Control Data box is updated to reflect the new level. Pump P-100 will now turn on when the water level in tank T5004 drops below 112 feet.
Note: there are two Update buttons. The one in the Control Data group box updates the rules and keeps the dialog box open, while the Update button below the separator next to the Cancel button updates and closes the dialog box.
Now, Pump P-100 will turn off when the water level in tank T5004 rises above 120 feet:
Now, this pump will turn on when the water level in tank T5004 drops below 118 feet, and it will turn off when the water level rises above 129 feet.
Both pumps now have new controls for this new scenario.
