After running a batch simulation, using the batch simulation manager,
00:08
you can begin exploring the results for a
00:10
particular node and compare results between the scenarios.
00:14
Here you can see from the messages in the
00:16
message board that the batch run has just completed.
00:20
Now you can find out how tank T 5000 performed
00:23
in each scenario by viewing its output data as a graph
00:28
to begin.
00:29
Double click the desired project dot APR file to open ARGI
00:33
Pro.
00:35
Once the project starts click the info water pro tab to open the info water pro ribbon
00:42
in the project panel, click initialize
00:45
in the model explorer command center tab,
00:48
expand the utilities and locate folders and then double click node.
00:55
Enter T 5000 as the id and then click OK.
00:59
The map zooms into tank T 5000
01:03
at the top of the model explorer ensure that existing is your current scenario
01:08
and that the output drop down list shows the output as active standard.
01:14
After running a batch simulation,
01:16
the output list allows you to toggle back and
01:18
forth between the results of the scenarios you ran.
01:21
Setting the output to active standard.
01:23
Lets you view results for the active scenario.
01:27
Switch to the attribute tab and click graph to open a tank graph of this tank
01:32
in the report manager,
01:33
expand the dropdown and select level as the
01:36
parameter that is displayed in the graph.
01:40
Then click the reference graph icon
01:44
in the reference graph window. Switch to the level reference sources tab
01:50
enable data from other output sources. Then click select
01:55
in the select output sources to compare dialogue multi
01:58
select 2030 alt pumping standard and E X alt pumping standard
02:02
so that they are highlighted in blue and then click,
02:05
OK,
02:07
click OK. Again to close the reference graph window.
02:11
The output data from the two scenarios you just selected is plotted on the
02:14
tank graph and you can analyze the main impact of the alternate pump controls.
02:20
You can see that the change in pump controls shifted the curve so
02:24
that the tank begins filling approximately one hour later in the day.
02:29
You can also create a table of outputs to review data from multiple nodes.
02:33
For example, to see the differences in pressure from one scenario to another.
02:38
Click new to open the output report slash graft window
02:42
from the tabular report section. Select junction range
02:46
in the data scope group, select complete report slash graph and then click open
02:52
in the report manager,
02:53
switch the graph display parameter to pressure using the dropdown,
02:58
click compare report and in the select output sources to compare dialogue,
03:02
select 2030 standard as the source to compare
03:06
and then click OK.
03:08
Back in the report manager, click format report.
03:13
Then in the format all dialogue, click the arrows to move the reports.
03:16
So that only min value and min value 2030 standard remain in the display columns.
03:22
Pane
03:23
click OK?
03:25
Be aware that this output can be easily
03:27
copied to excel for deeper numerical analysis.
03:30
But you can use the results in the report manager to start comparing the scenarios
03:36
click sort as sending on each column header.
03:40
You can see that the minimum system pressure for the existing
03:42
scenario is minus 2.71 psi whereas for the 2030 scenario,
03:47
it is minus 2.59 psi
03:51
click hide to close the report manager.
03:55
You can use similar steps to compare output from scenarios on junction pipe
03:59
pump tank and valve graphs or on any of the range reports.

In this tutorial, the batch run has just completed. To find out how tank T5000 performed in each scenario, view its output data as a graph:
The map zooms in to tank T5000.
Note: After running a batch simulation, the Output list allows you to toggle back and forth between the results of the scenarios you ran. Setting the output to *Active*:Standard lets you view results for the active scenario.
The output data from the two scenarios you just selected is plotted on the tank graph, and you can analyze the main impact of the alternate pump controls.
You can see that the change in pump controls shifted the curve so that the tank begins filling approximately one hour later in the day:

Note: This output can be easily copied to Excel for deeper numerical analysis, but you can use the results in the Report Manager to start comparing the scenarios.
The minimum system pressure for the EXISTING scenario is -2.71 psi, whereas for the 2030 scenario, it is -2.59 psi.
Note: Similar steps can be used to compare output from scenarios on junction, pipe, pump, tank, and valve graphs, or on any of the range reports.
