WS pro there may be times when you want to make changes to
00:09
a specific object with the goal of achieving a desired simulation result.
00:16
For example,
00:16
you may want to resize a single pipe to increase the flow rate within a network
00:24
with the pipe replacement scenario open in the toolbar, click the properties tool.
00:29
Then in the GEO plan, click the dark blue bypass pipe
00:34
in the pipe's properties window increase its diameter by
00:37
entering a new value in the type box.
00:39
In
00:40
this case, the diameter is doubled from 100 to 200
00:46
commit your changes by right clicking bridge net. In the model group window,
00:50
click commit changes to database then OK,
00:57
double click the pipe replacement run to open the schedule, hydraulic run
01:03
at the top of the network group box.
01:05
The down arrow icon is bordered in red,
01:08
meaning there is a more up to date version of the network,
01:11
click it and observe the version number change from 5 to 6 in the group box,
01:16
click save, then rerun
01:18
and confirm that you want to run the two simulations again.
01:24
Once the simulations finish,
01:26
you can see if the change in diameter you
01:28
made to the pipe gave you the desired results.
01:31
This method is ideal when you have only one object you
01:34
want to change or a very small number of objects.

InfoWorks WS Pro allows you to make changes to a specific object with the goal of achieving a desired simulation result. For example, resizing a single pipe can increase the flow rate within a network.
To change the size of a pipe:
To commit the changes:
To run the simulation:
Notice in the Network group box, the version number changes from “5” to “6”.
Once the simulations finish, observe whether the change in pipe diameter gives the desired results.
Note: This method is ideal when you want to change only one object, or a very small number of objects.
