00:21
name this run GMR hydrant testing and set it to experimental.
00:26
Then in the model group window click and drag the
00:29
network into the network group box in the dialog,
00:32
expand the run type dropdown and select firef flow.
00:36
Then in the firef flow options dialog for the type of simulation.
00:40
Select hydrant testing.
00:42
As soon as you do the dialogue expands to provide you with more options
00:47
from the model group.
00:49
Drag the hydrants selection list into the selection list pane and then
00:53
drag and drop the firef flow object into the firef flow pane.

In the fire demand data group set the measurement delay to 15 minutes.

Then run the simulation.
01:51
The GMR produces a summary report of the results for each hydrant.
01:56
It indicates the firef flow at which the test failed and
01:59
it stipulates the time at which the test was run,
02:02
which is the time of the lowest pressure at each hydrant.
02:06
Essentially,

Dialogue.
In InfoWorks Pro, a GMR configuration has been created to test whether each hydrant in a network can provide the required fire flow when it is at the lowest pressure. The next step is to simulate the hydrant testing exercise.
The dialog box expands with more options.
A Generalised Multi Run Options popup appears.
To run the simulation and view the results:
The GMR produces a summary report with test results for all the options selected in the Fire Flow Options dialog box. It indicates the fire flow at which the test failed, and it stipulates the time at which the test was run, which is the time of the lowest pressure at each hydrant.
