The firef flow demand table allows you to set up overrides and
00:07
block edits of various firef flow fields in a database editor.
00:11
Before running a firef flow simulation.
00:14
In this exercise,
00:15
you set the analysis to generate firef flow element reports for all hydrants
00:20
to begin. Double click the desired project dot
00:23
X file to open
00:25
Agis Pro.
00:26
Once the project startss,
00:28
click the info water pro tab to open the info water pro ribbon
00:33
in the project panel, click initialize
00:37
in the model explorer, click run
00:41
in the run manager on the firef flow tab, click edit firef flow table.
00:46
The DB editor opens,
00:49
select the generate model output column to highlight it in blue.
00:53
Right, click the column header
00:54
and select block editing
00:57
in the block edit window set the value to yes,
01:01
this field is case sensitive. So make sure that you type yes with an upper case Y
01:07
click. OK.
01:10
By applying yes to the generate model output column,
01:12
hydraulic results will be available based
01:15
on all junctions representing hydrants.
01:18
If the generate model output value is no,
01:20
then the hydraulic results will not be generated for the corresponding hydrant
01:25
notice. Also the residual pressure and design pressure columns.
01:30
These allow you to set unique residual
01:32
pressure and minimum design pressure values that will
01:35
override the global values set in the firef flow tab of the run manager.
01:39
Click save to save your edits and then exit to close the DB editor
01:46
in the run manager on the fire flow tab.
01:48
Make sure that run firef flow on domain only and duration are not enabled.
01:55
Click run
01:57
the firef flow report opens automatically in the report manager.
02:01
If you are prompted to switch to the most recent output data, click yes.
02:07
The report that opens is the standard firef flow report.
02:10
The hydraulic reports must be opened manually
02:14
in the report manager, click new
02:19
in the output slash report graph window
02:21
under available output sources select active firef flow
02:27
on the tabular report tab select firef flow junction
02:30
report from the list and then click open.
02:34
This report contains results for all junctions.
02:38
The hydrant for which the results are shown is specified
02:41
by the dropdown at the top of the report.
02:44
Realize that every hydrant in the drop down list
02:47
is a single simulation that opens that hydrant.
02:51
The junctions in the report are all other junctions that
02:53
are not being simulated as a hydrant at this point.
02:57
So by choosing a hydrant that you want to see the results for from the drop down,
03:01
the table shows you the effect that hydrant opening had on the system.
03:06
Again, this is only available because you entered.
03:08
Yes in the generate model output boolean fields in the table
03:13
in the report manager, click new again
03:17
in the output slash report graph window
03:19
under available output sources select active firef flow
03:24
on the tabular report, tab select firef flow pipe report
03:28
and then click open
03:30
view this report.
