PIPENET VISION 1.5

Take a look at the list of the new fantastic enhancements of PIPENET VISION 1.5 software modules to be released soon. Users with valid Maintenance, Updates and Support (M,U&S) will receive this new version automatically.


Standard and Spray/Sprinkler module enhancements

  • New elastomeric valves achieve the required input pressure, output pressure, pressure drop or flow rate without the need to input the valve characteristic data.
  • Use right mouse button menu to turn nozzles within defined area on/off (applies to Spray/Sprinkler only).
  • Stand-alone program to convert a results file (SRF) to a spreadsheet.
  • The Edit Pipe type dialog now checks that increasing bores correspond to increasing flow-rate (calculated from the velocity and the pipe internal bore.)

 



 Transient module enhancements

  • New graphing tool, with improved user interface and capabilities including superimposition of multiple graphs.
    Please find the attachment.
  • Open channel cavitation algorithms have been significantly upgraded - covering bubbly, slug, and stratified flow types.
  • New simple tank types (vertical cylinder, horizontal cylinder, sphere, cone frustum).
  • New accumulator types (vertical cylinder, horizontal cylinder, sphere).
  • New surge tank types (vertical cylinder, horizontal cylinder, uniform section, cone frustum).
  • New receiving vessel types (vertical cylinder, horizontal cylinder, uniform section, cone frustum).
  • New pipe bundle component - a single component representing the hydraulic characteristics of a bundle of hundreds/thousands of pipes).
  • New Signal Selector component, to find the minimum/maximum of two input signals, or switch from one input signal to another after a defined time period.
  • Limiting Power Ramp option for Transfer function (enabling different ramp up and  ramp down response rates).
  • Receiving vessel model extended to allow the specification of various types of weir.
  • Vacuum breakers can now be defined to operate only within a given time period, staying closed outside that period.
  • Pressure and pressure-difference sensors are now recognized for both the analogue and digital options, whereas previously they were always assumed to be analogue.




General enhancements

  • New demonstration presentations will be supplied on the CD.
  • Components now only change colour from blue to black when all mandatory attributes have been given valid values.
  • The Options>Units tab now initially appears unexpanded, to make it easier to find and change the units of interest.
  • Formatting of decimal numbers has been improved, and the requested precision is now saved correctly between sessions in all cases.
  • Component types now appear alphabetically in the Data View window “Browse” selector.
  • The size of network that can entirely be displayed within the the view window has been increased.
  • A number of other fixes have been incorporated.
