The InfoWater Pro Criticality Assessment Manager app, also known as CAM,
00:10
enables you to carry out a detailed, comprehensive assessment
00:14
of the hydraulic impact of valve operations in your water system.
00:19
This example performs a valve criticality evaluation based on an external GIS layer.
00:27
To begin, double-click the desired project .aprx file to open ArcGIS Pro.
00:35
Once the project starts, click the InfoWater Pro tab to open the InfoWater Pro ribbon.
00:43
In the Project panel, click Initialize.
00:48
Start by running a simulation for the current scenario.
00:52
On the InfoWater Pro ribbon, in the Analysis panel, click Run to open the Run Manager.
01:01
Click Run to run the simulation and create an output for the current scenario.
01:08
Close the Run Manager.
01:11
You can now access the CAM.
01:14
On the InfoWater Pro ribbon, in the Project panel, click Apps.
01:20
From the Apps Manager, select Criticality Assessment Manager, and then click Run to open the app.
01:29
Switch to the Based on GIS Layer Elements tab.
01:34
In the Assessment Element Data section, click Set Sources to set the data sources for valves to be used in the CAM assessment.
01:45
In the Set Valve Data Source dialog, use the Valve GIS Layer drop-down list to select the Hydrant_Valves layer.
01:57
Use the drop-down lists to set the Valve ID Field to VALID2, and the Pipe ID Field to PIPE.
02:07
These fields have been added to the GIS feature class for this example.
02:13
Click Associate Valve to Pipe to associate the pipes closest to the valves.
02:20
Click Close to exit the Set Valve Data Source dialog.
02:25
Back in the CAM, set the Assessment Method to Based on Assessment Elements.
02:32
In this case, hydraulic assessment is based solely on an assessment element.
02:38
A hydraulic simulation is run after closing all pipes connecting to the target assessment element.
02:45
Under Assessment Threshold Data, set the High/Max. Pressure value to 70.
02:53
The CAM app will report all junctions receiving more than this threshold.
02:58
For this example, leave the other settings as is, and click Run.
03:05
The CAM app evaluates your network based on the active network and the options that you defined.
03:13
Progress is displayed on the progress bar.
03:16
A summary is displayed in the Message Board.
03:20
The results should automatically display.
03:23
If not, click Result to display the Extended Valve Assessment Reports.
03:29
In the Affected Area Reports section, click to open the Closed Area report.
03:36
This report displays the area required to isolate valves, and extends to immediate upstream and downstream valves.
03:46
Select the Demand Loss column header, and from the toolbar, click Sort Descending.
03:54
The top value shows the maximum demand loss, along with the valves associated with this loss.
04:02
These high values are due to the setup of this example model,
04:06
where the valves layer covers only a portion of the network, and large sections of the network without valves are included in the Closed Area.
04:17
Click to view the Disconnected Area report.
04:21
This report displays areas disconnected from supply sources, if any, as a result of the Closed Area.
04:30
For this example, investigate the report to see how many valves, when isolated, cause a disconnection in the network.
04:39
In the Performance Reports section, click to open the Run Summary.
04:45
The Run Summary report shows the status of each assessment run and whether the run encounters any disconnections.
04:54
Investigate the report to see if any simulations failed for this example.
05:00
Look through the other Performance Reports to review Junction Performance and Pipe Performance.
05:08
Return to the Closed Area report.
05:11
Select the Assessment ID column header, and from the toolbar, click Sort Descending.
05:19
Select the ID WV108.
05:24
In the Detailed Element Reports section, click Nodes.
05:29
In the toolbar, click Apply Map Display.
05:34
All of the valves that need to be closed to isolate WV108 are displayed in red in the network map.
05:43
Move the CAM app to the side to view the map.
05:48
You can change display colors in the Highlight Colors section, if needed.
05:53
Under Detailed Element Reports, click Pipes.
05:58
In the toolbar, click Apply Map Display.
06:03
In the network map, all of the impacted pipes are displayed in yellow.
06:09
From the CAM toolbar, click Reset Map Display to return the map display to the original configuration.
06:18
Close the Critical Assessment Manager app.
