Upon completion of a Designer run,
00:06
the Export view provides you with the ability to export the recommended improvements to various locations,
00:12
and review a listing of pipes recommended to be paralleled.
00:15
You can select which solution you want to export.
00:18
For pipes, there are two separate methods available for exporting recommended modifications
00:24
into appropriate pipe database tables.
00:26
The first method allows you to update any user-selected pipe information database field with the computed design action.
00:33
The second method, which applies to non-parallel pipes only,
00:37
lets you update any chosen pipe set with the recommended pipe diameters and/or roughness values.
00:43
Note that it may be useful to create new pipe, pump, and tank sets before exporting design data back to your model.
00:51
You can then create a new scenario with these updated sets, and run simulations to compare results between your scenarios.
00:58
Verify that the solution is acceptable under all proposed operating conditions, including future conditions.
01:05
Ultimately, you are looking for a solution that works for Steady State, Fire Flow, and Extended Period conditions.
