#Watercad v8i calibration manual
The right side of the dialog contains controls that are used to define settings and input data for Calibration Studies and their component Manual and Optimized Runs.Description: This video is presented by Martin Pflanz, P.E. Opens the Correlation Graph dialog box, which displays a graph of the solution that is currently highlighted in the list pane. Opens the Report Viewer, which displays a detailed report of the solution that is currently highlighted in the list pane. Opens the Export to Scenario dialog box, allowing you to export the solution that is currently highlighted in the list pane to a new or existing scenario, alternative, and/or set of alternatives. Batch Run: Opens the Batch Run Dialog, allowing you to select multiple runs to compute together.Children: Computes the highlighted optimized or manual run as well as all the calibration runs derived from it.Hierarchy: Computes the highlighted optimized or manual run as well all the optimized or manual runs branching from it hierarchically.Compute: Computes the optimized or manual run that is currently highlighted in the list pane.Opens a submenu containing the following commands: Renames the calibration study, manual run, or optimized run that is currently highlighted in the list pane. Deleting a run will also delete any child runs based on it.
Deleting a study will also delete all runs that are a part of that study. If you have specific solutions in mind, Manual Calibration might let you quickly narrow-down or refine the number and measure of adjustments before you use the genetic algorithm.ĭeletes the calibration study, manual run, or optimized run that is currently highlighted in the list pane. Use this command if you want to test fitness by adjusting roughness, demand, or status manually. New Manual Run - Creates a new manual run.You can set the optimized calibration to deliver several solutions for you to review.
#Watercad v8i calibration trial
Use this command if you want WaterCAD to efficiently process and evaluate numerous trial calibrations of your water system.
If you change the Base Calibration, the change does not ripple down to the Child Calibrations. Use Base and Child Calibrations to establish a history of your calibration trials to help you derive a list of optimized solutions for your water system.
#Watercad v8i calibration series
You can set up a series of Base Calibrations, which can have numerous Child Calibrations that inherit settings from their parent Base Calibrations. The Bentley WaterCAD CONNECT Darwin Calibrator provides a history of your calibration attempts, allows you to use a manual approach to calibration, supports multiple field data sets, brings the speed and efficiency of genetic algorithms to calibrating your water system, and presents several calibration candidates for you to consider, rather than just one solution. Once this is done, the Field Data Snapshot and other Calibrator related fields are created, and those options will then appear in the ModelBuilder dialogs. You would click on Analysis > Darwin Calibrator first in the main menu. This is because that database type and its associated fields haven't been initialized yet. Note: As an example, if you are trying to use ModelBuilder to import calibration data but have never opened Calibrator in this particular model, you will not see the "Field Data Snapshot" model type in the dropdown list for Table Type. Calibrator (as well as Designer and Skelebrator) are components that initialize their data when first used, so one needs to at least open the component for those database fields to be created in the current model.
