One of the potential challenges when working with a surge model is identifying which model elements have surge properties defined for them. InfoSurge and InfoSurge Pro make this process easier and faster by providing the Identify Surge Elements tool, which can help identify those elements. Within this tool are several options for adding certain elements to a domain. A domain is a temporary subset of selected elements that can be highlighted in the model or selected for additional operations.
To view the available options, from the Model Explorer, InfoSurge toolbar, click Identify Surge Elements.
In the drop-down, choose from the following:
- Show Demand Change Junctions – Adds all junctions with demand changes set to the domain.
- Show Operation Change Pumps – Adds all pumps with operation change data set.
- Show Operation Change AVs (active valves) – Adds all active valves with operation change data set.
- Show Pipes with Surge Data – Adds all pipes with the wave speed set.
- Show Pumps with Surge Data – Adds all pumps with pump surge data set.
- Show AVs with Surge Data – Adds all active valves.
- Show Surge Protection Devices – Adds all junctions configured as surge protection devices.
- Show All Disabled Surge Elements – Adds all surge elements set as disabled.
- Show All Surge Elements with Change Data – Adds all surge elements with change data.
- Show All Surge Elements – Adds all surge elements without change data.
- Clear Domain – Removes all entities in the domain.
