Gravity
The gravity vector is required to calculate elevation differences in the network, as they can have a significant impact on the flow.
Enter the Gravity vector in the X,Y, and Z values.
Tip: Alternatively, click 
in the View ribbon, and then drag the yellow arrow in the widget to specify the gravity direction.

Minor losses depend on various factors such as sudden changes in the pipe diameter, bending angles, or valves.
Select one of the following calculation methods:
- Calculate except when K factor specified (Default) If this option is selected and no k factor has been supplied, the minor losses are calculated automatically. If k factors have been supplied, Dalton uses them to calculate the minor losses.
- Don't calculate (use specified K factors) If this option is selected, the provided k factors are used to calculate minor losses.
- Calculate & add them to the specified values If this option is selected, minor losses are calculated and added to the specified k factors.
