Inlet Details for Part Builder Structures
Use these settings to define default values for parts that do not currently have these values applied. These values are applicable to parts created with the Part Builder and are used by the Analyze Gravity Network command for inlet analysis calculations.
- Grate Width
- Specifies the default grate width for grate or combination inlets. This dimension is perpendicular to flow along the gutter.
- Grate Length
- Specifies the default grate length for grate or combination inlets. This dimension is in the direction of flow along the gutter.
- Grate Open Area
- Specifies the default grate open area for grate or combination inlets. This is the area between the bars of the grate through which water can flow.
- Curb Opening Height
- Specifies the curb opening height for curb or combination inlets.
- Curb Opening Length
- Specifies the curb opening length for curb or combination inlets.
Gutter Detail Defaults
The Gutter Detail Defaults settings are not physical properties of the inlet structure but rather are properties of the roadway area around the inlet. They are used by the Analyze Gravity Network command for inlet analysis calculations for grate inlets, curb inlets, or combination inlets.
- Road Sx
- Specifies the road cross slope.
- Gutter Sw
- Specifies the gutter cross slope.
- Gutter Width
- Specifies the gutter width.
- Longitudinal Slope
- Specifies the slope along the road at the inlet. This property is used for on-grade inlets.
- Gutter n Value
- Specifies the roughness of the gutter material (usually a type of concrete).
- Local Depression
- Specifies the elevation difference between the inlet opening and the gutter when the inlet is depressed.
