Connections Tab (Structure Properties Dialogue Box)

Use this tab to make adjustments to pipes that are connected to a single structure. This tab also lists the catchments that reference the structure.

The Connections tab lets you quickly view and edit properties that are important for pipes connected to structures. For example, you can use this tab to edit the following properties on pipes connected to the selected structure:

You can use this tab to quickly perform a variety of edits to pipes that are connected to a structure. You can align the levels on multiple pipes connected to the structure according to the invert, soffit, or centerline level of a selected pipe.

The following information describes the properties that are displayed on the Connections tab.

Connected Pipes

Name

Displays the name of the current structure and each pipe connected to it. Read-only.

Status

Displays the current status of each pipe connected to the structure. Read-only.

Description

Displays the description of each pipe connected to the structure. Read-only.

Inner Diameter

Specifies the inner diameter for circular pipes. Editable.

Inner Width

Specifies the inner width for non-circular (rectangular) pipes. Editable.

Inner Height

Specifies the inner height for non-circular (rectangular) pipes. Editable.

Invert Level

Specifies the invert level of the pipe. Editable.

Centerline Level

Specifies the centerline level of the pipe. Editable.

Soffit Level

Specifies the soffit level of the pipe. Editable.

Gradient

Specifies the gradient of the pipe coming out of the structure. Read-only.

In/Out

Displays the flow direction of the pipe, indicating if the pipe flows in to or out of the structure. Read-only.

From Structure

Displays the name of the structure at the other end of the pipe. Read-only.

Connected Catchments

Displays the catchments that are connected to the structure.

If no catchments are connected to the structure, you can enter catchment values directly into the Area, Time of Concentration and Weighted Run-off Coefficient fields.

Name

Displays the name of the current structure and each catchment connected to it.

Area

Displays the area of each catchment and the total area of the connected catchments.

Time of Concentration

Displays the time of concentration of each catchment and the longest time of concentration for all of the connected catchments.

Weighted Run-off Coefficient

Displays the run-off coefficient of each catchment and the weighted run-off coefficient for all of the connected catchments.
