To Map Drainage Structure Parameters for Gravity Network Analysis
You can map the parameters of parts created with Part Builder to parameters that are required for the Analyze Gravity Network command.
By mapping the parameters and applying them to the structures in existing pipe networks, you will not need to manually specify the values when you are using the Analyze Gravity Network command.
Note: Parameter mapping is required only for parts created with Part Builder. Parts created with the Infrastructure Parts Editor already have the parameters that are required for the Analyze Gravity Network command.
Note: With the addition of the ability to map drainage structure parameters, the
Use Frame Dimensions for Inlet Dimensions setting in the Edit Feature Settings - Structure dialog box has been removed.
To map drainage structure parameters and apply the mapping to existing pipe networks
Use the following method to map drainage structure parameters for the current pipe network catalog and apply the parameter mapping to structures in existing pipe networks.
On the
Home tab click
Create Design panel drop-down button
Map Drainage Structure Parameters
.
In the
Map Drainage Structure Parameters dialog box, specify whether you want to apply the parameter mapping to all fields of the parts in existing pipe networks, or whether you want to apply the parameter mapping to empty fields only.
Specify the mapping configuration for each part that needs to be mapped.
Click
OK twice to apply the mapping configuration to the parts in the drawing.
To map drainage structure parameters in a parts list
Use the following method to map drainage structure parameters in a parts list.
Note: This method does not apply the parameter mapping to existing structures in a drawing. To apply parameter mapping to existing structures in a drawing, use the
Map Drainage Structure Parameters command described above.
In Toolspace, on the
Settings tab, expand the
Pipe Network collection, and then expand the
Parts Lists collection.
Right-click the desired parts list and click
Edit Parts List. The Network Parts List dialog box is displayed.
To map drainage structure parameters during pipe network analysis
Use the following method to map drainage structure parameters while using the Analyze Gravity Network command and to apply the parameter mapping to structures in existing pipe networks.
Select the pipe network you want to analyze. You can select the network in the drawing or press Enter and select the pipe network from the Select Pipe Network dialog box.
After you select the pipe network, the
Analyze Gravity Network dialog box is displayed.
In the
Map Drainage Structure Parameters dialog box, specify whether you want to apply the parameter mapping to all fields of the parts in existing pipe networks, or whether you want to apply the parameter mapping to empty fields only.
Specify the mapping configuration for each part that needs to be mapped.
Click
OK twice to apply the mapping configuration to the parts in the drawing.
To specify default parameter mapping settings
Use the following method to set up default parameter mapping settings.
In Toolspace, on the
Settings tab, right-click the
Pipe Network
collection. Click
Edit Feature Settings to open the
Edit Feature Settings - Pipe Network dialog box.
Expand the
Catalog Parameter Mapping property group.
