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.

  1. On the Home tab click Create Design panel drop-down button Map Drainage Structure Parameters .
  2. 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.
  3. Click Mapping Configuration to display the Drainage Structure Parameter Mapping Configuration dialog box.
  4. Specify the mapping configuration for each part that needs to be mapped.
  5. 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.
  1. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand the Pipe Network collection, and then expand the Parts Lists collection.
  2. Right-click the desired parts list and click Edit Parts List. The Network Parts List dialog box is displayed.
  3. Click the Structures tab.
  4. Expand the parts list to see the part families that are included in the list.
  5. In the Structure Type column, click the structure icon to display the Drainage Structure Parameter Mapping Configuration dialog box.
  6. Specify the mapping configuration for the part.
  7. Click OK.

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.

  1. Click Analyze tab Design panel Analyze Gravity Network Find.
  2. 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.

  3. Click Network Details to open the Network Details page.
  4. Click Map Structure Parameters.
  5. 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.
  6. Click Mapping Configuration to display the Drainage Structure Parameter Mapping Configuration dialog box.
  7. Specify the mapping configuration for each part that needs to be mapped.
  8. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Expand the Catalog Parameter Mapping property group.
  3. In the Structure Type and Dimension Mappings field, click to display the Drainage Structure Parameter Mapping Configuration dialog box.
  4. Specify the mapping configuration for each part that needs to be mapped.
  5. Click OK twice.
