PRD Curve Data Fields

This table lists all the data fields for a Pressure Related Demand Curve. Some of them can be viewed and edited on the PRD Curve Grid View of the Nodes Grid.

There are a number of built in curves displayed in the PRD Curve Grid View. Fields cannot be edited for built in curves.

Once a User Defined curve has been added to the PRD Curve Grid View, fields can be viewed and edited on the PRD Curve Property Sheet, which also displays a graph of the curve.

Further information, including units details, about all the Network Object fields stored in the database can be found in the Network Data Fields topic.

Note: Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the table to view its entire content.

Power Law Exponent

Available when creating a user defined PRD Curve. Check the Power check box to automatically generate a curve using the Power Law. A default Power Law Exponent of 1.118 will be used. Change the Power value if required and click Apply to recalculate the curve.

The recommended range of Power values is 0.5 to 1.5. Curve. Check the Power check box to automatically generate a curve using the Power Law. A default Power Law Exponent of 1.118 will be used. Change the Power value if required and click Apply to recalculate the curve.
