Exchange methods enabled to be run from the WS Pro interface
Several methods previously reserved for use in Exchange are now enabled to be run from the interface. This improves the process of testing and collaborating with teams using the Ruby script database objects.
The following methods are now available to be run from the UI:
- WSApplication methods for managing application settings like default units, flags, and working folders.
- WSCommit and WSCommits methods for interrogating commit information on version-controlled objects.
- WSNumbatNetworkObject methods for version control.
New Ruby script methods for scenario management
Several new ruby script methods have been introduced to further enable data management:
- Compare and compare_scenarios – Enables teams to find all differences between two networks or two scenarios, similar to the compare tools in the UI.
- duplicate_scenario_into_network – Enables teams to quickly extract and share a scenario into a new flattened copy of a Network and Control.
- reintegrate_scenario – Reintegrates selected scenario as the new Base.
- associated_control_id, associated_demand_diagram_id, and associated_live_data_configuration_id – Enables teams to associate Control, Demand Diagram, and Live Data object with Network as defaults.
Modified Hazen-Williams Friction Method
The Modified Hazen-Williams equations are now available as a friction method for pressure losses in links. When selecting this method, the corresponding link(s) will use a new Modified Hazen-Williams C value for roughness.
Edit Geometry Tool for any layer type
The Edit Geometry Tool has now been generalized to work with any layer type. After selecting the tool, select any object to begin editing its geometry. With this capability, you no longer need to select each layer type in the drop-down menu before editing objects.
Ground Model TIF Import
Gridded ground models can now be imported from .tif and .tiff data formats. Select import from Ground model grid files on a Ground Model Grid Group folder to import from various file types.
