Version: 9.1.20 (2009-01-27)

KANAL++:

• • Automatic symbol-alignment: If a symbol defined under Views has been as-signed to any water node, it is now aligned according to the conduits connected to the node. In the process the following correlations apply:
  i) if a node is situated on a conduit without dividing it (e.g. domestic connection, valve), its alignment depends on the orientation of this conduit.
  ii) If the node is the starting point or final point of exactly two conduits, the average angle of the two is used for the alignment.
  iii) If neither i) nor ii) apply, the symbol continues to be displayed without changes.
  • In the folder Model/natural rainfall within a calculation variant there is a new action, which enables to store the rainfalls saved in it as a time series and as a rainfall measurement station in the respective folder. The sense of this procedure is to use the obtained data for an area-specific precipitation, which is then entirely or partially suitable for any calculation variant. In favor of better handling, in the corresponding variant-dialogue the available rainfall numbers are now displayed in the Rain-tab.
  • Flexible weirs can now be defined by setting a maximum draw down of the weir’s top edge for the tank overflow structure. This value may not fall below the base height of the influent node in this case. Specifying such a parameter, the dialogue-field for the weir-height automatically changes into the aspired banking up. Like in the reality, this can only be arithmetically maintained at the moments when the outflow over the weir does not create overfall heights which are higher than the maximum draw down or also at an inchoate overfall linked with a backwater height which is higher than the aspired banking up.
  • Dyna.exe is no longer generated by means of the Compaq Fortran Compiler and has now been replaced by a version created with the Intel Fortran Compiler. This leads to clear advantages concerning runtime (30%) and memory (50-100%) and is the result of two years of tests. The stability of the calculation runs has been increased significantly once again. Furthermore a 64-bit version is available, which has access to a much higher address space on the operating systems Windows XP/Vista x64. This is necessary regarding large sewer networks, when the program draws a high number of flood, filling level, speed, shear stress and volume curves, in excess of the standard settings.
  • FLOW++DYNA: The relevance of the parameter TRMX for the long-time simulation during the recommended use of “Automatic” simulation time. TRMX is still used just in cases, in which a rainfall in the series does not in-clude a dry period. Otherwise it assumes the function to determine the simu-lation duration after the end of the rainfall, less the lead time, if the configured multiple of the dry weather volume has not been reached already some time before. If the simulation terminates with a requested network volume which is much higher than the dry weather volume, this is a hint that the used separat-ing time has not been quantified sufficiently. In this case the user has to de-cide whether the model should be configured once again with a new separat-ing time. On the other hand, double calculation of certain times by a possible chronological overlapping with the preliminary run of the following rainfall is automatically avoided.
  • KANAL++AQUA++GAS++: After carrying out a query, the result set inside the edit window is marked immediately from now on, as it is the more frequent practical use case.
  • Action Move node: A possibly existing structure outline is now moved around the same vector together with the node insertion point and the pipe connec-tion points.
  • Action „Move pipe connection point“: The Z-coordinate is now also trans-formed accordingly. At special structures regarding the base, in all other cases concerning the slope.
  • As DYNA expects peripheral pipe connection points at special structures, from now on a warning message is shown if centered points are present at a structure at the time of the calculation. Double-clicking on the message, the situation can be easily resolved. However the program continues to calculate with an excessive volume, unless it is stopped by he user manually through the icon [x]. Automatic conversion in peripheral points would be too complex, as too many special cases would have to be taken into consideration or be-cause unknown degeneration could develop.
  • The action “Sewer system Analysis...“ has been extended by the option “Conduits with unsynchronized status of the RAP-base height. After starting such an analysis, you find all conduits for which at least one connection height is configured as centered, but for which the connection position coor-dinate can be found at the inner wall of the connection node. This situation can be rectified just by changing the respective attribute of the base height accordingly, or by converting the base height regarding the slope. For this purpose there is a button in the dialogue-tab Conduit – Geometry. For the other, inverse case there is the possibility to rectify the situation automatically by means of the action “Conduit Move pipe connection point  automatic)”. To do this, a set of points with suitable peripheral connection points near the concerned conduits has to be provided.
