Results Visualization

This feature allows users to create a profile plot along a selected path of connected pipes. The graph will display the elevation of the pipes and nodes along the path, as well as the calculated hydraulic grade line (HGL). This provides a clear visual representation of how pressure and energy vary across a section of the distribution system.

The application will feature dynamic, spreadsheet-style data grids for both viewing and editing model data and results. These grids will support powerful features like on-the-fly sorting, filtering, and bulk editing of data. This provides an efficient way to manage the large amounts of data associated with a hydraulic model.

Users will have full control over the visual representation of the network on the map. This includes the ability to customize the symbology for all element types, define color scales and ranges for thematic mapping, and control the style and placement of labels and annotations. This ensures that users can create clear, professional, and presentation-quality maps.

The application will provide a flexible and powerful graphing tool for visualizing simulation results. Users will be able to plot any output variable over time for any element, and critically, will be able to overlay results from multiple scenarios on a single graph for direct comparison.

To provide a system-wide view of simulation results, the application will be able to generate contour maps (isopleths) for any nodal output variable. This is most commonly used to create pressure contours, which help to visualize pressure gradients and identify high or low-pressure zones across the entire service area.

This specialized graph provides a system-wide overview of water balance over an extended period simulation. It will plot key system flows on a single chart, such as the total inflow from reservoirs, the total outflow to customers (demand), and the change in volume stored in tanks. This is useful for understanding the overall dynamics of the system.

A dedicated tool will be available to generate system head curves for any pump in the network. This graph plots the system's hydraulic resistance against flow, and when overlaid with the pump's performance curve, it allows engineers to visualize the pump's operating point. This is a standard and essential analysis for pump station design and evaluation.
