 The KYPIPE engine provides a fast and accurate calculation of a variety of design, operating and calibration parameters for pipe distribution networks. Pipe system parameters are calculated to exactly satisfy stated pressure requirements at designated locations in the piping system for a range of operating conditions. This offers a basis for determining the "optimum" values for the various design, operating and calibration parameters in the sense that the parameters are calculated to just meet the specified pressure conditions. This will allow you to provide sound decision making and to conceive and evaluate efficient and reliable alternatives or recommendations with reference to suggested or required system performance.With the addition of the Direct Parameter Calculation capability, KYPipe becomes a comprehensive distribution network analyzer. It has widespread applications associated with the design, operation, and calibration of pipe distribution networks. It allows a wide variety of pipe system parameters and any of their combinations to be determined while meeting specified system performance criteria. These criteria represent specified pressure requirements at designated junction nodes throughout the distribution network for specified operating conditions. The ability of the KYPipe engine to carry out direct parameter calculations provides a major step forward in hydraulic distribution network modeling. With this capability you can rapidly carry out a variety of calculations which previously required a repetitious trial and evaluation approach that is impractical. |

Pipe2010 includes special setup menus to simplify the use of this powerful capability. Simple to use logical text input fields allow the user to specify a constraint calculation to answer design questions such as "what is the (demand, pump speed, valve setting, etc.) required to maintain a certain pressure? (see Constraints Data below). |
 |
| Constraint Data |
| A template is provided for the setup and application of constraints. Five entries are required as shown in the above example. |
|
If a group is selected then two additional entries are required
|
| Pipe2010 provides the capability to set up and recall groups and a Constraint. Group data entry is provided for all nodes and pipes. |
