Beginning with Pipe2010, stunning visual presentations can be created using animated contours. Contours can be created using any quantitative node input or output parameter. The animation below shows the node pressure contours for a 24-hour Extended Period Simulation, along with numerical labels. Contours can be customized: this includes the colors chosen for the color ramp, the transparency, and the contour style (hatched lines, solid colors, etc.)
Pipes can also be emphasized using the same colors as nodes. As an example, pressure contours for time 7.5 could be displayed simultaneously with the color emphasis of node demands at time = 7.5, and color emphasis of pipe flows at time = 10.25.
Animations can be saved as AVI, Animated GIF and MP4 files.
