An overview of the steps required to run a time/WQ simulation project on a network using Wadiso is given below:

•Enter or retrieve, and view the system’s steady state data.

•Run a steady state analysis, i.e. balance the system.

•View and study the steady state results.

•Enter or retrieve the time/WQ simulation data.

•Run the time/WQ simulation.

•View and interpret the time/WQ simulation results.

 

Entering the time/WQ simulation data can be further divided into the following steps:

•Specify the Times-, Quality-(*), Reactions-(*), and Energy Settings.

•Enter Time Patterns.

•Assign Time Patterns to nodal water demand categories.

•Specify Tank Parameters.

•Specify Link Controls (Time-Based, Simple or Rule-Based).

•Specify Water Quality sources(*).

•Indicate Initial Status for all links.

•Indicate Initial Water Quality for all nodes(*).

•Save the time/WQ simulation-specific data in a time/WQ data file.

•Save the system-specific time/WQ data with the system data.

 

* Steps marked with an asterisk (*) relate to Water Quality modelling only. These steps can be omitted and defaults used, if only a hydraulic time simulation analysis is required.
