Introducing Automatic Calibration
Describe how the automatic calibration functionality works within InfoWorks WS Pro.
InfoWorks WS Pro provides an automatic calibration facility.
There are some elements that are not accounted for in Auto-Calibration, including partially closed valves, inefficient pumps, and incorrect PRV or PSV settings.
Prerequisites for network model calibration include pressure verdicts listed as Fair and Good since auto-calibration should not be used if an accurate flow balance is not achieved:
Auto-calibration offers certain benefits:
The auto-calibration method is based on a repetitive user-defined snapshot analysis that includes pressure observation points:
The algorithm used is based on common engineering practice:
