Introducing network models
Identify a network model and describe how it is used to simulate scenarios of pressurized water distribution systems.
A network model, also referred to as simply a “model,” is comprised of all the digital information that represents a pressurized water distribution system. These digital representations are used to simulate different scenarios, such as large-scale hydraulics.
- In InfoWorks WS Pro, the model is a combination of:
- a network
- a control
- a demand diagram file
- A model can represent an entire supply area or only a subset of an area.
- Network models can be calibrated to represent a particular day or scenario, such as average, peak, or future demand.
- When a model simulation runs, the results depict data, such as flow and pressure. Results can be visualized on a map, as tables, grids, or graphs. The results can also be used to run statistical queries.
