Hi everyone,
I'm building a ductile iron pressure network and I'm a little bit lost in finding the best workflow to follow.
I've followed these steps.
First iv'e created the parts catalogue using the ductile iron part family. I've set the cut length to 6 m and the deflection angle to 3 deg as by contructo specs.
I've created the pipe run from a 2d polyline that represents the pipeline path.
I've set the pipe run profile to "Cut Length" assigning a 1.5 m offset from the surface.
So far so good, my roblem is now to manage the deflection angles. As u can see, doig a design check i have a lot of warnings that tell me that in many cases the 3° degrees deflection angle limit is being broken. Since the pipeline is quite long (6 km) and there are more than 180 warnings only in the first 2 km i'd like to find a way to quickly edit the vertical profile in order to adjust the profile to comply with the 3 degrees limit.
Should i work by punctual profile overrides? Or should I assign a profile override to a range of stations? Or is there a way to automatically impose to the pipe network the respect of this limit.
I'm getting very confused and frustrated because i'm taking so long to do perform this task and i feel like i'm not doing it in the proper way.
Thank you
Francesco
P.S. I've noticed that often the warning is referred to values of angular deflections that are not detectable nor in plan or in profile, the most evident example was a warning for a 163 deg angle deviation value in a quasi-linear trait both in plan and profile. Any idea for this behaviour?
