    pipe surge analysis software

    I know Benley Hammer and H20 Surge, do you guys have any idea, which one is better? I know H2O Surge is AutoCAD based, which makes model building easier. While Bentley Hammer is stand alone. any comments are welcome.

    Demand allocation at WaterCAD

    For example, I have a subdivision, it has a master meter, the monthly bill showed 72,000 gallon per day, that equals to 50 gpm average flow. There is a internal water network inside the subdivision, how can I allocate the 50 gpm to the nodes? the WaterCAD book introduces me to use GIS spatial...

    control valve setting-water distribution system.

    can we change a setup value of the control valve automatically? by using solenoid control? for example, I have a pressure sustaining valve, I want the setting change by time, like, from 0-4am, the setting is 80 psi, 4-8am, the setting is 70 psi, 8am-12pm, the setting is 60 psi. thanks.

    pipe minor loss coefficient

    when you guys do pressure pipe model, do you predefine the pipe minor loss coefficient? I always use 1.5, no matter what pipe size, length. Today, when I read a report prepared by another engineering firm, they put 0. what is you guys' suggestion?

    WaterCAD questions

    I have two major Questions: 1) what is the function of Zone? I am using a three pipe template to learn WaterCAD, I changed the zone for a junction, it did not change the modeling results. does that mean WaterCAD only use zone to label the junctions? also, why pipe has no Zone information? 2) I...
