This command will read a sewer network (.SEW) file, which contains
inverts elevations, rim elevations and pipe sizes, and draw the network
as a profile, using the standard prompting in Draw Profile. In the
options dialog, you can select the structure names for the start and
end of the profile and set the profile direction as either upstream or
downstream. The Save To Profile File option will save the sewer profile
to a .pro file in addition to drawing the profile. When the Save option
is active, there is another option available to Link Profile To Sewer
Network. This Link option will update the sewer profile drawing when
the sewer network structures are modified. The Draw Pipe Lateral
Connections will draw ellipses at the profile structures for any
additional pipes that connect to the structure. The Draw Hydraulic and
Energy Grade Line options use the hydraulic flow calculations to draw
those additional profiles. The Draw Existing and Design Surface options
will prompt for a surface grid or triangulation file to draw on the
profile.
Consider the Sewer Trunk Line shown in the plan view below:
When this network main sewer line is entered using Locate Sewer
Structure,
starting at the upstream rim elevation of 1369.73 and running downhill
to
1328.54, a new .SEW file is created. Prompting asks you to select a
starting
structure. If you created 5 structures named A1 through A5, you could
choose
A1 to plot all 5. This file will then plot, in profile view, as shown
below
(this example was drawn without ground surface or hydraulic grade
lines).
If you pick Draw Existing Ground Surface, you will be prompted
for
the grid or triangulation file for the ground surface, and similarly if
you
turn on Draw Design Surface.
