Pipe Manning's n Library

The Pipe Manning's n Library command allows you to store commonly used pipe types and their Manning's n values. The working pipe Manning's n data file is stored (by default) in the %AppData%\Carlson Software\...\User\Pipen.dta file and is available across all Carlson Software projects for both culvert design and sewer network design.

The Custom Properties function defines additional fields for each pipe material. Values for these fields can be entered into the Pipe Material Library. Then these fields are available in the Report Sewer Network command.

The New button creates a new pipe Manning's n entry while the Edit button allows you to modify the highlighted entry while the Delete button removes the highlighted pipe entry from the library. The Load and SaveAs buttons allow you to load and save the library data.
