Import Wadiso

Import Wadiso V4 data files.

This function allows you to import Wadiso V4 data files. Existing projects can be imported from Wadiso version 4. The Wadiso 4 files need to be in the ASCII (.ASC) file format.

Procedure

1. The Open window displays.

2. Browse for the relevant file. Once selected, click Open to accept the import option.

3. Once you have imported the Wadiso file, you need to configure certain parameters. The following changes automatically take place during import:

• Nodes are imported without any changes.

• For pipes, Hazen-Williams friction coefficients are converted to absolute roughness.

• Tanks are imported as reservoirs. Reservoir capacity is not available in Wadiso, so it must be entered manually afterwards.

• Pump characteristics in Wadiso are given as a summary of head-flow curves. If there are several pumps in a pump station, the characteristics for each pump have to be adjusted manually. Pump efficiency is not available in Wadiso.

• Pressure reducing valves are converted to valves without pressure control.
