Model Build
INTRODUCTION
HM Manager Overview Applies to the spatial version of Netbase Provides the complete modelling solution: Fully integrated with EPAnet & Piccolo Integrates Netbase with Water Distribution Modelling Software Provides a complementary modelling solution to: WaterGEMS Infoworks Aquis SynerGEE Streamlines & automates the data transfer processes between Netbase and models
HMManager Data Model Network Assets & Attributes Topological Hierarchical network model Profiles Library Scenario Controls Database Centrally Managed Support for multiple users (on the same model)
User Interface Ribbon Toolbar The Model Register
Main Interface and Tools Register Window Data Maintenance Model Definition Monitored Data & Demand Operational Controls Simulation Analysis HM Manager features The tools in the software are organised into toolbars of 8 main categories. This allows easy access to the user of the tools depending on the stage of the model build or calibration process. Some built in wizards also exist in the software to provide guidance to users.

Missing Attributes Netbase has two types of attributes Imported Copied from source data Validated Validated version of the imported valves that is not overwritten by updates Referencing Support for multiple references
Validation Types of validation Infill Based on surrounding pipes Lookup Internal Diameter and Roughness based on client and manufactures data
Internal Diameter
Set the Internal Diameter External Diameter Wall Thickness Based on External Diameter Size Class Year Laid Internal Diameter

Monitoring Points Monitoring points are linked to SCADA If the point exists in Netbase no set-up is required Not all monitoring points break pipes or are at junctions If you break the pipe it causes a problem when updating the model Surrogate Monitoring Points Find the nearest connected node so the pipe is not broken

Node Demands
Area Data Imported from Netbase Used to build base demands Managed as part of the model build and update
Base Demand Sets Consumption data is aggregated to nodes and areas Area data is imported from Netbase Characteristics History PCC Leakage Rate Grouped into Base Demand Sets Each mode can have multiple Base Demand Sets
Base Demand Analysis Built in base demand analysis tools No need to use spreadsheets or other programs
Base Demand Analysis Nodes Number of properties Number of households Number of connections Length of mains Non-household Demand Areas Total Demand Household consumption Leakage Rate

Scenario Profiles Averaging an extended period of data to produce a typical profile Seasonal (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) Range (User define period e.g. Peak Day) Days Weekday Weekend Average Bulk Processing
Profiles Library Generate Demand Profiles Create an Analysis Group
Demand Analysis There are multiple methods of Demand Analysis Total - all inclusive Total - separate leakage Total - separate individual customers Total - separate individual customers and leakage Individual demand option
Demand Analysis Calculating a Domestic Profile Net Profile from Profiles Library AZP profiles created in LATIS Assign standard non-household unit profiles Use Area Consumption to convert to am Calculate the Leakage Profile Derive the Domestic Profile

Demand Analysis
Monitored Data and Demand PROFILE SCENARIO
Profile Scenario The profiles scenario configures the profile shapes and volumes that will be exported to the hydraulic modelling software. The profile shapes come from the profiles library and the volumes come from the selected base demand set. The configuration of the profile shapes and volumes can match those that were generated in the analysis group Or The user can select a generic set of base demands and profile shapes.
