WATER NETWORK & TRANSMISSION LINES DRAWING and MODELLING PROGRAM

msSu is a water network, transmission lines drawing and modelling software which can make hydraulic modelling, developed for municipalities, utility authorities, infrastructure establishments, civil and enviromental engineering, contractor companies and GIS applications.

MicroStation Support

Developed by the programming language of Microstation, MDL(Microstation Development Language), msSu can perform advanced element drawings, calculation and design, modifications and database processes in a fast and flexible way with the strenght of Microstation on graphic and non-graphic media. This software runs on versions of Microstation V8, XM and 8i and can be upgraded for new versions.

Strong Visual Planning

Planning can be easily made by the elements (node, pipe, catchment area, pump) in the project and the system that is created can be seen immediately. In this way, not only the draft structure but also the main skeleton of the system is established and data for calculation and design can be prepared in a short time.

Create Elements

MsSu does not only place the elements, also creates needed data belonging to the elements in database immediately.

DTM (Digital Terrain Model) (Optional)

With the DTM property of msSu, there is no need for inputting node ground elevation by interpolation manually on digital maps. If DTM of the region exists, manhole ground elevation belonging to the node points will be inputted automatically in the model and written into the database as the nodes are placed.

Flexible Parameters and Settings

- Node names can be linked to a counter automatically,
- Standart sized pipes with the required diameter and material and its properties can be defined in a pipe catalogue, only required ones can be taken into consideration while designing and different pipe catalogues can be created,
- Settings can be done for element placing and any change on these settings is possible during the preparation of the project,
- Properties of the elements such as color, thickness, line style, layer and font can be defined and changed as desired,
- Catchment area types, that is used for flow rate calculations of water, can be defined in catchment area criteria, properties like density and water consumption can be changed.


Calculation and Design

- Calculations with the formulas of Darcy/Colebrook, William-Hazen,
- Calculations and designs done for death point method and branch method for networks,
- Flow rate calculations done by population density coefficient, catchment area method,
- Upon selection the the catchment area criteria method, values like unit flow rate, population, peak-day, peak-hour, coefficient and fire flow values can be changed before calculations, or can be redefined and redesigned again and again,
- Flow direction of the pipes in the system can be configurated by “Sort Pipe” command before designing,
- In design, criterias like velocity, minimum and maximum pressure, velocity tolerance can be changed and redefined for each diameter.


Additional Flow rates

Additional flow rates, that will be taken into consideration in the future, can be defined and proceeding the design with these considered data is possible

User Intervention

The results calculated in the design can be edited and modified in the system. For instance user can edit the the diameter of the pipe calculated in the design and use this new value for calculation, invert elevations of inlet and outlet pipes can be locked or pipe status can be turned into existing system pipe etc

Profile

- Profile of all projects in transmission lines, can be taken automatically at once, can be saved into other drawing files and printed out.
- Elevation and gradient of node and pipe editings can be made directly on the transmiisın profiles automatically,

Calculation, Construction and Transmission Plans

Hydraulic, construction and transmission plans of networks can be automatically taken.

Superposition

Shall the wastewater and stormwater models designed by msKanal, superposition points of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater networks can be analysed and drawn on profiles.

Changes and Reports

Required changes are possible after input of the elements. For instance, node elevation and name or diameter and material of a pipe. Upon change, both database and design model are updated on the screen at the same time.

Node Point Details, Calculation Reports

Calculation reports, statistic reports (diameter, pipe lenght, quantity of node points), node point details, bend lists, bill of quantities of whole or any desired region can be generated and printed out.

Automatic Element Placement

Surveyed nodes and pipes with an existing information (coordinates, elevations, pipe size diameter etc)can be created with database information drawn with the praphical element (Creating both graphic and database information by a single click).

Visual, Thematic Colorization

Results of the model can be turned into a coloured thematic visual maps on the basis of node, pipe and area and calculated fields like velocity, pressure

Water Hammer Calculations

Calculation of water hammer can be observed.

About MsSu

MsSu software is a drawing and designing module for drinking water networks and transmissions, developed by turkish programmers and engineers. MsSu runs under versions of Microstation V8, XM, 8i and is an essential for municipalities that has activities on infrastructure and transmission.
