Q: Pipe Decision (Scripted) [WDS O5.5]: Water Distribution Main Replacement & PRV Setting Optimization w/ Fire-Flow Considerations

General Project Background: This decision example is based on a utility that was utilizing Optimizer WDS to determine the optimal pipe size configurations to implement as a part of their organization's water mains replacement plan within the broader Capital Improvment Plan (CIP). The engineers wanted to consider a range of pipe sizes for non-dead-end service lines, and the design needed to be tested under fireflow conditions assessed at hydrants throughout the network model. Watch the video below for a walk through of the Pipe Decision (Scripted) component of the formulation. An Optimatics Strategic Support Team (SST) member will explain the decision as well as the strategy used to implement it for this specific use case.

Question 5

How do you change the order in which the planning criteria are displayed?

Accepted Answer

Adjusting the order in which your planning criteria are displayed within the Plan Editor can help with organizing the form in which you visualize your simulation results. And within the Optimizer interface, making adjustments to this organization is very easy.

STEP 1: Make sure that you are either in the Model Workflow or the Formulate Workflow steps.

STEP 2: Follow the instructions shown below on how to utilize the Move Up and Move Down buttons.
