Analysing, checking and designing

The "Analysis" menu at the top of the program interface contains the options for carrying out the analyses, checks and designs of the installation:

Analysis

This allows you to analyse and check the installation using the data entered.

The program uses a method of calculating flow rates from the inflows at the wells to the outfall. For this reason, the network must be branched and have a single discharge point.

Once the process is complete, a dialogue box appears showing the analysis results.

In the workspace, once the analysis has been carried out, any spans that do not meet a particular constraint will be highlighted in red.

The program will display the "Maximum envelope", the "Minimum envelope" and the "Oscillation", which are added to the list of combinations. The term "envelopes" refers to the highest and lowest values in each section of all the defined combinations. The oscillation is the difference between the highest and lowest value envelopes.

To view the data and results for the various scenarios, combinations and envelopes, use the "Next combination", "Select combination" and "Previous combination" options at the top of the screen. The envelopes will only indicate whether all constraints are met for that span or not.

To find out why a section is non-compliant, you must select a combination and check the colour-coded "Legend" that appears in a separate window. The colour code indicates the reasons why the sections of the installation are non-compliant.

In the bar at the bottom of the interface, the label shows the name of the project and the loadcase, envelope or combination currently being displayed on screen.

Dimension

Launch the automatic preliminary design process for the installation. During the preliminary design, the program will attempt to optimise the design and select the minimum diameter that meets all speed and clearance constraints, whilst maintaining the selected material.

You can then assign the preliminary design results to the project and carry out the analyses.
