Revit Based HydraCALC (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)
Description:
Calc process gets stuck on step 5a.3b
The selected system data includes only Mains.
Important Background
for understanding this problem:
The AutoCALC process collects all of the pipes that you’ve selected (in no particular order) and performs a mathematical calculation to determine the flow and pressure loss in every pipe. This first calculation is subsequently used to organize the pipes into a logical order to display in the HydraCALC input program and ultimately for the final submittal printouts. This organization process also depends on starting at the most remote head presuming that it is on a LINE. A resulting characteristic of this problem is that it will be possible to perform that 1st calculation and not the organization process. Therefore. It is at least possible to get the total flow and pressure required using the new features
But the actual submittal calculations will require the
solution described.
Ensure that the mapped piping includes at least some branch
lines.
