Standalone HydraCALC (Location)

Description:

A grid system was processed from HydraCAD to HydraCALC but the calc file did not have L (left) and R (right) markers for autopeaking.

 

 

 

Solutions:

Cause:

Sprinkers were likely setup as drops/sprigs but the equivalent k option was not selected in the Calc Setup screen of HydraCAD.

Solution:

L and R markers for auto peaking will not be added if the k-factor for the sprinkler head is on an Input Type [SPRIG], [DROP] or [AOVER]

An L/R marker will only be added when a k-factor is on an Input Type [LN-G]

QUICK REMINDER:

Do NOT run autopeak if your grid system is not typical.  This includes sprinkler heads which are not at the same elevation along your gridline, different lengths between sprinkler heads, different fittings between sprinkler heads (ie. going around a skylight), etc.
