Also, prior to polygons from drawing files importing, it is important that you set respective default or common properties here.<\/li>\n<li>Similarly, in the <strong>Surface System and Sewers Network<\/strong> tabs are the default properties that will be assigned to each new Street Point, street, or channel, and for each Manhole and sewer pipe section to be drawn in the drawing area.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, there are <strong>the options for calculation and design<\/strong> used specifically for the stormwater sewers networks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The field values below the title <strong>Design velocities<\/strong> are used as a reference in the sewer pipes table, to highlight those sections that violate these limits in the columns for full section velocity and real velocity.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, only the full section velocity is used in calculations related to the automatic design options.<\/p>\n<p>Note that there are two criteria for a sewer network\u2019s automatic design: <strong>fixing the minimum sewers\u2019 longitudinal slope<\/strong> and, the most recommended,<strong> setting a design value for the relationship between the real flow and the maximum capacity<\/strong> of the pipe section.<\/p>\n<p>The Cross Sections Manager is one of the additions in our storm sewer design software\u2019s new version.<\/p>\n<p>This manager will allow you, as you see, <strong>to choose among five types of cross sections<\/strong> to be assigned to streets or channels at the surface drainage system of any project you create in the software.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, depending on your criteria and the purpose of your design, <strong>before you start to create the superficial system\u2019s components, you must define here the typical cross sections<\/strong> that you expect to use.<\/p>\n<p>Once created, you&#8217;ll see them listed in the Streets\/Channels panel at the surface drainage tab, in order to select from there whichever applies as you build the system.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the <strong>Drainage Inlets Manager<\/strong> is to define the typical rainfall interception devices in your project.<\/p>\n<p>Here you will find,\u00a0\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hidrasoftware.com\/en\/types-of-drain-inlets-for-stormwater-collection-available-in-dren-urba\/\">besides the eight drainage inlets<\/a> we had included in the first version, five new types <\/strong>to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Among others, you will see <b>that it is now possible to introduce the Interception flow tables for any drainage inlet type,<\/b> either as a function of the approaching flow to the inlet or as a function of the upstream\u2019s calculated water depth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Also, drainage inlets in sag points have been added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">In the case of the <b>grate inlet in a sag<\/b>, in addition to the geometrical parameters necessary to determine the intercepted flow based on the orifice formula, you can specify a percentage of reduction in its efficiency, in case you want to set a safety factor for any possible grate obstruction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Also, you must enter what the relationship is between the grates free or flow area and its total area for the calculation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Now you find the Project\u00b4s Pipe Library Manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">This is the same one that is built into our software CLOACAS and, as you see, it lets you define in principle the <b>range of possible pipes diameters according to their class<\/b> or structural strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">For this, fields are included for you <b>to specify the minimum and maximum burial depths to which each diameter can be placed<\/b>, based on the selected bedding class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Similarly, for the purposes of automatic design, the option to <b>set the priority of selection of the bedding class <\/b>is available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Finally, you will see that, for each diameter at each pipe library, it is possible to specify the <b>unit cost per unit length of pipe<\/b>, which will serve to estimate the sewer network\u2019s total cost once the calculation of the amounts of respective materials is done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The <b>intensity duration frequency curves<\/b> button lets you create in the project, the design intensity curves for one or more return periods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Once you have created those curves in any project, you will see, at the top of this panel, the list of associated return periods, so that you can select the one to take in the calculation and design of the urban drainage system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Finally, you will see a button that leads to the<b> parameters for calculating the Project\u00b4s amount of work and materials.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">These options are focused on the stormwater sewers networks as they are, essentially, the ones to be designed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Among the CLOACAS tutorials in our blog, you will find more detail on the individual tabs included in this dialog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a
