Zone Design Configuration - Number of Lateral Sizes

Hi IrriCad Team,

I have had a request to increase the maximum number of lateral sizes available (from 3 to 4) in the Zone Design Configuration menu.

Can you please advise.

Kind Regards,

Hi Matt

Thank you for the suggestion.
There are currently no plans to do this in the future as a completely new method of calculation would need to be developed (the current method cannot be updated to allow for four sizes).

Our feeling is if you require four lateral sizes then it is probably best to use "unconnected " laterals which can potentially give you a different lateral size between each emitter. Remember to turn off Minor Losses in the Zone Design Configuration table so as to not over-compensate for friction loss down the sprayline.
