Irricad

Hi Nick,

What changed from v21 to v22? I never saw this until I started using v22.

Nothing on our side - we believe certain recent Microsoft (Windows) updates have changed something - but we don't know exactly what. It is rather frustrating!

Unfortunately this is an inherent limitation with Access databases, acknowledged by Microsoft themselves:

Warning Although you can save an Access database file to OneDrive or a SharePoint document library, we recommend that you avoid opening an Access database from these locations. The file may be ...

Hi Nick,

We'd like to understand, if we can, what is causing these errors. I appreciate it's difficult to send us a "bugged" file if you can't save it, but logs (as per Jo's post above) might be illuminating, if this error crops up again.

Even the AUDIT log (from the command line) which tells us ...

Why not just automatically run an AUDIT after RECOVERY? (Why is there an option?)

That would be ideal, but unfortunately it isn't possible. There is no real way to detect RECOVER from within the plugin - internally it just looks like you are opening a file. Indeed, in some situations Irricad may ...

Hi All,

Just to agree - AUDIT will be your best option to fix problematic files, if the problem is an Irricad one and can be repaired. If you find any problems that AUDIT cannot fix, please send them to us and we'll see if a fix can be added to the AUDIT command.

Nick, you are right - using ...

It is difficult to say without knowing the image format in question, but Irricad Standalone is certainly limited in the size of images it can display. Note this limitation is to do with allocatable video memory and thus relates to the physical image size (i.e. pixel dimensions) rather than the file ...

Hi Nick,

Thanks for this report - we'll fix this in the next release.

Hi Nick,

You can do this in the "Valve Specification Summary" dialog.

Remember you'll need to re-run design/analysis to update the names in the design files after renaming.

Hi Nick,

The images come from our web server and they cannot currently be easily customised.

In theory, you could save a KML file from Irricad and change the style file references to point at your own style file / images, but that requires a fair bit of work and background knowledge.

Hi All,

If you use Irricad’s Google Earth Import utility, you may have recently received an email from Google regarding changes to the way the Google Maps Platform is to be charged and billed.

This may raise concerns about unexpected costs due to your API usage. However, we believe that with ...

Hi Sergio,

The unit keywords texts (e.g. #LARGEFLOWUNIT#) are derived from the unit strings, which are fixed in all cases, as per what you can see in the unit settings. You can, nominally, just replace that directly with the string you want (i.e., instead of using the keyword #LARGEFLOWUNIT# just ...

Hi Nick,

It may help to save your preferred label configurations to file (via the Label Settings dialog), so that you can easily re-load them instead of manually changing the formats.

Also be aware that you can selectively update labels by making a selection before (re-)applying "Create Labels" (i ...

To clarify - do you mean the highest end of the flushing manifold, or the highest point on the manifold?

Without seeing your design in detail (e.g., pump arrangement etc.) I can only make general recommendations. The Irricad solver only evaluates elevations at the ends of pipes, so your observation is basically correct. To get Irricad to account for the elevation rise, place a junction in the pipeline ...

Hi Guilherme,

Prior to design, flows may be quoted in Irricad based on the nominal flows from the database e.g., SDR for tapes.
After the design process the actual flows are used where appropriate. You may have a mismatch between these in your database.

One thing to note, for instance, is that the ...

Hi Rubem,

While you can draw a tape with as many segments as required to form a pseudo-curve, this can be a lot of work.
However, Irricad can convert curved lines into polyline tapes that are a usually good representation:

You can also use the tape block tool to create a block of ...

Hi Ari,

Just an extra note...all the report functions have a "List" option which will give you access to the new reports without you needing (necessarily) to customize your menus and toolbars.

HI Ari,

1). Yes this is normal. Some changes were necessary in the latest version of Standalone to accommodate the Pivot module. The current version of Link doesn't know about the Pivot module, and thus gives errors. Unfortunately, there isn't really a very graceful way around this until we can ...

Hi Ari,

As per "Opening Version 21 Files in Other Versions of IRRICAD" in the Irricad Release notes, you first need to export your design from Standalone as an "AutoCAD Conversion File (*.daz)" using File|Export . This can then be imported into Link using the IRR_FILEIMPORT command Irricad Import ...

Hi Nick,

Yes it should work for any integer value. Note that that isn't the method used by the "round down" example though. That simply subtracts the remainder of dividing the number by the specified value (100) from the original value.
