Sewer Network (pipe network training)
Sewer Network Design and Analysis
Sewer network design is done in a very similar manner as the stormwater network design. The main differences are:
- Flows are often lower
- Minimum and maximum velocities are very important for pipes self-clearing
- Inflows are calculated from income groups, parcel area or building area
If you want to learn sewer network design, watch the sewer overview videos first just to get a feeling how everything fits together:

Rodding Eyes
In the older templates, the rodding eyes' visual appearance was more like a manhole, in the newer templates the rodding eyes have a more realistic visual appearance:
The visual representation in the profile view is also more realistic:
