Volume Curve

A volume curve determines how the volume of the Epanet Tank varies depending on the water level

This curve has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Description (Description, String) - Use a user-friendly description when the item name is not sufficient
  • Name (Name, String) - item name
    Avoid names that are too long or contain the following characters: '*', '>', '<', '/', '\', '"', ':', ';', '|', '=', '`', '#', ',', '?'
• Object
  • Priority (Priority, Enum) - Information regarding the item's current status. Can be:
    • Neutral: no issues
    • Critical: A problem preventing the calculation or use of the item
  • Error Evaluation (CurveError, Enum) Result of the data evaluation
  • Curve Data (CurveData, IListClonavel) - the curve data, with the following columns:
    • Height (X, Double) - the water height
    • Value (Y, Double) - the volume to be considered

The data are entered into the table and plotted on the graph for better visualization:

It is used when it is necessary to accurately represent tanks whose cross-sectional area varies with height. The lower and upper water levels provided for the curve must contain the lower and upper levels between which the tank operates.
