SNUM


The command SNUM renumbers the selected network

To use, call SNUM from the command line, menu, toolbar or Ribbon. You will be asked to click the network to be renumbered:

Next, you will be asked to review the numbering options, which are in the network properties:

The numbering process involves updating all project labels. Use the numbering template tagging properties to compose the device name as highlighted in the image above

Numbering can be of several types:

  1. Drainage Networks and Sewage Networks
    1. Global
      In this numbering mode the program will number the structures starting from the farthest from the unloading point, assigning that the initial number and descending to this. The numbering will be incremented by one unit.
      If the next structure to be numbered receives more than one pipe coming in, the numbering skips to the furthest point upstream of this structure and descend towards it. proceeding from there to the discharge point or until you reach another structure that has more than one pipe upstream.
      In this way, the flow is always from a smaller number to a larger one. In the worksheet Nodes will be able to identify an extension change, when in the column that informs the numbering section has a pair of numbers whose difference between them is not equal to one.

    2. By Section
      In this numbering mode, the program will start at the farthest structure assigned to this the ONE number, and define this branch with the starting number. Keep numbering them until the point of discharge, incrementing the frame number by one for each frame. When you reach the unloading point, the numbering of structures restarts on the second branch farthest from the discharge point, assigning the number UM to this and incrementing the extension number by one. In the example, enter parentheses is the extension number and outside the parentheses is the structure number.
    3. Inverted
      Numbering starts at the discharge node and continues to the most distant element.
      Then it includes this number as a prefix to the subsections.

    4. Family
      It is similar to normal type numbering, but each structure type will have its own numbering. The type is given by PartSubtype of the structure.


  2. Pressure Networks
    1. General - A generic numbering encompassing point and linear devices
      Use when you haven't finished casting the net yet and need to see device labels more clearly, for example
    2. Occasional First - It consists of transforming the mesh networks into branched networks in a fictitious way.


      The following script illustrates how it is done
      1. The reservoirs or water supply points are located
      2. Trace the shortest path from each network node to this reservoir
      3. Order the nodes with their paths, by the number of path items
      4. Count the number of nodes served by this reservoir (or water intake in the pipeline)
      5. Assign this number to the reservoir
      6. For each node in the ordered list, starting from the reservoir, assign the numbers in descending order until the end of the longest path
      7. Proceed to the other nodes, skipping the count when the node has already been numbered in the previous steps

      This procedure will indicate the fictitious sections, transforming the meshed network into a branched network
      The nodes will be numbered descending and the sections (pipes) will have a name formed by the numbers of the nodes connected to it
    3. Point and Linear - Uses the same fictitious sectioning procedure above, except that the sections will be numbered together with the nodes, that is, will follow the same descending numbering starting from the reservoir

  3. Generic Networks
    Generic Networks do not have any specific numbering algorithm, so only general and sequential numbering can be applied to devices.

Note: Networks that are in the current drawing and are external references, cannot be numbered. You must do it in the original file where the network was created

Note: To be able to Use this command, a license is required.
