Consumption Sector

One Consumption Sector is an element that concentrates the data demand populations: per capita consumption, return coefficient, population, etc. The consumer sector contains the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name (Name, String) - Item Name
    Avoid names that are too long, or that contain the following characters: '*', '>', '<', '/', '\', '"', ':', ';', '|', '=', '`', '#', ',', '?'
  • Description (Description, String) - Use a friendly description when the item name is not enough
  • Parent (ParentId, Objectid) - Node to which this item belongs
  • Priority (Priority, Enum) - Information about the current state of the item. It might be:
    • Neutral (Neutral): no problem
    • Warning (Warning): some problem, but that does not prevent the use or calculation
    • Critical (Critical): Some issue that prevents the item from being calculated or used
  • Object Type (Type, Type) - Object Type
• Object
  • Style (Style, ObjectId) - Style applied to the object
  • Layer (Layer, ObjectId) - Current layer of the object
• Geometry
  • Vertices (Vertices, GeometryPointList) - list of vertices that define the area polygon
  • Perimeter (Perimeter, Double) - Perimeter of the polygon
• Percapta
  • Percapta Consumption (q, Double) - Perceptible consumption
  • k1 (k1, Double) - Coefficient k1
  • k2 (k2, Double) - Coefficient k2
• Population Projection
  • Calculation Method (CalcPopMethod, CalcPopulation) - Population projection calculation method
• Water
  • Demand in March (DemandMarch, Double) - Demand calculated for the entire network based on the population served
    DemandMarch = Qproject / LtotalFicPressure
  • Pressurized Pipes (LtotalFicPressure, Double) - Total fictional length of pressurized pipes associated with this sector
  • Project Flow (Qproj, Double) - Calculated flow for the population to be served
    Qproj = k1 * k2 * GetEndPop * q
• Sewer
  • Coefficient of Return (Ctr, Double) - Coefficient of return
    The amount of consumed water that is converted into sewage
  • Initial Flow Contribution (QMI, Double) - Initial flow contribution
    QMI = k2 * Ctr * CalcPopMethod.StartPop * q
    Where:
    CalcPopMethod.StartPop - The total population to be served once the network becomes operational.
    At the start of the plan or the beginning of operations, the development is not yet fully occupied. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the minimum tractive stress within the pipes to ensure that sludge flow does not settle and clog the network
  • Final Flow Contribution (QMF, Double) - Contribution at the final stage
    QMF = k1 * k2 * Ctr * CalcPopMethod.EndPop * q
    Where:
    CalcPopMethod.EndPop - The total population served at the end of the occupancy period for the area where the network will be installed
    At the end of the planning horizon or the population growth period, network saturation may occur; therefore, it is necessary to verify the maximum flow depth
    
    To calculate the population at the end of the project, choose one of the population projection methods
  • Initial Contribution Rate (Ti, Double) - Contribution rate in initial gear
    Ti = QMI / LtotalFicSewer
  • Final Contribution Rate (Tf, Double) - Contribution rate in final gear
    Tf = QMF / LtotalFicSewer
  • Infiltration rate (TInf, Double) - Water infiltration rate in the pipe
  • Minimum Trative Tension (Tmin, Double) - Minimum tensile stress to be checked in the pipeline
  • Sewage Pipes (LtotalFicSewer, Double) - Total fictitious extension of sewage pipes associated with this sector

Note, by default when creating a network these values are read from the Sector Patterns

To calculate the contribution and demand rates, the Consumer Sectors need to be associated with the pipes of the networks. This association can be made:

• during the network launch, setting in the network properties, the standard consumer sector,
• or after launch, select all pipes in the network that generate demand or contribution and edit the property Consumer Sectors

The commands for editing sectors are:

• SSECTOR - to create Consumer Sectors
• SPROPS - to edit the consumer sector properties
• SSECTORSTYLES - to edit Sector Styles
• SEDITSTYLE - to edit the consumer sector style
• SDISCONNECT - to disconnect devices or sectors
• SCONNECT - to connect devices or sectors
• SADDVERTEX - to add vertex to consumer sector
• SDELVERTEX - to remove vertex from consumption sector
• SADDLABELS - to add label to the consumer sector
