Executing SmartSelect

For all components except pipes, selection occurs on nodes with case modes set to "Design." The software indexes calculated specifications against data that closely matches available manufacturer specifications in the database.

After successfully calculating a hydraulic model, SmartSelect uses defined criteria to narrow down available options in the database.

Component	SmartSelect Criteria
Pipe	- Economic Velocity (Generaux / Peters) - User Defined Velocity - User Defined Hydraulic Gradient
Centrifugal Pump	- Selection Basis (Trimmed Impeller / Variable Speed / Standard) - Pump Type - Frequency - Minimum Efficiency
Control Valve	- Valve Style - Opening Range

To perform SmartSelect:

1. Solve the hydraulic model

2. Engage SmartSelect panel

3. Select applicable component

4. Define selection criteria

5. Click "Run SmartSelect" button

6. Analyze software results once Smartselect calculation has been completed

7. Clicking "Push to Model" applies the identified and ticked manufacturer specification in the model.

8. Closing the SmartSelect window without clicking “Push to Model” disregards the calculation results.
