Infoworks WS, Valve %Open vs Flow

[DCJ]

I created a slow open/close valve using UPC similar to this example (http://blog.innovyze.com/wp-content/...C-Examples.pdf).

Strangely, the flow doesn't ramp up as the valve opens (see image below). Why is this happening?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Craig,

I forwarded on your questions to other members of our support team more knowledgeable in InfoWorks WS and here are their initial thoughts on this issue.

• Flow is determined by the network conditions around the valve.
• Unless the valve is in a gravity system feeding a reservoir changing its opening will not necessarily increase the flow.

• If you need further support and cannot find the cause of the problem, please send a copy of your network to the Support inbox (support@innovyze.com ) and we can investigate further.

Thank you.
