Summary ​

The Calculation Summary, accessed through the View menu or the View button after a successful calculation, provides a detailed report of the most recent hydraulic calculation. This report includes crucial information such as head and hose discharges, system demand, pipe flow data, and details on any auto-peaking performed. The report opens in WordPad, allowing users to save or print the file. Each subsequent calculation overwrites the previous summary.

How Do I Use Calculation Summary? ​

This is the detailed report that is generated from the most recent calculation.

You can also open the report by selecting View from the Hydraulic Calculation dialog box that appears after a calculation has been successfully run.

The report opens in WordPad where you can save or print the file. Each time a calculation is run, the file is over-written with the new results. The report shows information on head and hose discharges, the system demand, pipe flow data and auto peaking. Use this report to fine tune your system before producing a final report.
