    In the Edit and Calculate work perspective, your selection in the drawing is highlighted in colour. Section properties and component properties can be displayed and edited differently from the global project settings.
  - Component filter
    The component filter allows you to quickly filter the selected components in the drawing.
  - Drainage areas
    The Drainage areas window in the Drainage section is divided into two tabs.
  - Find function
    CALHYDRA has a parameterised search function that supports you when searching for drawn sections and components in the drawing and when selecting products.
  - Hydraulics report
    With the preview of the calculation output, CALHYDRA supports you in customising the calculation output.
  - Mass extract
    With the preview of the mass statement, CALHYDRA supports you in customising the printout of the masses.
  - Material editor
    With the material editor, CALHYDRA supports you with convenient and fast determination of your dimensions.

Pump settings

Settings dialogue for the circulation pump

The Pump settings dialogue appears after double-clicking on the pump symbol in the Pipe network simulation window or by clicking on the Pump button in the Dashboard (simulation) window.

Note:

The pump used for the simulation is taken from the calculation.

Operating mode

Depending on the selected pump, you can select the Constant pressure or Characteristic operating mode. If you have selected the Constant pressure operating mode, you can adjust the calculated pressure difference using the Pressure difference input field. If you select Characteristic curve, you can select the stage.

Pump pressure difference and flow rate table

The pressure differences H in hPa and the flow rates Q in l/h are displayed in the table to the side of the pump characteristic curve. The calculated values (red dot in the diagram) and the selected points (blue dot in the diagram) as well as the deviation between the two values are displayed.
