DATA EXPORT
Exporting data
To export data for use in the other apps, select Project > Export in the menu. Note that the complete project is not exported. You can perform an export to the following file types:
-
Epanet (.inp extension)- the exported file can be used in Epanet to analyse, among other things, flows and pressure losses in water networks. This is a free tool developed and provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. More information about the program can be found on its website. Below is a schematic of the water distribution network in the Drafter and in Epanet, loaded from a file exported form the Drafter.
Data is exported from profiles for which Type (in the Panel) has been specified as Water Supply, to the extent that they are in the Drafter. Some data may need to be completed in Epanet to perform a full analysis.
-
Epa SWMM (.inp extension) - the exported file can be used in the Epa SWMM program to analyse, among other things, flows and pressure losses in sewer networks. This is a free tool developed and provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. More information about the program can be found on its website. Data is exported from profiles for which the Type (in the Panel ) has been specified as Sewer or Storm water , to extent that they are in the Drafter. To perform a complete analysis in Epa SWMM some data may need to be supplemented in Epa SWMM.
