Setting up test cases for generalized multi run simulations

00:04

To run a generalized multi run simulation in info works.

00:07

WS pro you must first configure the test cases.

00:11

The test cases provide results for different scenarios.

00:15

This configuration is a database object that needs

00:18

to be populated prior to setting up the simulation

00:22

to begin open a network and control in the background.

00:26

Then in the model group window, right,

00:28

click model group and select new generalized multi run group,

00:33

a generalized multi run group displays in the model group tree,

00:38

right?

00:38

Click the new generalized multi run group

00:41

and select new generalized multi run config

00:44

a new name dialogue displays

00:47

for this example, set the name to valve closures and then click OK

00:53

again, a new generalized multi run item displays in the model group window,

00:58

right? Click valve closures and select open

01:01

from the generalized multi run configuration dialogue test cases.

01:05

Tab you specify test cases in the grid.

01:09

You can enter the test cases manually.

01:11

Although a wizard is provided to make the creation of multiple test cases quicker

01:17

from the model group drag the valves selection list and drop

01:20

it into the selection list pane of the GMR configuration dialogue,

01:25

expand the object type dropdown. And choose valve control.

01:30

As soon as you do the test case grid populates with the corresponding object data.

01:35

Note that when you are using a selection list, the object must exist in the list.

01:41

Then test cases will be created for all objects of this type. In the list.

01:46

In this case, the wizard will not allow you to choose individual objects.

01:51

However, you can always delete unwanted test cases from the test case grid.

01:56

Select the fields to include in the test case

01:59

and if needed set the value for each parameter.

02:02

For this example,

02:03

select the opening percentage field and then set

02:06

the percentage to 0.0 in the value column.

02:10

In the test case name field, you can enter a name to be used for all test cases

02:15

for now. However, leave this field blank

02:18

enable the option, append

02:20

object id to test case name.

02:22

This uses the object id as a test case naming convention.

02:27

Click add

02:29

the test cases are created and appear in the grid.

02:32

Click save

02:34

be aware that if you give different test cases, the same name,

02:37

they will all be applied in the same run.

02:40

Test cases with different names will be applied in separate runs

02:44

to remove test cases from the grid, right, click in the first column

02:48

and from the shortcut menu select delete row

02:52

specifying object type test cases is a quick

02:54

process when taking advantage of the generalized multi run
