Graphical Data Interface GDI

The Graphical Data Interface (GDI) provides map style graphical access to the model data. The GDI allows the inclusion of bitmap (BMP), Drawing Interchange File (DXF), or Shape (SHP) files as a reference background. Using the GDI, the User can draw the model schematic using point-and-click mouse entry, coordinate value entry, or relative distance and angle entry. TheGDI provides pop-up data screens for editing and viewing of the various pipe, node and customer data and analysis results.

The GDI includes a wide variety of tools for modifying the pipe, node, andcustomer model features including routines for adding, deleting and
moving features - and the ability to undo accidental changes anddeletions. Three independent display panels support various zoom commands including the ability to zoom in by a User specified window, zoom by a User specified scale, and zoom to a previous view allow the User to easily move around the model image. A robust set of color coding and tracing routines enhance the User’s ability to graphically review thea nalysis results and the system’s performance. The trace routines arecomplimented by the inclusion of what we refer to as “attribute” valves.The attribute valve feature was developed to assist in the design and layout of emergency isolation areas. A complete set of annotationroutines allows the User to include notes and references in the model graphics.

The GDI tools are accessed through descriptive tool icons contained on function based “fly-out” tool bars, through a commandline and list interface, and through a floating tool palette which can be arranged, sized, and placed to meet the User'spreference.

Reports

The report routines provide spreadsheet style reporting of the model data,attribute data, and analysis results - including the ability to edit data directly from within the report by simply selecting the cell you wish to edit andmaking the desired change. The User may select the items to be included in the report by collapsing the columns associated with the unwanted items.The pipe report provides a comprehensive collection of information including reporting of both size/type and internal diameter values, reportingof pipe inlet, outlet and average pressures, flow rates, velocities andvolumes, and simultaneous reporting of linear and pressure drop per User specified length. Selection sets may be created from
within the standard reports, allowing unique reporting of User specified data groups. Hierarchical queries allow the creationof sub-sets from a previously created selection set.

Import and Export

GASWorkS includes an extensive set of import and export routines allowing data to be exchanged between a variety of applications. Support is provided for ASCII, DBF, Microsoft Access and Excel data files, third party model data files, Arc/Info shape (SHP) files, and a robust DXF translator allowing both import and export of graphical data. The DXF and SHP import routines allow the automated creation of a GASWorkS model from a CAD drawing or GIS data set. “Quick Export” outines are provided to allow export of complete model data with a singleclick.
