Good Evening all,
I have been struggling to understand how subnetworks are defined in a pressure system. I have cleaned up all topology errors, and have tried setting both a PRV as a subnetwork controller for a pressure tier, as well as a pump station.
For the PRV, it works fine but traverses more of the system than it should. I have this same behavior with the pump station (High Pressure out set as controller) where it somehow loops back on itself.
Tried using a filter function barrier to understand where in the network it is somehow picking up the other pressure zone.
This looks fine, however we add a bit more pipe and I just get more confused.
There is a closed valve here in green (pressure boundary valve) that the UN is traversing as part of this trace.
I have fixed all pipes that were disconnected, ensured all boundary valves are connected and closed, I don't understand what I'm missing here. Ideally, the pump station would be the source for this newer higher pressure zone, the others are set by PRVs. I tried using a shortest path trace between this pump station and another point in the other pressure zone and got a "no path found" so what would ya'll recommend in terms of determining what is causing this behavior? I really appreciate the help!
