Geometric Network Downstream Trace to Specified Distance

spanton — Wed, 27 May 2020 20:03:03 GMT

I have been tasked with creating areas along a geometric (electric) network which are downstream from a device (circuit breaker) at a set distance (1 mile). While I see there are some options available for tracing, I am not sure I see a straightforward solution for being able to dictate a distance.

In the example provided the circuit breaker (blue box) represents the beginning of the trace, depending which route is taken, the black dots along the circuit represent one mile out (approximately). This needs to be one for a number of circuits. I have some familiarity of Python, just wondering if anyone had any approaches to this task, thanks!!

We ended up having to write an application

Hello Robert, are you willing to share your application or the steps used in your application? I would really appreciate it!

I am not familiar with the nuts and bolts of it but it works via a custom SOE and uses linear referencing.
