For the Conduit Catalogs in Select Series 4 and up the procedure is a little bit different. 3) Click the item you would like to edit, change the value(s) on the right side, then click the Close button. xml file associated with your engineering library (such as MaterialLibrary.xml).

1) Go to Components > Catalog > Catalog > Engineering Libraries (or Components > Engineering Libraries for V8i) and click the plus sign next to "Material Libraries." 2) Click the plus sign next to the. Editing existing library data Again, this example uses the material library, but the concept is the same for other libraries. You can then use the steps above to add data to the new library file. Give the file a name and click Save to create the file. To create a new library file, you can select the New button and choose "New Library". You may also need to create an XML file because one does not exist, such as for the pump definition library. (Note: The Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio are only necessary if you need to use the automatic wave speed calculator tool in HAMMER, under Tools > Wave Speed Calculator.) There may be a case where you want to create a new engineering library file (.XML) instead of using an existing. 4) On the right side, enter the friction coefficients, Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio for your new material, then click close.

3) Right click this new material entry, choose rename and enter the name (such as 'HDPE'). If you do not have admin permissions to the default material library location, you can make a copy of the XML file, paste into a location on your local drive that you do have permissions to, then add that XML file to the Engineering Library. *If you only see the option to "Save as" or "Remove" you should try the following to resolve the issue using the steps found HERE. 1) Go to Components > Catalog > Catalog > Engineering Libraries (or Components > Engineering Libraries for V8i) and click the plus sign next to "Material Libraries." 2) Right click MaterialLibrary.xml and choose "add item" - a new material entry will appear at the bottom of the list.

Adding new library data This example uses the Material library in WaterCAD/WaterGEMS, but the concept is the same for other library types. You can also utilize Seed files as a starting point for new projects, where all the desired standards are already included. You can then import your standards from these libraries for use in future projects.

Solution Engineering Libraries are used to store commonly used information such as inlet sizes, material, conduit sizes, etc. Product(s): WaterGEMS, WaterCAD, HAMMER, SewerGEMS, CivilStorm, StormCAD, SewerCAD, PondPack Version(s): CONNECT Edition, V8i Area: Layout and Data Input Problem How are Engineering Libraries used to add, modify and utilize standard hydraulic model information? For example adding and using a standard HDPE material, establishing standard conduit sizes, etc.
