A model in NetSim connects pipes and nodes to a network, and the other object types are connected to this network.
Example:
· You create a copy of a model, and in this copy you switch the pipe type in a pipe. In the original model, the pipe still has the same pipe type as before.
· You want to place a pressure increase station in a pipe in the copy. You can then choose to place in the pipe a pressure increase station which you previously created in another model. Either pressure increase station then has its own data in the two models.
· You delete a pipe in the copy. The pipe remains in place in the original model.
· You create a new pipe in the copy. The new pipe appears only in the copy, no other model.
A range of data which controls the calculation process and results also belongs to the model.
