Description

Create a curve for the water hammer scenario using the method of characteristics. This feature allows defining data curves, which are essential for characterizing the behavior of hydraulic components such as pumps and valves in transient hydraulic simulations.

Input and Output Parameters

Parameter	Default Units	Description
Input Scenario	-	Identifier of the scenario where the curve will be created.
Name	-	Identifier name of the curve.
x	-	x-axis values representing independent variables.
y	-	y-axis values representing dependent variables.
Updated Scenario	-	Scenario after adding the curve.

Calculation Method

The default method allows creating a data curve that can be used to describe the performance characteristics of components in the water hammer scenario. The curves are defined by pairs of x and y values, representing the relationship between two relevant variables for the simulation.

Inputs:

• Input Scenario: Identifier of the scenario where the curve will be added.
• Name: Name that identifies the curve.
• x: Series of values representing the independent variable.
• y: Series of values representing the dependent variable.

Outputs:

• Updated Scenario: The scenario configured with the new curve.
