The Graph Manager lets you recall a graph you have created
and saved in the current session or in a previous session of
Drainage and Utilities. Graphs listed in
the Graph Manager retain any customizations you have applied.
To use the Graph Manager:
- Compute your model and
resolve any errors. (Press F9 or click Analysis > Compute.)
- Open the Graph Manager,
click View > Graphs.
- Create your graph.
- After you create a graph, it
is available in the Graph Manager. You can select it by double-clicking it.
Graphs are not saved in Graph Manager after you close
Drainage and Utilities.
The Graph Manager contains a toolbar with the following
buttons:

Note: If the current
scenario is steady-state (or the base condition for fire flow), the default
graph is a bar chart for the selected elements where the graph displays
pressure if the type has a single pressure (junction, hydrant), HGL for tanks
and reservoirs), and flow for those elements which change pressure (e.g. pipes,
control valves).
Graphs can now be organized in a hierarchical fashion by
adding folders. You can drag-n-drop folders into other folders or move graphs
from one folder to another. When opening a previous model, all graphs will
appear under "Graphs".
When you right-click Graphs, or another folder, you can
create a new folder or add a new graph. The default graph type is a line-series
when adding a new graph from the right-click context menu.
