Analyze stormwater network with tank and pump in Civil 3D with iDAS
While stormwater networks do not commonly require pumps, there are situations where pumping is the only viable solution for effective stormwater management. The video below demonstrates a stormwater network that includes a storage tank, with water being pumped from the tank to a pond. The video covers a range of topics, including: Importing part sizes into a part list Designing a stormwater rising main Assigning a storage curve to a tank Using different pump curve types: Flow
