HIDCAL 5 In its two (2) versions: Standard and Linked to AutoCAD® (E-CAD), has gathered several advanced features to facilitate the data entry in an automated form, minimizing the errors and taking advantage of the time invested in the processing and calculation of the systems.

HIDCAL allows the system calculation in a tree, loop or grid type, making it possible to obtain the following results:

• Flow, velocity and unit loss determination for each section of the pipe system, as well as the pressure in each node and the water outlets of the discharge nodes.
• Determination of the pressure and flow requirements of the systems or its real known discharge, pressure and flow availability at the supply point.
• Analysis of network fire water distribution. Simulates the operation of water supply pumps, booster pumps, elevated tanks, variable or fixed water outlets, pressure reducing valves and retention valves.
• Q1.85 graphs required in nodes of entry to the systems and of the availability of pressure and volume in the outlet nodes of the network.
  

HIDCAL 5 has the following aids:

Has a modifiable database. Allows working with the English System or the International System of Units. Generation of security files.

HIDCAL provides the following aids:

• Modifiable database for most usual pipes. Possibility of working with the English System or with the International Units System. Generation of security files.
• Amount of nodes only limited by RAM memory and available disc space. Advanced mobilization on the data entry tables by keyboard and/or mouse.
• Sections classification and optimization. Three calculation modules and costs estimation of the system.

HIDCAL requires the following configuration:

• Processor type Pentium II, equivalent (AMD K-6, K-6 II, K-7 or Athlon, etc) or more.

• 32 minimum Mb of ram memory (recommended 64 greater Mb or).

• 20 Mb of minimum free space in the hard disk for the installation.

• Monitor Super VGA with a minimum resolution of 800 xs 600 pixels, minimum depth of color of 16 bits or 65,000 colors (necessary).

• Unit of D-ROM (for the installation). .

• Windows 95 (OSR-2), 98, Me, NT-4 (Service superior Pack 2 or), 2000 Professional or XP Home or Professional, with Internet Explorer 4,5 or superior installed.

• An impression port parallel type (LPTx). Optional: A port USB.

HIDCAL could be obtained in CD and comes protected by means of a key of Software. The user will receive a manual of the program with several resolved examples.
