IRRIGATION (Click on thumbnail to see video)

Irrigation WEBINAR (1 hr 15 min)

Learn about Irrigation F/X. This video covers everything in Irrigation except Drip Irrigation.
Filmed: March 6 2009

Flow Zone WEBINAR (18 min)

Flow Zones is a Irrigation F/X function used in sizing a mainline where you wish to control or overwrite the flow in certain areas of the design. This is typically used in golf course or large site irrigation design.

Little Known Irrigation Functions WEBINAR (56 min)

Learn how to get the most flow and pressure out of your water source, and the interplay between your source size, service line size, water velocity, lengths, and elevation changes. How can you “create” more pressure when you need it for a design. Piping can be a lot more than just connecting the dots: pipe a series of heads, place a large arc, change your pipe on-the-fly.

Drip Irrigation WEBINAR (49 min)

Learn the process Irrigation F/X uses to work with drip irrigation. This webinar will review the types of drip irrigation, how to place drip into a drawing, assign details, size the system, and run a Drip Irrigation Schedule.

Drip Irrigation for Metric WEBINAR (45 min)

This webinar delves into working on drip irrigation using metric plans, and working with pipe and equipment from areas outside the US, specifically from the Middle East.

Irrigation Preferences (2 min 10 sec)

Set your preferences as they relate to irrigation: valve callout, spray symbol family, symbol scaling, pipe options.

Adding Irrigation Equipment (3 min 35 sec)

See how to add equipment to your project: heads, valves, auxiliary equipment, and drip.

Placing Heads (4 min 45 sec)

An introduction to the various head placement tools, how to use them, and shortcuts for dropping heads into the drawing.

Circuiting and Flow (3 min 20 sec)

Once heads are placed into the drawing, group heads together that will be on the same valve. Set P.O.C. info, see flow totals and flow available before creating zones.

Drawing Lateral Line Pipe (2 min 10 sec)

Learn how to quickly draw pipe between heads, and use the highlight station tool to see what is connected to the valve.

Verify Lateral Piping (1 min 15 sec)

To verify that all your heads have been properly piped, use the verify laterals tool to highlight unpiped heads and check for apparent intersections.

Size Lateral Pipe (2 min 25 sec)

The system can be sized at once in its entirety or one valve at a time, automatically using the Hazen and Williams formula. Labels can be easily be cleaned up if desired.

Verify Mainline Piping (1 min 15 sec)

After laterals are piped and sized, the mainline is drawn. Errors in the mainline piping are indicated with the verify mainline tool.

Sizing the Mainline (2 min 25 sec)

The main line can be sized by single valve or multiple valve. Critical analysis is automatically generated. See how to edit pipe data and resize the system.

Valve Labeling and Reports (1 min 50 sec)

Valves are easily labeled and error checked. Critical analysis report and valve schedule can be automatically generated.

Irrigation Schedules (2 min 10 sec)

Schedules are generated automatically and can be placed in model space or paper space, or can be sent to a spreadsheet. Info in the schedule can be customized, and multiple schedules can be created with different info in each.

Types of Drip Equipment (2 min 35 sec)

Learn about the three different categories of drip equipment available in Irrigation F/X.

Placing Drip Equipment (7 min)

Use an x-ref planting plan for the irrigation site base to calculate required flow based on plant numbers. See how to pace the various types of drip equipment into the drawing.
