Release Notes for Release 4.0.1


Dear PipelineStudio User

We are pleased to present PipelineStudio 4.0.1. This document contains information on the most important
changes together with any late-breaking information.

Release 4.0.1 of PipelineStudio is classified as a minor release and has the following improvements:

Added the ability to track components if a compositional fluid is used with a simplified EOS.
o If using a compositional fluid with the SAREM equation of state for natural gas simulation, the
components will be tracked throughout the pipeline network.
Fixes to allow ramping of components (this fixes a bug in 4.0).
o It was identified that when ramping components in a transient simulation that the transient ramps
were not being handled, and any scenarios containing component ramps where not being saved
correctly. This issue has now been addressed for transient and successive steady state
simulations.
Added a new transient run type, PSM SS, to allow the parametric study manager to run successive steady-
states without fluid/DRA movement.
o A new simulation type for the parametric study has been added. When running simulations with
changes in the fluid properties in the scenario, for example changing the DRA injection rate, the
fluid would advance. With this new simulation type the fluid will not advance during the parametric
study.
Compressor statuses changed in 4.0 that may affect you older simulations.
o To align status ramps between pumps and compressors the data consumed by the TNET engine
has changed. This generated a small problem in the way compressor scenarios were being
handled in configurations opened from previous versions in 4.0, where compressor status ramps
were being treated incorrectly. This has been fixed in 4.0.1 and any configurations generated in
versions earlier than 4.0 will open correctly; it will also work correctly for most configurations
created in 4.0, with one exception. When a flat ramp is being used, i.e. maintaining a constant
compressor status for the entire transient scenario, the status will be toggled incorrectly. In this
case you will need to manually adjust the scenario.

Once again, we would like to thank our customers who continue to support us, amaze us and inspire us. Ultimately

it is your support and feedback that goes to make PipelineStudio the outstanding product that it is. As always, the

PipelineStudio team welcomes your comments and suggestions, which can be sent to our Technical Support
team.

We hope that you continue to enjoy using PipelineStudio and rest assured that we are already working on the next
release!

Panel. For .NET Framework 4.0, PipelineStudio requires that all of these entries are present:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended

If .NET Framework 4.0 is not installed on the target machine prior to starting the installation, the script for

PipelineStudio will install it. It is important to note that having Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile installed
on the machine is not sufficient; and the client needs to be upgraded to include Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
Extended manually.

To check whether you already have the .NET Framework 4.5 installed (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008
systems only), you can check using Add or Remove programs (or Programs and Features) in Control Panel. For

.NET Framework 4.5, PipelineStudio requires that the below entry is present:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5

Note: Windows 8.1 Professional and Windows Server 2012 have the .NET Framework 4.5 already included.

Whats New in PipelineStudio 4.0?

New Features

New features implemented in PipelineStudio are carefully selected to enhance your simulation experience. The

new features included in PipelineStudio 4.0 are described in detail in the on-line help and supporting
documentation. A brief overview of some of the key features is given below:

1. TNet engine for Liquid
2. Parametric Study Manager
3. User Defined Logic
4. Survey Grooming Tool
5. New quality tracking method for Gas simulations
6. Units Management, Decimal Point Display
7. Review unused (Liquid)
8. Sensor nodes available for Gas simulations

1. (Liquid) TNet engine for Liquid

TNet for liquid has been integrated into PipelineStudio .

With the release of PipelineStudio 4.0 the modernized C# engine, TNet , has replaced both TGNET and TLNET

and is fully integrated in release 4.0. TNet provides a robust and more flexible simulation performance. The native
file format continues to be the TLW file and XML file formats only.
If you have an older file you wish to import, please contact Customer Care.

2. Parametric Study Manager

A steady state parametric study manager has been included in PipelineStudio 4.0. The tool may be invoked from
the Programs menu under All Programs | Energy Solutions | PipelineStudio | Parametric Study Manager

The parametric study tool enables multiple simulations to be executed varying 1 or more parameters for each
simulation within a grid defined by the user or based on a series of specific values. Any parameter that can be
ramped may be included in the simulation, and the size of the grid may be controlled by a lock-step approach (i.e.
parameters will ramp from one value to another in sequence) or the grid may be allowed to grow to a larger size by
choosing not to use the lock-step approach.

To quickly start using this feature select All Programs > Energy Solutions > Pipeline Studio > Parametric Study
Manager
The main dialog is displayed:

From the File menu choose New, and the selection dialog is displayed

Choose the browse for configuration button to browse the case that will be studied (must be an XML file), and if a
different output location is desired that may also be selected in this dialog.
Select the type of study, either generic or pipe sizing study. With a pipe sizing study an additional data table with
pipe groups and pipe size entries will be displayed.

The generic study displays a table which can be completed by adding rows and selecting data items from the drop
down.

Once the study has been defined and OK has been selected a dialog is displayed that indicates how many
simulations will be run.

The pipe study displays a dialog where there is a prompt to pre-create the pipe groups and the table of pipe sizes
that may be studied.
When the simulation is run from the Simulate menu option output is displayed to the parametric study manager
window.

On completion of the simultion the data is viewed in the trend viewer, from which you can export your data to a data
table to construct charts and curves in, for example, EXCEL.

3. User Defined Logic (UDL)

PipelineStudio 4.0 sees the introduction of an eagerly requested feature, User Defined Logic (UDL).

In the previous version of PipelineStudio control was via idealized controls, using maximum and minimum set

points and constraints on pipeline entry and exit points, and equipment elements. With PipelineStudio 4.0 you can
now add a layer of logic permitting far more granular control of the simulation.
UDL scripts are created and placed in the root folder of the simulation. The scripts allow logical monitoring of the
status of any value during the simulation and permit any type of control operation to be simulated, such as
controlling the available power at a pump station, toggling the status of a valve or changing the property of a fluid.
Demonstration scripts and configurations are available in the My Documents | My Simulations | Liquids and My
Documents | My Simulations | Gas directories.
User Defined Logic is well documented in a user guide and API guide which can be accessed from the

PipelineStudio Help > UDL menu.

4. Survey Grooming Tool

Considerable performance degradation occurs in performance if large numbers of elevation points are provided in
the survey definition. Given the increased tendency to import elevation points from GIS and other field survey
sources, it should be expected that surveys with distance steps of a few feet should be accepted. For the user
manually grooming these points is an odious task and new surveys may need to be imposed multiple time a year.

Accordingly, a highly desirable feature of PipelineStudio must be the ability to selectively choose which survey
points are hydraulically significant and then use that (significantly) reduced set of points in the simulation. This
programmatic grooming of points should be automatic but controlled by user specification.

Survey grooming is invoked from the Survey Path Details by selecting the Launch Grooming Tool button.
Survey data is imported into the point groomer, and the options to adjust the range, points that must be used etc.
may be selected

Once satisified with how the point is configured the play button will groom the points.
Once the survey has been groomed the points being used are displayed, and the numbers displayed in the bottom
left are the number the you started with and the number you ended up with.

The Graphic tab displays a chart of grooomed versus raw data.

How does it work?

Consider a group of survey points as shown below.

First we mark the beginning and ending points and find the highest and lowest points in between. Note that if either
end represents the highest or lowest point a middle point will not be chosen.

Next we consider a distance band around the straight lines drawn between these identified points. We select the
greatest outfall from that band for each line segment.

Largest
Outfall

We connect a new line to those outfall points and repeat the process until all points in the collection fall inside the
banded region.
The selection process is dependent only on the width of the band, which is specified by the user. By choosing a
smaller band, greater accuracy in the approximated elevation profile is obtained.

Largest
Outfall

Largest
Outfall

As illustrated below.

Note that the highest-lowest test is only done at the first pass!
If a band width of zero is selected the entire original collection is used i.e. no point grooming is done.
The engineering unit associated with the band is taken to be the same as the elevation, depending on the selected
unit set (English, Metric, etc.) While performing the grooming calculations, the horizontal units, which are typically
in miles or kilometers, are converted into units compatible with elevation.
5. New quality tracking method for Gas simulations

PipelineStudio 4.0 see the introduction of a method of quality tracking for gas that was previously available in the
version of the solution used for real time simulation but not available offline, this method is called Batch. Previously

the only method available in TNet Gas was called random choice, hence there was no selector available. To switch
between batch and random choice the tracking method may be changed from the drop down on the tracking line of
the Simulation > Options > General tab.

Batch based quality tracking is considered to be more accurate than the random choice method, but there is a
slightly slower performance.

6. Units Management, Decimal Point Display

Units management now allows control of the number of decimal places that can be dispayed in a data block or in a
table in the network view. This is controlled in the units manager by changing the numbers of decimals displayed in
the Data Block Decimal Places column. Reports and tables will continue to display the full precision of a value.

7. Sensor nodes available for Gas simulations

Sensor nodes have been available in liquid configurations for some time. They are now available for gas devices
that can control pressure, such as regulators or compressors.

When a sensor node is selected the device will attempt to control the pressure at the remote location rather than
the node immediately up or downstream of the device.
8. Review unused

Review Unused may be accessed from Tools > Review Unused

A dialog is displayed that allows the user to select and remove inactive definitions from a configuration, such as
curves, fluids etc.
Multiple definitions may be selected by Shift-Click to select, and Remove Selected Item(s) to remove them from
the configuration.
UPDATED FEATURES
1. Resistance Element (Riser) Length Unit Change
2. Updates to wall temperature display
3. Update to ramps on certain elements
4. Updates to DRA
5. Updates to SRV
6. Security changes
7. Minor Changes to GUI
8. Simulation changes:
1. Correlations for LPG and NGL
2. Pump and Compressor Status
9. PLM Integration Instruments can now be toggled in the Network View

1. Resistance Element (Riser) Length Unit Change

The Unit Category for Length on a Riser (Resistance Element) has been changed from Length units to Elevation
units (Issue #19707).
It is important to note that when using existing configurations which have Resistance Elements used as a Riser
included, the user should force the updating of the configuration .xml file in order to obtain the correct results when
running the simulation. This can be done by either deleting the configuration .xml file or selecting File | Export |
XML File... and choosing to overwrite the existing version of the file.

2. Wall Temperature Display

When displaying wall temperatures across multiple pipes of different wall layer configuration the temperature profile
of wall was not displaying correctly due to the different wall properties. To alleviate this the wall temperature that is
displayed when you have pipes with this type of configuration will now always display the inner and outer wall
temperature.

3. Ramps on certain elements

Ramps have been added that were not previously available. These have mainly been added for the parametric
study manager, however they are also available for transient studies. Some of these ramps include:

- Pipe Inner Diameter

- Pipe Ambient Temperature
- Pipe Roughness
- Pipe Heat Transfer Co-efficient
Whilst these are available for transient simulation their use in transient simulation may not be valid.

This list will be expanded as the parametric study manager continues to develop.

4. Updates to DRA

Transient DRA modelling has undergone some minor improvements:

Corrections made:
Pipe degradation
Pump degradation set to zero on free flow or p < 1 bar
DRA line fill (including default level) does not fill supply XREGS and downstream path until DRA
injector located
Tracking of multiple DRA types added
DRA type is unique to an injector
DRA mixing
ppms are summed
DRA characteristics from the dominant type (by tracked ppm)

5. Updates to SRV

Surge relief valves have undergone some minor updates to permit modelling closer to that of the real world.
Coefficient of discharge set to a more realistic default
Open/close response time for Pop type valves now available for use in both liquid and gas
Equivalent diameter parameter now exposed

6. Security changes

PipelineStudio 4.0 sees the introduction of updated security to protect your investment. This requires an update to

the license you use to run PipelineStudio .
If you are using a NLM there will be little change over how we have previously issued new licenses (please refer to
the Network Licensing Help and co-ordinate your new licenses with Customer Care).
If you are using a bitlock please contact Customer Care for instructions on how to upgrade your license.

7. Minor Changes to GUI

Power contracts now have their own tables

Multiple case tool now starts in the correct folder and remembers its location
8. Simulation Changes

8.1 Correlations for LPG and NGL

API correlation are no longer valid for use with the fluid classes LPG and NGL. After a thorough review of the
documentation is has been decided that these lighter fluids are best modelled using BWRS EOS.

8.2 Pump Status Ramping

Pump status now ramps differently for a centrifugal pump. This makes a pump behave more like it does when
it shuts down.

In PipelineStudio 3.6.1 and earlier, when a status change was invoked the pump would toggle between on
and off halfway along the ramp.
Now the pump behaves differently. The status is ramped as a value between 1 and 0, and the value is
multiplied against the coefficients of the curve fit. This has the effect of more gradually slowing a centrifugal
pump over time rather than invoking an instant status change between time steps.

9. PLM Integration Instruments can now be toggled in the Network View

If you are a user of PipelineManager , which may be configured using PipelineStudio , you may now toggle the

display of instruments on the network in a configuration that has been developed for PipelineManager .

KNOWN ISSUES
Riser Unit Category
As stated in the Updated Features section, the Unit Category for Length on a Riser (Resistance Element) has been
changed from Length units to Elevation units. When using existing configurations which have Resistance Elements
used as a Riser included, it is necessary for the user to force the updating of the configuration .xml file in order to
obtain the correct results when running the simulation. This can be done by either deleting the configuration .xml
file or selecting File | Export | XML File... and choosing to overwrite the existing version of the file.

Tabular Fluids
When using the dialog to input a tabular fluid, the code enforces the following restriction. The LPG, NGL, and
OTHER class types are not allowed when using the Auto-Generated or API Correlation method (LPG, NGL, and
OTHER are not available in the Class dropdown list). However, when inputting a tabular fluid through the fluid input
table the restriction is not enforced until the configuration is validated.

Remote Commuter Licensing WRCommute

The WRCommute.exe tool provided to allow a remote user to generate a commuter locking code for Remote
Commuter Licensing (see the Network Licensing Help for details) is known to have an issue with the automatic

email capability available from within the tool if the default installed mail client is any 64-bit version of Microsoft

Outlook . If you receive the messages shown below after clicking the Send button to send the email, you can
simply workaround this issue by first saving the locking code to file (there is a button to do this also on the tool) and

then by attaching the saved file to a new email created from Microsoft Outlook :
