Once you upload your data to Qatium, we transform it into a digital replica of your network ready to operate with. To do so, we run some checks and apply some changes to your model if we need to.
Especially for .inp models, we transform linear elements (valves and pumps) into point elements. In some cases, to avoid network topology problems, we create additional pipelines if it’s impossible to simplify the geometry.
That’s why you might notice that the model you get from Qatium differs from the original one.
