DXF 2 Epa

DXF2EPA is a Windows program that converts pipe network drawings from DXF format to EPANET's input format. It translates lines and polylines into pipes and junctions while maintaining coordinates and geometry. Additional elements like reservoirs must be added manually. The user guides the conversion over four pages, selecting files, layers, node tolerance, and ID prefixes. The program then converts the file and reports any errors.

DXF-To-EPANET File Conversion Utility DXF2EPA is a Windows utility program that converts a line drawing of a pipe network stored

in Autodesk's DXF file format into an input data file that can be read by the EPANET water distribution system analysis program. It converts all of the line and polyline elements in selected layers of the DXF drawing into a set of pipes and junctions for EPANET, with all coordinates and vertex points intact. Additional elements, such as reservoirs, tanks, pumps, and valves, have to be added to the EPANET model by hand. Although the conversion program can compute pipe lengths if so desired, other network data, such as junction elevations and demands, and pipe diameters and roughness values have to be edited within EPANET after the converted file is loaded. DXF2EPA is a wizard-type application that obtains information from the user with a sequence of four dialog pages that can be navigated sequentially back and forth. The information associated with each page is as follows: Page 1: Name of DXF file to process. Name of EPANET input file to create. Text of title to use for EPANET project. Page 2: Selection of DXF drawing layers that contain pipes, pumps, or valves that will be converted into EPANET pipe links. If no layers are selected then all lines and polylines in the drawing file will be converted. Page 3: Node Snap Tolerance (in DXF drawing units). Link endpoints within this tolerance will be assigned to the same junction node. Option to automatically compute pipe lengths (using DXF drawing units). Page 4: Prefix and numerical increment to use for junction ID labels. Prefix and numerical increment to use for pipe ID labels. After reaching the last page, the user can click the Convert button to begin the file conversion process. The program will indicate if the conversion was completed successfully or if errors were encountered. After running DXF2EPA the user can load the newly created EPANET file into EPANET and edit it as need be.
