As part of our commitment to providing you with the most state-of-the-art pipeline simulation tools available on the market, we are excited to announce an updated version of NextGen.  We encourage you to install this version to take advantage of the latest innovative features designed to help you run your operation more efficiently and realize greater bottom line profitability.

• Fast Transient Speed Option for 3x Faster Transient Runs
• Sub One Second Calculations for Liquid Transient water hammer and slack flow simulations
• New Liquid Viscosity Enhancements

• Quick Loop Leg Feature added to all looping of single elements or entire regions with one click
• Orthogonal Lines Feature allows you to draw straight lines simply by holding shift while drawing
• Angle Measuring Tool added allowing you to measure the angle anywhere on the map
• Flow Arrows enhanced to better show arrows on legs with graphical nodes when zoomed out
• Map Text Enhancements
  • Users can now choose to have no data objects displayed as long as they have the display record name option turned on
  • Add Text Mode will now update selected text if it already exists

• Export out data for every time step for multiple transient or sequential steady state scenarios

The Timeline is a simple but powerful tool to easily manage, view, and navigate transient simulations. With straightforward configuration and customization, the timeline can:

• Visually track warnings, errors, overrides, and user-defined alarms across simulation snapshots
• Automatically halt a simulation on a specified condition or time.
• Quickly navigate between snapshots.
• And much, much, more…

• What are some of the latest features that have been added to NextGen?

• When is the next version of NextGen expected to be released?

• Where is the next Gregg Engineering User Conference going to be located?

• Why am I seeing the simulation results that I’m seeing?

• How do I go about debugging this hydraulic model?

• Who are Beggs & Brill and why/when should I use their pipe equation?

Gregg Engineering is excited to announce that we will be regularly publishing to a blog that will provide answers to all of these questions and many more!

Gregg Engineering is proud to give back to the local community.  At the beginning of this month, we participated in the 16th Annual Chamber Challenge Golf Tournament in Lago Vista, Tx.  This tournament is put on every year to raise money for the local chamber of commerce.  The course was beautiful and we’re proud to say that we didn’t finish in last.
