Aquator Manual Training

This document provides steps for modeling a water reticulation system using Aquator software. Key steps include: 1) cleaning and scaling an imported CAD drawing, 2) adding layers and drawing water lines, 3) saving the CAD file and importing it into Aquator, 4) modeling the system in Aquator by adding nodes, demands, fittings and running calculations, 5) viewing the system in 2D and 3D and generating reports. The 13-step process allows users to accurately design a water reticulation system in Aquator based on a CAD drawing.
