Subdivide Channel Profile
This is a special parameter that enables the user to set parameters for large or odd-
shaped pipes with rounded tops. This parameter is not required for most standard
applications. Typically, ADS will set the parameters for applications involving
unique pipe types and sizes for the customer. Following is a brief description of how
to set this parameter.
The method for setting the dimensions for this pipe type involves dividing the pipe
profile into 2 or 3 level or height zones.
Press the ALT key to move among the following 3 options:
z NO (no profile subdivision, standard setting)
z 2 (divide profile into 2 level / height zones)
z 3 (divide profile into 3 level / height zones)
Set the zones through PAR > Measurement Place > Channel Profile(s).
Set the bottom zone of the profile to Pipe (round), Egg, Rectangle, U-Profile,
Trapezoid, or 2r Egg. Set the height-width or height-area characteristics for the
central zone, and enter the segment dimensions of the circle representing the top zone
of the unique channel profile.

If the profile has not been subdivided, first select the zone (bottom, center, top) with
the ALT key and then set the desired profile. Select one of the following standard
profiles:
z Pipe (round)

z Rectangle
