Check pressure network design and depth

- [Instructor] The design check and depth check commands can be very helpful in identifying necessary edits for your pressure network. Let's see how they work. If we take a look at the pipes at point C and B, we may be a little suspicious that the deflection is a little too much in these areas. So to either take care of those suspicions or find an issue and fix it, let's use a tool designed specifically for that. I'll click the pipe once, which will select the alignment. I'll click it again, which will select the actual pipe. And then on the contextual ribbon, I can pick design check. I've got four things I can check, deflection, diameter, open connections, and radius of curvature. I'm going to pick the first and the last by unchecking the middle two. I'll click okay, and what we see are warning symbols that pop up at either end, and I can hover over those warning symbols to get some more information. Current deflection is 6.58 degrees. The allowable maximum is five. Let's see what…
