The new IrriPro 3.8.0 has been published with new and important features. Below are the new features and improvements compared to version 3.7.
Many advancements have been introduced taking your requests into consideration.
Please remember that the executable version can be downloaded in the download area, which once activated will use any license purchased.
Upgrading to the new version will occur automatically from previous versions for versions with an active license. By opening the software, a warning window will be shown and the availability of the update will be indicated. In case of problems do not hesitate to contact us.
Rain and gardening
Improved insertion of sprinklers and popups for more advanced and simple management of sprinkler systems and gardening. It is possible to insert the devices in sequence, being able to appreciate the wet circle and the coverage angle before fixing the position.
Range
For sprinklers, popups and sprays, the program will show the range and calculate the correct coverage angle based on the position of the device with respect to the edge of the ground. The range (for static popups) will depend on the coverage angle.
Manual modification of coverage
It is possible to manually modify, for one or more devices, the range, the coverage angle and the angle offset. Once the element to be used has been chosen from the database, the software will take into consideration, for the hydraulic calculation and rain coverage, whether the device has a fixed or variable angle, whether it is static or dynamic.
Coverage angle
IrriPro, in addition to modifying the coverage angle of the device based on the boundaries of the land, allows, in the case of neighboring or nearby edges, to maintain the continuity of the coverage. As shown in the figure, the wet circles of the sprinklers of the two adjacent sectors are drawn with a full 360° angle unlike the others on the edge.
Rainfall map
The new rainfall map indicates with progressively darker colors the areas that experience greater rainfall intensity compared to those with lower intensity. This representation will also show the range calculated as a function of pressure.
Pressure and range
The sprinkler range is a function of pressure. In addition to the color, the thematic map will also show the coverage (or circular sector) actually achieved by the device. The figure shows a comparison of two areas of the system subjected to different pressures. In this way the overlap of the wetted area and the rainfall intensity will also be evident.
Z quota
It is now possible to indicate the share of each element of the network. The user can specify the depth of the pipe to the ground surface or the height of the sprinkler. For example, in a system with sprinkler irrigation, the sprinkler columns. The Z level (negative or positive if above or below the ground) will be taken into consideration in the hydraulic calculation.
Triangular arrangement
It is now possible to choose the new triangular arrangement (QUINCUNX) instead of the rectangular one. In addition to defining the number of laterals per row (e.g. double, triple wing, etc.), the arrangement can be triangular starting from the even laterals or the odd laterals.
CAD import
Improved the CAD file import process. Now many more elements of the DXF file will be imported to a dedicated IrriPro layer, including text, circles, polylines and many other things. This procedure also allows you to create the 3D model of the terrain by taking into consideration the quoted points and contour lines contained in the imported DXF file.
Legend of diameters
A completely new color legend now allows you to distinguish the diameter of the pipes from the value of 16 mm (3/8″) to that of 710 mm (28″). Colors and diameter ranges can be changed by the user.
Further advancements and fixes
- Improved export of CAD files of ranges
- Improvements for the functions select, copy, paste one or more sectors
- Drawing corrections with s=0 (distance between the net and the edge of the ground)
- Better performance for selection, drawing, zooming and panning functions
- Possibility to customize the colors of the ducts (modifiable by the user)
- Updated database with new pipes up to 710 mm (28″)
- Edit DB query window for better search on sprinkler products and popups
- VYRSA catalog introduction
- Spanish
