NetworkManager Functional Specifications

Overview

NetworkManager is a .NET executable library that interfaces between the database and EPANET water distribution network models. Its primary functionality is to import the contents of water distribution networks from INP files into the database. It provides comprehensive functionality for water distribution network model management, data persistence, and configuration handling.
