Cant see pilot channels

[deccantrap]

I have entered pilot channels by going under 'Tables' in Geometry Editor. However, after entering pilot channels, when I go to my cross-sections, I dont see the pilot channels.

Am I supposed to "see" those pilot channels in the geometry, or is it just a mathematical tool for the computations?

I believe it is just a mathmatical construction. The pilot channel only "exists" for low flows. For "normal", and higher, flows the pilot channel has no effect.

First off, pilot channels are added under the "Tools" menu item in the geometry window. To view it in the cross section plot, go to the cross section viewer, then under Options you'll find a "variables" item. Select that and then check the Pilot Channels option.
