Introduction
It is important in WinCan VX to have a firm understanding of Object Types, and how they are related. This is because there are several different types of object at different levels, where one level is required by WinCan VX to operate correctly, and the other level is part of the definitions for HADDMS data, and both of these types of object must always be handled together, as matching pairs.

WinCan Object Types
Internally, WinCan objects are divided into:

Info – if you need to move a continuous between the section and lateral tabs in WinCan VX, simply change the value in the drop-down list in this field, and that’s it done. |

DDMS Object Types
Now that we understand WinCan Object Types, we can delve deeper into HADDMS Object Types. As we have seen already, HADDMS asset data is divided into three types – point, continuous and region, and in WinCan, continuous items are sections and laterals, and point or region items are all nodes.
...
Asset Group | Geometry | Asset Types |
Chambers | Point | Manhole, catchpit, inspection chamber, rodding eye, bifurcation or storm overflow, lamphole, soakaway chamber, soakaway borehole, gully, instrumented gully or other special chamber. |
Inlets and Outlets | Point | Outfall, inlet, outlet, or grip inlet. |
Pipes | Continuous | Pipework, gravity drain, rising main, culvert, syphon or land drainage. |
Filter Drains | Continuous | Counterfort drain, combined surface and sub-surface filter drain, filter drain, narrow filter drain, fin drain or soakaway trench. |
Ditches and Channels | Continuous | Ditch, grip, grassed surface water channel or swale, surface water channel, drainage channel block, edge channel, combined kerb and drainage channel, combined pipe and channel drain, linear drainage channel or "over the edge" drainage. |
Ponds | Region | Detention basin, retention pond, sedimentation pond, infiltration basin, pollution containment pond or tank, wetlands, reed bed treatment system or pond (undifferentiated). |
Ancillaries | Point | Standalone Stand-alone flow control device, interceptor, oil separator, pumping station or vortex separator. |
Continuous | Linear cellular storage system. | |
Region | Reservoir pavement. | |
Network Modelling Items | Point | Ghost node, phantom node, region node or connector node. |
Continuous | Phantom connector or region connector. |
...
Sections & Laterals | HADDMS Object Types |
Section | Pipework, gravity drain, rising main, culvert, syphon, land drainage, combined surface and sub-surface filter drain or combined pipe and channel drain. |
Lateral | Any continuous item that has a Connector Node at the downstream end. |
Surface Linear Asset | Ditch, grip, grassed surface water channel or swale, surface water channel, drainage channel block, edge channel, combined kerb and drainage channel, combined pipe and channel drain, linear drainage channel, "over the edge" drainage, linear cellular storage system, phantom connector or region connector. |
Nodes |
|
Drainage Asset | Manhole, catchpit, inspection chamber, rodding eye, bifurcation or storm overflow, lamphole, soakaway chamber, soakaway borehole, gully, other special chamber, outfall, inlet, outlet, grip inlet, standalone stand-alone flow control device, interceptor, oil separator, pumping station or vortex separator. |
Connector Node | Ghost node, phantom node, region node or connector node. |
Region Item | Detention basin, retention pond, sedimentation pond, infiltration basin, pollution containment pond or tank, wetlands, reed bed treatment system, pond (undifferentiated) or reservoir pavement. |
