Hello FME Team, I was wondering if anybody has calcuated Volume of a pipe before? I have a Water network of pipes in GeoMedia and would like to calcuate the volume and output it as a new attribute on the existing feature class.  I have Pipe Length & Pipe Size to play with for attributes.

 

 

Thoughts?

No Philippe, their is only the VolumeUnitConverter,  which works if you have a column with the volume already calculated and want to convert it to another unit of measurment.

Which version of FME dow you have? In FME2013 I have VolumeCalculator. VolumeUnitConverter is from the FME Store.

 

 

Anyway, I would use the ExpressionEvaluator to simply make this :

 

v = h?r2

 

 

h would be your length

 

r would be the size
