Subject:    H2OMAP Sewer and InfoSewer Water Quality Options H2OMAP Sewer and InfoSewer Water Quality Options by  dickinsonre Subject:     H2OMAP   Sewer  and  In foSewer   Water   Quality   Options   You can model 8  options  in  H2OMAP   Sewer  and  InfoSewer  to simulate various aspects of  Water   Quality  (Figure 1).  If you make the base scenario no  water   quality  you can have the same network, same loading but different aspects of  water   quality  in seven child scenario's (Figure 2).  The parameters for each  water   quality  option is shown in the  Quality  Tab of the Simulation Options  Dialog.

The SWMM 5, 1D Components in InfoSWMM 2D

Note:   The SWMM 5 1D Components in InfoSWMM 2D The SWMM 5 1D Components in InfoSWMM 2D by  dickinsonre Note:   The  SWMM   5   1D   Component s  in  InfoSWMM   2D InfoSWMM   2D  uses standard  SWMM   5   components  to connect the  1D  Nodes to the  2D  Mesh.  A bottom outlet orifice at the maximum depth of the node drains to a  SWMM   5  Outfall at the fixed elevation equal to the Node Rim Elevation. Flow can go into or out of the Outfall from the  1D  element from or to the  2D  Mesh.  InfoSWMM   2D   automatically makes the necessary elements if  2D  is used and the new elements are listed in the Hydqua.inp file, which is very similar to the Tab Delimited  SWMM 5  Input file.  The HYDQUA.inp is very similar to the Excel Tab formatted file of  SWMM   5  with a few additional sections and added features: 1 st  Difference:    The Flood Node Data Section tell the  2D  engine which Node has a  1D - 2D  connection and which  2D  mesh element the  1D  Node drains to when it is flooded.

How to Compare the Output Manager Statistics in H2OMAP SWMM to the SWMM 5 Output Text File

Subject:    How to Compare the Output Manager Statistics in H2OMAP SWMM to the SWMM 5 Output Text File How to Compare the Output Manager Statistics in H2OMAP SWMM to the SWMM 5 Output Text File by  dickinsonre Subject:    How to  Compare  the  Output   Manager   Statistics  in  H2OMAP   SWMM  to the  SWMM   5   Output   Text   File    The value of the total inflow in the  text   output   file  is the integrated total for the whole simulation including all time steps.   This is the total volume that is shown in Map Display for Nodes and Links or in the Summary Tables for Nodes and Links.   If you graph the flow or depths in  Output  Report  Manager  and use the Field Statistics  tool it will only show you the  statistics  for the SAVED time steps.  However, if you multiply the Sum (Total) Value by the saved interval in seconds you will have another estimate of the total node of link  statistic.  For example, a Sum Total of L/s times seconds yields liters which divided by 1,000 yields ML
