    Hi, is there a particular message you want more information about? I do reference some of the errors in the other blogs.

    thanks for this useful information! Can you provide me some more information on error 353? what is the valid format interface files?

  4. Robert DickinsonOctober 28, 2012 at 11:31 AM

    Hi, basically error 353 means you have the wrong number of pollutants, the wrong type of keyword (for example, it looks for the word flow) or values for the interface file locations less than 0

    // --- check for correct file type
    fgets(line, MAXLINE, Finflows.file);
    sscanf(line, "%s", s);
    if ( !strcomp(s, "SWMM5") )
    {
    report_writeErrorMsg(ERR_ROUTING_FILE_FORMAT, Finflows.name);
    return;

    I keep getting "ERROR 209: undefined object..." about a node I just added. I can't figure out why it's not recognizing the node. Any suggestions?

    You should look at the rpt file and it should tell you the last line read.

    Where do I find lines 4570 and 7513? I'm not sure I'm looking in the right spot.

    Hi,it means the node IECJ07 is not in your model, I would search for in the SWMM 5 input file to make sure or the search the SWMM 5 GUI

    I finally figured it out! I just added the node and somehow it was turned off in the facility manager. Working now. Thanks!

    Hi Dan,
    I think from your snippet it means that you have not defined the name of the raingage? At any rate this message means that some data is missing from the line.

    I am trying to model a storm water pipe system that has 1 conduit entering a node and 2 conduits leaving the node. I am getting error message 133. Is there a way around this?

    Got a bunch of ERROR 115: adverse slope for Conduit errors. Would a negative slope prevent the model from running? My boss thought it would run still.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Robert DickinsonSeptember 20, 2013 at 3:43 AM

    Hello Genevieve,
    If you are using the Kinematic wave solution then you cannot have adverse slopes, if you switch to dynamic wave in Options then it will run - you can run all types of slopes.
    I hope this helps.

    Here is what the inflows should look like

    [INFLOWS]
    ;; Param Units Scale Baseline Baseline
    ;;Node Parameter Time Series Type Factor Factor Value Pattern
    ;;-------------- ---------------- ---------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --------
    102 FLOW INFLOW@102 FLOW 1.0 1.0
    1SB3_MIL FLOW INFLOW@1SB3_MIL FLOW 1.0 1.0
    1SB1 FLOW INFLOW@1SB1 FLOW 1.0 1.0

    it looks like you have two columns with the name flow or a time series with the name flow

    Dear All, I have a real case in simulating the Stormwater system, as described below:
    - The Outfall of this system was influenced by tidal regime: 0-12 AM, the maximum of tidal height is + 85m above mean sea level, 13-23 PM that of tide is + 94m. In case, +85 tidal height, the stormwater system can discharge into outfall freely but in case of +94m. the stormwater system was impacted by tide and can not discharge into outfall. So, Please help me to simulate this case by using SWMM Model? Thanks all,

    Thanks for this. Is there more information available for Error 185? I have checked each tab in my Bio-Retention control editor, and see no red flags for improper values.

Orifice and Weir flow calculations

Note: Orifice and Weir Flow Computations The orifice flow calculation proceeds as follows: 1. Initially and whenever the setting (i.e., the fraction opened) changes, flow coefficients for both orifice and weir behavior are computed as follows: a. For side orifices: Define Hcrit = h/2 where h is the opening height. b. For bottom orifices: i. For a circular orifice, compute area over length (i.e., circumference) as AL = h /4. ii. For a rectangular orifice compute AL = h*w/(2*(h+w)) where w is the opening width. iii. Compute Hcrit = Cd*AL/0.414 where Cd is the orifice discharge coefficient. At step 1b, the critical head for the bottom orifice, where orifice flow turns into weir flow, is found by equating the result of the orifice equation to that of the weir equation Cd*Area*sqrt(2g)*sqrt(Hcrit) = Cw*Length*sqrt(Hcrit)*Hcrit or Hcrit = (Cd * Area) / (Cw/sqrt(2g) * Length) The value of Cw/sqrt(2g) for a sharp crested weir is 0.414.
