Innovyze Releases InfoWorks ICM SE Version 5.5 to Power Next Generation of InfoWorks CS
InfoWorks ICM SE Poised to Dominate Sanitary, Storm and Combined Sewer Modeling and Management for Next Decade and Beyond
Broomfield, Colorado, USA, November 4, 2014 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced the release of the V5.5 Generation ofInfoWorks ICM SE (Sewer Edition). Since its initial release in February 2014, InfoWorks ICM SE has rapidly become the solution of choice for collection systems modeling by wastewater utilities and their consultants around the world. InfoWorks ICM SE incorporates all the powerful analysis features and capabilities of InfoWorks ICM for comprehensive sewer collection systems modeling, but without 2D simulation of surface flooding. In response to the specific requests of our vast wastewater user community, the new version gives wastewater utilities an enhanced set of tools and functionalities and an enriched modeling experience for managing and operating sewer networks. The changes reflect the Innovyze commitment to providing users significant value and competitive advantages, and quickly responding to their needs.
​
InfoWorks ICM SE is a fully-dynamic sewer network modeling solution that uses a fast, accurate and unconditionally stable implicit numerical solution scheme — delivering a high degree of confidence in simulation results. It can be effectively used to model any complex sanitary, storm and combined sewer system, offering complete hydrology, hydraulic and water quality simulation and sophisticated real-time control (RTC) modeling capabilities. (As a specialized version of InfoWorks ICM, SE does not model overland flow or 2D flooding.) A significantly more powerful version of InfoWorks CS, InfoWorks ICM SE automates many user-intensive operations, helping engineers minimize time spent creating, calibrating and simulating reliable sewer models and analyzing results.
​
InfoWorks CS users will greatly benefit from an improved interface and enhanced visualization and reporting tools (e.g., undo/redo, recycle bin, no admin program, customized property sheet, dockable Windows and themes). Other significant advantages include substantially faster simulation run times with full 64 bit multi-core processing support; additional modeling capabilities (e.g., SWMM5.1 and modified Horton infiltration method, non-prismatic open channels, H2S, algae, nutrient dynamics); an enhanced database; version control and complete scenario management; multivariable themes and mapping; and stunning graphics. These advanced capabilities make it easier for users to set up, visualize and manage simulations and arrive at fast, reliable solutions to support cost-effective drainage design, operation and management.
​
New and improved features and functionality plus unique ease-of-use tools developed in response to customer requests make V5.5 an incredibly powerful and indispensable collection system network modeling solution. WithInfoWorks ICM SE, users can now directly export flood contours to Esri ACSII grid (.ASC) and .SHP formats as well as MapInfo .MIF/.TAB format; export SQL expressions and multiple results including max/min summaries; graphically display multiple catchments as well as observed data; import the latest SWMM V5.1 files; export any selection of tables to GIS file format; and manage complete bi-directional master database updates. In addition, the program now supports NIMROD as a forecast data file format when configuring a spatial times series database, and features a new design rainfall generator that produces rainfall profiles suitable for use in Chinese catchments. It also delivers greater usability and performance, including efficiency improvements for simulating networks with banks.
​
“We continue to listen to our customers’ wants and needs and devote extensive resources to delivering an extended product portfolio that not only recognizes their feedback, but protects their investments,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, NAE, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, F.ASCE, President, COO and Chief Technical Officer of Innovyze. “InfoWorks ICM SE represents a quantum leap in the art and science of sewer collection systems modeling. It is poised to dominate this important industry for the next decade and beyond. With InfoWorks ICM SE, users of InfoWorks CS can now fully leverage the increased power, flexibility and usability of InfoWorks ICM, as well as groundbreaking gains in speed, to easily generate optimized solutions as quickly as possible. This is the next generation of InfoWorks CS — one that empowers engineers worldwide with unprecedented levels of sewer collection system modeling and simulation flexibility.”​

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.

There are four steps to using EMC concentrations in your network: 1. Define your pollutant by adding a pollutant using the Data=>Quality=>Pollutant command : 2. Define the Land Use by using the Data=>Land Uses command or the Land Use Editor: 3. Define Buildup to be None by clicking on the None Tab: 4. Define the EMC Washoff concentration by clicking on the Washoff Tab: This is where you would add a GW concentration More: http://www.swmm2000.com/
