Transects in #InfoSWMM and #SWMM5
- There is only one transect per link and the shape stays the same from the upstream to the downstream node
- The links are irregular channels with the name of the imported HEC-RAS transect defining the shape of the transect (Bullet 1)
- The transects are converted from the station/elevation pairs to normalized depth and width tables (Bullet 2)
- The inverts used for the links are independent of the station/elevation pairs, if the offset is zero then the invert of the link equals the invert of the upstream or downstream node (Bullet 3)
- The normalized tables are shown in the text report file (Bullet 4)
- If the node depth or rim elevation is lower than the depth of the transect the depth is increased internally in the engine (Bullet 5)
- If you only have one
transect for the culvert you can assign the same transect name to both the
upstream and downstream irregular links
