New InfoWorks ICM SE Delivers Higher Levels of Productivity For Sanitary, Storm and Combined Sewer Modeling and Management
|
Broomfield, Colorado, USA, March 4, 2014 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced the release of InfoWorks ICM SE (Sewer Edition). Since its first release in 2010, InfoWorks ICM has rapidly become the solution of choice for integrated river, sewer and overland flow modeling by utilities, municipalities, local authorities 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 program 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 its 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 — providing 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.) The software 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 visualization and reporting tools; additional modeling capabilities (e.g., SWMM5 and CS Horton infiltration, non-prismatic open channels, H2S, Algae, nutrient dynamics); enhanced database and scenario management; multivariable themes and mapping; and stunning graphics. Such 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. “We continue to listen to our customers’ wants and needs and devote extensive resources to delivering an extended product portfolio that not only recognizes user 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. “With InfoWorks ICM SE, users of InfoWorks CS can now fully leverage the increased power, flexibility and usability of InfoWorks ICM along with groundbreaking gains in speed, to easily generate optimized solutions as quickly as possible. The release empowers engineers worldwide with new levels of sewer collection system modeling and simulation flexibility.” |

Tip for The Ponding Allowed Option in SWMM 5
Normally, it is better to have smaller ponding allowed area in SWMM 5 due to considerations outlined in this earlier blog and 2nd Blog but if you have a low lying area with ponding allowed it is better if you have a larger ponding area so that the depth above the rim elevation of the node is small and you do not set up reverse flow and cause flooding at other modes due to the higher HGL. Figure 1 illustrates a typical HGL profile and Figure 2 shows the better flooding graphs as you increase the ponding surface area for the low lying node.

CSV File DWF Suggestion for Importing SWMM5 Flows to ICM
1. SWMM 5 has DWF enter at a node and ICM has DWF as part of the Subcatchment Loading
2. Thee Import and Export From ICM needs manual adjustment of the DWF
3. One way to do this is to make an ICM CSV file to import the DWF Section of SWMM 5 (Figure 1)
4. Which allows you to manipulate the flow DWF in SWMM 5 to the population based DWF in ICM and IWCS.
Here is one example
ObjectTable,subcatchment_id,population

Innovyze President Dr. Paul F. Boulos Elected to National Academy of Engineering
|
Broomfield, Colorado, USA, February 11, 2014 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced that its president, COO and chief technical officer, Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, F.ASCE, was elected to the prestigious National Academy of Engineering (NAE) on February 6. In total, the academy welcomed 67 new American members and 11 foreign associates this year, bringing the total U.S. membership to 2,250 and the number of foreign associates to 214.
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature,” and to the “pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education.” The academy’s citation recognized Boulos “for contributions to theory and practice of computational hydraulics simulation technology for water infrastructure.” Along with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the Institute of Medicine (IOM), and the National Research Council (NRC), it is part of the National Academies, founded by congressional charter and signed into being by President Lincoln in 1863. Under this charter the NAE is directed “whenever called upon by any department or agency of the government, to investigate, examine, experiment, and report upon any subject of science or art.” “While I am truly honored and humbled by this great recognition, it must be shared with my mentors and colleagues whose inspiration and support played a significant part in making these achievements possible,” Boulos said of his election. “It’s wonderful to know that my contributions to water infrastructure engineering — such a vital aspect of human life — are being recognized in this exceptional way.” One of the world’s foremost experts on water resources and navigation engineering, Dr. Boulos is the author of nine authoritative books and more than 100 technical articles on issues critical to the water and wastewater industry. He has received a range of honors from national and international scientific and engineering societies, governments, universities and NGOs, including notable technical awards for excellence in scholarship from the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Water Works Association and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Dr. Boulos is a recipient of the U.S. Ellis Island Medal of Honor, one of America’s highest accolades; the Pride of Heritage Award from the Lebanese American Foundation; and the Lebanese American University Alumni of the Year Award. He was inducted into the University of Kentucky College of Engineering Hall of Distinction, the highest honor the university bestows on its alumni. Dr. Boulos was also awarded Honorary Diplomate status (Hon.D.WRE) by the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers as well as Distinguished Diplomate status in Navigation Engineering (Dist. D.NE) by the Academy of Coastal, Ocean, Port & Navigation Engineers, the top honors for both academies. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a Diplomate (by Eminence) of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers. Dr. Boulos chairs the Board of Trustees of the Lebanese American University (New York, NY, and Beirut, Lebanon) and the Board of Trustees of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers. He also serves on the Boards of Directors of Innovyze, MWH Global (Broomfield, CO), Academy of Coastal, Ocean, Port & Navigation Engineers, and America-Mideast Educational and Training Services, Inc./AMIDEAST (Washington, D.C.); and on the Dean’s International Council of the Harris School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago (Chicago, IL). Dr. Boulos received his Doctorate, Master of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Kentucky, along with a Bachelor’s degree in General Science from the Lebanese American University. He has also completed Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program. For more information on the National Academies, visit http://www.nationalacademies. |
