InfoSWMM SA SWMMLive Manager

InfoSWMM SA SWMMLive Manager is the single utility in InfoSWMM SA to manage all interactions between InfoSWMM SA models and SWMMLive model data exchange. It exports the active InfoSWMM SA scenario as the baseline model to SWMMLive. It allows extension of selected InfoSWMM SA scenarios as additional supporting model data to SWMMLive for scenario switching. It also accepts an exported SWMMLive model for detailed diagnosis run in InfoSWMM SA, supported with all the familiar InfoSWMM SA utilities.

InfoSWMM SA SWMMLive Manager is accessed from the AddOn Extension Manager via its toolbar button or from the Tools menu (Tools - AddOn Extension Manager).

The InfoSWMM SA SWMMLive Manager User Interface is shown below.

The InfoSWMM SA SWMMLive Manager main dialog box has three tabs: Export Model to SWMMLive, Extend Scenario Data to SWMMLive, and Diagnose SWMMLive Model.  All model exchanges between InfoSWMM SA and SWMMLive are made through model definition files with extension inp.

• Export Model to SWMMLive - Exports the active InfoSWMM SA model for SWMMLive (InfoSWMM SA) to create a baseline model.  All essential information about the active InfoSWMM SA model is exported into the given inp file.  If current InfoSWMM SA model contains scenario data, this option can be used in conjunction with selected scenarios to export scenario-based models with overriding operational scenario data.  All scenario-based model inp files will be exported to their respective scenario sub-folders under the baseline model path.
• Extend Scenario Data to SWMMLive - Exports additional InfoSWMM SA scenario models based on a provided SWMMLive baseline model.  The operational data from the selected scenarios will be merged into the given SWMMLive reference model to form different scenario models, to be used in SWMMLive.  All scenario-based model inp files will be exported to their respective sub-folders under the given baseline model path.
• Diagnose SWMMLive Model - Diagnoses a given SWMMLive model using the full utilities available from InfoSWMM SA.  The given SWMMLive model is imported into InfoSWMM SA for any diagnosis analysis in InfoSWMM SA.

Export Model to SWMMLive

In the box of Export Model File to SWMMLive, an inp file is specified for InfoSWMM SA SWMMLive Manager to store the InfoSWMM SA model information.

 Browse for a folder location and specify an inp file name.

If the InfoSWMM SA model is blank, SWMMLive Manager will not export.  Otherwise, SWMMLive Manager exports the active scenario as the baseline model to SWMMLive.  

How can there be more flow in a pipe than its full capacity? #SWMM5 and #InfoSWMM - Emoji View

🌊🌀 Unraveling the Pipe Capacity Enigmas of #SWMM5, ICM InfoWorks & ICM SWMM 🚀🌐

📌 Spotlight on Innovyze: Our enlightening journey today seamlessly blends knowledge from the Innovyze blog, tailored especially for the champions of #SWMM5, ICM InfoWorks, and ICM SWMM! 🔍🔗 Innovyze Blog Post

🤔💡 Puzzling Pipe Phenomenon: Ever had those perplexing moments 🙆‍♂️ when, within #SWMM5 or ICM platforms, a surcharged pipe's maximum simulation flow exceeds its full capacity? Sounds baffling, right? How does more water flow than the pipe's capacity? 🌊🔍

📊 Deciphering Qfull: In #SWMM5 and its ICM counterparts, Qfull (from the link input summary table) is sourced from the revered Manning's equation 📜. While this equation is foundational, it's a tad simpler than the intricate St Venant equations 🧮 harnessed by the engines of SWMM5, ICM InfoWorks, and ICM SWMM for model outputs. This leads to minor variances between Qfull (dictated by slope) and the actual flow discharge as determined by the 1D St Venant Equations. Crucial insight: Qfull serves as a handy reference for us, the users 🧑‍💻, and isn't the engine's yardstick for determining pipe surcharge. 🖥️🔗

🧐 Manning's Equation Unveiled: Manning's equation paints a picture of a pipe that stretches limitlessly 🌌. Resultantly, it's common for a pipe to ferry more water than its nominal capacity sans surcharge. Want a litmus test? 🕵️‍♂️ Extend your pipe or stick to a constant max flow, and voilà, brace yourself for the surcharge spectacle! 🌊🎢

📏✨ The Influence of Length: Pipe length isn't just a number; it's a game-changer! 🚀 A nimble 10-meter pipe might effortlessly channel a flow that its 100-meter sibling grapples with, even if they mirror each other in gradient, roughness, and other traits. It all boils down to friction loss, which magnifies with length! 📈🔥

🎉🎈 Golden Nuggets: As stewards of water 💧 and aficionados of #SWMM5, ICM InfoWorks, and ICM SWMM, it's pivotal to fathom that every modeling marvel, be it SWMM or ICM, amalgamates both time-tested wisdom and sophisticated computations. At times, they might seem at odds, but a deeper dive (literally!) can illuminate and elevate our comprehension! 🌟📚🌍

Stay inquisitive, embrace experimentation, and let's champion the cause of seamless water flow! 🌍🌊🤓🎉🥳🌱🌟🎈📊🌈🚀🌐🔍🔗🌀📜🧮🖥️🧑‍💻🙆‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🎢🚀📏🔥🎊📚🌟🎉🌍🌊🤓🎈🎉🎊🌱🌟🎈📊🌈🚀🌐🔍🔗🌀📜🧮🖥️🧑‍💻🙆‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🎢🚀📏🔥🎊📚🌟🎉🌍🌊🤓🎈🎉🎊🌱🌟🎈📊🌈🚀🌐🔍🔗🌀📜🧮🖥️🧑‍💻🙆‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🎢🚀📏🔥🎊📚🌟🎉🌍🌊🤓🎈🎉🎊🌱🌟🎈📊🌈🚀🌐🔍🔗🌀📜🧮🖥️🧑‍💻🙆‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🎢🚀📏🔥🎊📚🌟🎉🌍🌊🤓🎈🎉🎊🌱🌟🎈📊🌈🚀🌐🔍🔗🌀📜🧮🖥️🧑‍💻🙆‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🎢🚀📏🔥🎊📚🌟🎉🌍🌊🤓🎈🎉🎊🌱🌟🎈📊🌈🚀🌐🔍🔗🌀📜🧮🖥️🧑‍💻🙆‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🎢🚀📏🔥🎊📚🌟🎉🌍🌊🤓🎈🎉🎊🌱🌟🎈📊🌈🚀🌐🔍🔗🌀📜🧮🖥️🧑‍💻🙆‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🎢🚀📏🔥🎊📚🌟🎉🌍🌊🤓🎈🎉🎊🌱🌟🎈📊🌈🚀🌐🔍🔗🌀📜🧮🖥️🧑‍💻🙆‍♂️

Use Sublime Text to Diff two files in the same folder for SWMM 5 C Code

Sublime Text is nice but not a free Text Editor for large files.  However, it does have a limited file difference capability – here is how you can use Sublime Text to Diff two files in the same folder for SWMM 5 C Code.  You can also use this to compare dozens of files in Sublime - which is needed for a program such as SWM 5 which has been continuously updated from 2003 to 2017 with at least 35? major version.  This makes it easy for example to compare the groundwater or rdii code between 2005 / 2012 and 2017, for example.

EPA #SWMM5 Build 5.1.012 (03/14/17) Updates

SWMM 5.1 Update History
=======================
https://www.epa.gov/water-research/storm-water-management-model-swmm#downloads
------------------------
Build 5.1.012 (03/14/17)
------------------------

Engine Updates:

1.  The direct.h header is now only #included in the swmm5.c file when
    compiled for Windows. (swmm5.c)

2.  Engine Update #7 in Build 5.1.011 (internally aligning the wet time
    step with the reporting time step) was redacted since it caused
    problems for certain combinations of time steps. (runoff.c)

3.  A subcatchment's bottom elevation is now used instead its parent
    aquifer's value when saving a water table value to the binary results
    file. (subcatch.c)

4.  A bug that failed to limit surface inflitration into a saturated rain
    garden LID unit was fixed. (lidproc.c)

5.  Calculation of the maximum limit on LID drain flows was modified to
    produce smoother results at low depths above the drain offset.
    (lidproc.c)

6.  A variable used for reporting detailed LID results is now properly
    initialized. (lid.c & lid.h)

7.  The occasional writing of duplicate lines to the detailed LID results
    file was fixed. (lidproc.c)

8.  The conversion from conduit seepage rate per unit area to rate per unit
    of length was changed to use top width instead of wetted perimeter since
    only vertical seepage is assumed to occur. (link.c)

9.  The coefficient of the evaporation/seepage term in the dynamic wave
    equation for updating conduit flow was corrected (from 1.5 to 2.5).
    (dwflow.c)

10. The Engels flow equation for side flow weirs was corrected (the original
    equation used in SWMM 3 & 4 was incorrect). (link.c)

11. Crest length reductions for end contractions are no longer used for
    trapezoidal weirs. (link.c)

12. The Slope Correction Factor for culverts with mitered inlets was corrected.
    (culvert.c)

13. An entry in the table of gravel roadway weir coefficients was corrected.
    (roadway.c)

14. The user supplied minimum slope option is now initialized to 0.0
    (meaning none is provided). (project.c)

15. NO/YES are no longer accepted as attributes for the NORMAL_FLOW_LIMITED
    dynamic wave simulation option (only SLOPE/FROUDE/BOTH are valid).
    (project.c)

16. Changes were made so that the Routing Events and Skip Steady Flow
    options work correctly together. (routing.c & globals.h)

17. Steady state periods with no flow routing no longer contribute to the
    routing time step statistics. (stats.c and report.c)

18. When compiling statistics on the frequency of full conduit flow the
    number of barrels is now accounted for. (stats.c)

19. Under kinematic wave or steady flow routing, the water level in
    storage nodes that have no outflow links is now updated correctly
    over time. (flowrout.c) 

20. The formula for the depth at maximum width for the Modified Basket Handle
    cross section was corrected. (xsect.c)


GUI Updates:

1.  Profile plots now correctly update the main and axis title text when
    changed via the Profile Plot Options dialog. Also the downstream
    offset height of non-conduit links is set to 0 on the plot.

2.  The LID Control Editor now sets the Storage Layer Thickness to 0 when
    a Rain Garden is selected as the type of LID being edited.

3.  An OnChange event handler was added to each of the LID Control Editor's
    data fields to record when a value is changed.

Graphing Infographic for #InfoSWMM

Graphing Infographic for InfoSWMM. Three different ways to run models :
1. Batch Mode
2. Single Run Manager
3. Changing Scenarios and then using the Single Run Manager

Six Depth and Flow Processes in #SWMM5

This is a backup post to go with the EPA hydrology manual (Manual I) which can download in PDF format here

https://www.epa.gov/water-research/storm-water-management-model-swmm#downloads

There are three runoff surfaces on a SWMM5 Subcatchment: Impervious with depression storage, Impervious without depression storage and pervious area with depression storage (Figure 1).  The depression storage can be zero in all cases.

Figure 1.  Three Runoff Areas for Subcatchments in SWMM5

You can see the flow from all three areas (Figure 2).  If you look at the following graph the flow in the impervious and pervious area with depression storage is delayed as the depth in the area has to increase enough to reach the depression storage as you can see in Figure 3-2 from the EPA Manual.

Figure 2. Graphs of Three Runoff Surfaces or Areas + Total Runoff

You can see the depth from all three areas (Figure 3).  If you look at the following graph the flow in the impervious and pervious area with depression storage is greater than the depth in the impervious area with depression storage as the runoff commences right away in the area without depression storage.

Figure 3. Graphs of Three Runoff Surfaces or Areas

In Figure 4 you can see the Runoff from the Pervious area does not occur until the depth in the pervious area is greater than the depression storage of 1 inches.

=========================
The following is based on the readme.txt for compiling that EPA distributes with the SWMM5 install

1. Open the file swmm5.c in a text editor and make sure that the
   compiler directives at the top of the file read as follows:
       //#define CLE
       //#define SOL
       #define DLL   or the DLL will be created

2. Create a sub-directory named VC2010_DLL under the directory where
   the SWMM 5 Engine source code files are stored and copy SWMM5.DEF
   and VC2010-DLL.VCPROJ to it.

3. Launch Visual C++ 2010 and use the File / Open command to open
   the VC2010-DLL.VCPROJ file.

4. Issue the Build >> Configuration Manager command and select the
   Release configuration.

5. Issue the Build VC2010-DLL command to build SWMM5.DLL
   (which will appear in the Release subdirectory underneath the
   VC2010-DLL directory).

NOTE: The VC-2010 project file includes Open MP support which is
      only available with the Professional and higher versions of
      the compiler.
