Adverse Slope Convention in SWMM 5

Subject:  Adverse Slope Convention  in  SWMM 5

 If the slope of a link  is negative and the solution  is dynamic wave then the following data will be switched in link.c in SWMM 5.  All upstream data for the  link  is switched to the downstream end of the link  and  vice versa.   The means that if the flow  is from the original upstream node to the downstream node the flow  will  be negative in the output of  SWMM 5. 

 Negative flow in SWMM 5 means:

 1.   The link has an adverse or negative slope,

2.   The link  has reverse flow if the link slope is positive.

How to make a shape file from a Output Related in InfoSWMM

Note:   How to make a shape file from a Output Related in InfoSWMM:

Step 1.  Make an Output Relate for the Conduit Summary Table using the Operation Tab in Attribute Browser.

Step 2:  Using the GIS Gateway you can save q/Q and d/D to a shape file that can then be added to the Arc GIS Table of  Contents

Step 3.   You now have a Shape File for the value of q/Q or Flow over Full Flow.  You can also use the Symbology Tab in Data Properties to color and/or make bar charts and bubble charts from the summary q/Q and d/D values during the simulation for each link.

InfoSWMM and H2oMAP SWMM Facility Manager

The InfoSWMM Facility Manager offers the knowledgeable engineer complete control what elements are simulated in her or his model.  You can make active or inactivate elements based the type of Network Element, A Network Path, A Mouse Drawn Map Selection, The Domain, A selection set, a DB Query, a Query Set and a Special Query.  You can make the simulated network smaller or larger depending on your simulation or calibration requirements.  For example, you can have a whole basin network but model only a branch or a subset of the network if you are using the Calibrator or Designer Addons.

How to Find the Proportional loading to a link or manhole in InfoSewer

Subject:  How to Find the Proportional loading to a link  or manhole in InfoSewer

You can use the Upstream Trace tool in InfoSewer to find the upstream nodes and links from any link in InfoSewer.   Once you have the upstream traced network then assing the traced upstream nodes and links to the  domain.  Once you have the domain then these steps will allow you to calculate the proportion of flows from each upstream node and map the proportion using Map Display.

Step 1.  Use the Tool Trace Upstream Network to find and make a Domain out of the Traced upstream Network

Step 2.  The Traced Upstream Network

Step 3.  Use the created domain in Output Report Tabular Reports

Step 4.  Copy the ID and Total Flow from the Loading Manhole Report

Step 5.  Use the Domain in the DB Table Manhole Infomation

Step 6.  Create a new information field called Proportion for example

Step 7.  Map the new data field proportion using Map Display

Step 8.  Now you have a Map Display of the Proportional loading to a link  or manhole in InfoSewer

Step 9.  40 percent of the flow comes from one node an the other 60 percent comes from the other node to the link with a d/D over 0.5.
