Hi, is there a particular message you want more information about? I do reference some of the errors in the other blogs.

Unknown said...

thanks for this useful information! Can you provide me some more information on error 353? what is the valid format interface files?

Robert Dickinson said...

Hi, basically error 353 means you have the wrong number of pollutants, the wrong type of keyword (for example, it looks for the word flow) or values for the interface file locations less than 0

// --- check for correct file type
fgets(line, MAXLINE, Finflows.file);
sscanf(line, "%s", s);
if ( !strcomp(s, "SWMM5") )
{
report_writeErrorMsg(ERR_ROUTING_FILE_FORMAT, Finflows.name);
return;

I keep getting "ERROR 209: undefined object..." about a node I just added. I can't figure out why it's not recognizing the node. Any suggestions?

Robert Dickinson said...

You should look at the rpt file and it should tell you the last line read.

Genevieve Chambliss said...

Here's what is says:

ERROR 209: undefined object IECJ07 at line 4570 of [CONDUIT] section:

Where do I find lines 4570 and 7513? I'm not sure I'm looking in the right spot.

Robert Dickinson said...

Hi,it means the node IECJ07 is not in your model, I would search for in the SWMM 5 input file to make sure or the search the SWMM 5 GUI

Genevieve Chambliss said...

I finally figured it out! I just added the node and somehow it was turned off in the facility manager. Working now. Thanks!

Hi i have a broplem on

Robert Dickinson said...

Hi Dan,
I think from your snippet it means that you have not defined the name of the raingage? At any rate this message means that some data is missing from the line.

Unknown said...

On i have Named the rain station as SP1 . and on the start the error has been seen

Matt Harper said...

I am trying to model a storm water pipe system that has 1 conduit entering a node and 2 conduits leaving the node. I am getting error message 133. Is there a way around this?

Genevieve Chambliss said...

Got a bunch of ERROR 115: adverse slope for Conduit errors. Would a negative slope prevent the model from running? My boss thought it would run still.

Robert Dickinson said...

Hello Genevieve,
If you are using the Kinematic wave solution then you cannot have adverse slopes, if you switch to dynamic wave in Options then it will run - you can run all types of slopes.
I hope this helps.

Unknown said...

I keep getting "ERROR 209: undefined object 0 at line 2219 of [INFLOW] section:
99 FLOW 0 FLOW 1.0 1.0 0.07 2. Any suggestions?

Robert Dickinson said...

Here is what the inflows should look like

[INFLOWS]
;; Param Units Scale Baseline Baseline
;;Node Parameter Time Series Type Factor Factor Value Pattern
;;-------------- ---------------- ---------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --------
102 FLOW INFLOW@102 FLOW 1.0 1.0
1SB3_MIL FLOW INFLOW@1SB3_MIL FLOW 1.0 1.0
1SB1 FLOW INFLOW@1SB1 FLOW 1.0 1.0

it looks like you have two columns with the name flow or a time series with the name flow

Dear All, I have a real case in simulating the Stormwater system, as described below:
- The Outfall of this system was influenced by tidal regime: 0-12 AM, the maximum of tidal height is + 85m above mean sea level, 13-23 PM that of tide is + 94m. In case, +85 tidal height, the stormwater system can discharge into outfall freely but in case of +94m. the stormwater system was impacted by tide and can not discharge into outfall. So, Please help me to simulate this case by using SWMM Model? Thanks all,

Thanks for this. Is there more information available for Error 185? I have checked each tab in my Bio-Retention control editor, and see no red flags for improper values.
Thanks

Hi i am constantly getting error 363: invalid format of input file. how can I resolve the issue.
I am tryin to see precipitation events.
Thanks yoU,

Hi, could you help me please?
ERROR 363: invalid data in external file used for Time Series Lluvia.
Thank you!

Robert Dickinson said...

Hi, Can you send me your external data to robert.dickinson@gmail.com as there is probably a time or date issue.

HOW CAN I RESOLVE ERROR 329? I AM NEW TO THIS. PLEASE HELP

Robert Dickinson said...

How did you make your runoff interface file? Is it a valid file?

Anonymous said...

I KEEP GETTING ERROR 325 AFTER I MODIFY THE EXISTING MODEL. WE RECEIVED THE INTERFACE FILE FROM THE ONE WHO CREATED THE MODEL. THE PRE CONDITION RUN SUCCESSFULLY BUT WHILE I MODIFY IT IN POST CONDITION (I.E. ADDING A NEW SUBBASIN, NODES/LINKS), IT GETS ME ERROR 325.

I RUN 100 YEARS EVENTS SUCCESFULLY IN PRE, I MODIFY THAT FOR POST CONDITION AND IT IS WORKING PERFECTLY. HOWEVER, I GET 325 ERROR IN 25 YEARS & 10 YEARS EVENTS. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP?
