HOW TO USE GIS GATEWAY IN INFOSWMM TO CREATE BOTH DATA AND MODEL RESULTS SHAPEFILES

 

GIS Gateway – Create Shapefile

The Create Shapefile tool available from the GIS Gateway, allows you to create a new ESRI® Shapefile directly from InfoSWMM data. Any data associated with each data type can be used to populate the new Shapefile attribute table. The tool can be applied to a Domain or to the Active Network as needed.

The dialog box looks like this:

A description of the features:

Feature/ButtonDescription
Data TypeChoose the modeling data type that the new Shapefile will be based on
Fields to ExportDepending on which Data Type was chosen, a list of available information fields will be shown. Use click, ctrl-click or shift-click to select all fields you wish to include in the new Shapefile’s Attribute Table.
Apply on DomainIf this option is chosen, only features contained in the current Domain (if one is defined) will be exported to the new Shapefile.
Apply on Active NetworkIf this option is chosen, only features in the Active Network will be exported.
ShapefileThis box contains the filepath and filename of the new Shapefile
Use the Browse button to choose a filepath and filename for the new Shapefile
CreateWhen all parameters are selected, click this button to export the Shapefile
CloseClose the dialog box without exporting the Shapefile

Low Impact Development Control Editor in InfoSWMM based on SWMM5

Low Impact Development Control Editor

The LID Control Editor is used to define a low impact development control that can be deployed throughout a study area to store, infiltrate, and evaporate Subcatchment runoff. The design of the control is made on a per-unit-area basis so that it can be placed in any number of Subcatchments at different sizes or number of replicates.

 

The editor contains the following data entry fields:

Control Name

A name used to identify the particular LID control.

LID Type

The generic type of LID being defined (bio-retention cell, porous pavement, infiltration trench, rain barrel, or vegetative swale).

Process Layers

These are a tabbed set of pages containing data entry fields for the vertical layers and underdrain that comprise an LID control. They include some combination of the following, depending on the type of LID selected:

<![if !supportLists]>·        <![endif]>Surface Layer

<![if !supportLists]>·        <![endif]>Pavement Layer

<![if !supportLists]>·        <![endif]>Soil Layer

<![if !supportLists]>·        <![endif]>Storage Layer

<![if !supportLists]>·        <![endif]>UnderDrain System

<![if !supportLists]>·        <![endif]>Pollutant Removals

Hidden features of the 1D St Venant solution for SWMM5, InfoSWMM, and ICM SWMM Networks


🌍 Deep Dive into InfoSWMM SA & Its Nuances 🌊

1/ 🚀 ArcEngine InfoSWMM SA: This variant of InfoSWMM, known as InfoSWMM SA, reveals some fascinating, often overlooked features of the 1D St Venant solution. This extends to software like SWMM5, InfoSWMM, and ICM SWMM Networks. Dive into SA's capabilities with these intriguing output graphs and reports! 🖼️ [Image]

2/ 💾 Software Compatibility: ArcEngine InfoSWMM SA 3.0 is built on ESRI's 10.7 version, while InfoSWMM is more adaptable, running on ArcMap versions ranging from 10.3 to 10.8. 🖼️ [Image]

3/ 🌐 ArcGIS ESRI Software Family: For those curious about how ArcMap fits into the broader ArcGIS ESRI suite, here's a tidbit: ArcMap specializes in 2D spatial data visualization and editing. For a deeper dive, check out ArcGIS Wikipedia. 🖼️ [Image]

4/ 💡 Flow Insights in SWMM5: The SWMM5 engine calculates the flow at the link's midpoint, relying on upstream and downstream hydraulic data. Outputs in this context span Flow, Depth, Capacity, and the Froude Number. 🖼️ [Image]

5/ 📊 Capacity Analysis: In SWMM5, while the flow is gauged at the link's midpoint, associated data like depth and capacity follow suit. Here, "Capacity" is derived from the middle cross-sectional area divided by the full flow area. 🖼️ [Image]

6/ 📈 Velocity in SWMM5: The velocity, a derived output in SWMM5, is calculated using the link's midpoint flow and the depth-related cross-sectional area. 🖼️ [Image]

7/ 🚦 Capacity vs. Surcharge d/D: While SWMM5 displays the capacity (area/full area), InfoSWMM further offers insights into the Surcharged d/D – essentially the average of upstream & downstream depths. A point to note: Capacity ranges between 0 and 1, but Surcharge d/D might exceed 1. 🖼️ [Image]

8/ 🌪 Flow Volume & Froude Number: Both are computed outputs in SWMM5. Notably, the Froude Number works in tandem with the Keep, Dampen, and Ignore parameters, influencing the non-linear term's inclusion/exclusion in the St Venant Equation solution. 🖼️ [Image]

9/ 🌊 Velocity Outputs in SWMM5: Besides the central flow output, SWMM5 provides computed outputs for upstream and downstream velocity, derived from the link's flow and the respective cross-sectional areas. 🖼️ [Image]

10/ 📜 Area in 1D St Venant Solution: This solution leverages upstream and downstream cross-sectional areas, extracted from the respective depths. These play a pivotal role in the solution's non-linear term. 🖼️ [Image]

11/ 📐 Upstream & Downstream Depths in SWMM5: These depths, pivotal in SWMM5, are based on node area rules and the corresponding node depths. Depth essentially is the node depth, but can differ if there are offsets, normal depth, or critical depth. 🖼️ [Image]

Stay curious, and keep exploring these water systems' intricacies! 💧🔍📘🎉

What Folders and Files you should see for every InfoSWMM project

What Folders and Files you should see for every InfoSWMM project

  1. A valid name – not Untitled
  2. A ISDB folder with DBF Model Network and Ancillary Data
