The Powerful Domain Manager in InfoSWMM and InfoSWMM SA for SWMM5 Modeling

A Domain is a temporarily selected subset of network components. The Domain can be used for a variety of purposes including:

• Assigning values globally "on the fly" through the Group Editing on Domain options.
• Selecting a subset of the network for contouring, annotating, etc.
• Restricting the database records that are available for editing using the Database Editor.
• Creating Selection Sets (see Selection Sets).
• Restricting model results to identify network components that are chosen as a part of a Domain.
• In general, Domain Manager is used as a quick editing feature by selecting subset of network elements. In the contrary, the Facility Manager is used to select elements (e.g., subset of a drainage system) to be considered during model simulation. In other words, only the facilities selected (active facilities) are considered during simulation, and inactive (deactivated) facilities are regarded as non-existent.

Domain Manager Description

To initiate the Domain manager dialog box, shown below, do one of the following:

• If you are using the InfoSWMM SA ribbon choose the Domain Manager (if you are using H2OMap SWMM or InfoSWMM the ribbon shows the command organization of the SWMM interface GUI's

• From InfoSWMM Tools Menus
  • From InfoSWMM Control Center Toolbar, click on InfoSWMM button
• Select the Tools menu, and click on the Domain Manager .
• From InfoSWMM Edit Network Toolbar
• From H2OMAP SWMM Tools Menu
  • Select Domain and click on the Domain Manager .
• From H2OMAP SWMM Edit Toolbar
  • Click on the (i.e. Domain Manager) button, and you will see the following dialog box.
• 

Element Source

Apply to Active Facility Only - This check box applies to active facilities created from the Facility Manager only. If not checked, selection will include all elements, regardless of active/inactive status.

• Map Selection – Pick the network components to be included in the domain in the map view. Using the mouse, drag and drop a rectangle around the area to be selected or select individual elements. When selection is completed right click and either select Enter to accept the selection or Cancel to disregards the selection and exit.
• DB Query - Define those network components to be included in the domain by way of a database query statement
• Query Set – Define those network components to be included in the domain with a query set (a collection of individual database query statements).
• Selection Set – Include those components in an existing selection set into the domain.
• Special Query – Include all network components that meet the criteria of one of the special predefined queries. Examples of special queries are all rdii nodes, all controlled elements, etc.
• Network – Include all network components, or alternately, all components of a single component type, in the facility set/domain.
• Network Path - Allows the user to select a group of elements along a path by selecting the beginning and end node. A path is automatically selected connecting the beginning and end points and entered into the domain. The path selection process will attempt to find the shortest distance between selected node points. If a particular path is desired, short segments can be selected and joined together or added to an existing domain.
