Want to solve differential equations? Think about how you ride your bike
If you’re serious about modeling, you’ll need to understand how the engine solves differential equations sooner or later. So the next time the engine does something strange, you’ll know what to look for.
Most people, I believe, are like me in that they cannot derive their intuition from equations; it … Read the rest

Reporting Time Step vs Simulation Time Step
If you are new to modeling, very quickly you’ll find the peak flow can be different in your graph and your model results summary. How can that be, which one is correct?
The difference lies in how the peak flow is calculated. The engine keeps track of peak flow for … Read the rest

Getting Started with Ruby Scripting for InfoWorks
Introduction
InfoWorks is a powerful platform with thousands of functions. Ruby scripting is a great way to automate repeated or tedious modeling tasks.
However, getting started with Ruby scripting can feel quite intimidating.

How to model a screen in InfoWorks ICM
Introduction
Screen is modeled using the Kirschmer’s equation in ICM. Refer to this Reference PDF on pg 5 for more information.
As shown above, it is an empirical equation based on the configuration of the screen. Field measured data probably will be needed for more accurate results(refer to this study… Read the rest
