Unlocking the Synergy of Ruby and SQL Scripting inside ICM: Streamlining InfoWorks and SWMM Network Management with a Deep Dive into Data Structures
The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) and InfoWorks networks share a common user experience (UX); similar data structures, output files, UX tools, and Ruby and SQL scripting mean that both systems have been designed with a focus on user-friendliness and interoperability. This facilitates the learning curve and overall productivity for … Read the rest
How to Use Tracer Water Quality for RDII, DWF, and Runoff in an InfoWorks ICM Network – Use SWMM5 Washoff
The integration of ICM SWMM into the ICM platform has brought with it the inclusion of the SWMM5 Buildup Washoff feature. This allows users to analyze the impact of tracer concentrations on a 1D network, specifically in determining the percentage contribution of real-time kinematic (RTK) urban hydrology or runoff to … Read the rest
