once you have your surface data imported and configured to appear as you wish,
00:08
you can start building your drainage system.
00:11
Keep in mind that the goal is to build a
00:13
computer model representation of what has been built in reality
00:17
or what will exist in reality
00:19
depending on the type of plan you're working with,
00:22
you may have to make some assumptions during the model build process,
00:25
but the goal is to create a model that is as close to reality as possible
00:31
in the tool box, there are four types of objects that you can place in your model.
00:35
Inflows, junctions, stormwater controls and connections
00:42
expand junctions
00:44
here, you can choose from manholes, simple junctions or standard manholes.
00:51
These are the objects that are generally placed first
00:54
and then connected.
00:56
Now expand connections
00:59
here.
00:59
You can see the objects that make up those connections such as culverts,
01:03
pipes and channels.
01:06
So essentially you will create a series of manholes connected by a series of pipes
01:13
expand stormwater controls.
01:16
These objects include ponds, trenches, tanks,
01:20
and other similar sustainable urban drainage systems or suds structures.
01:27
These are sometimes called best management practice structures or BMPs,
01:32
or they may be called L.
01:33
I. D. S. For low impact development structures,
01:38
expand inflows.
01:40
These objects are going to be the info drainage contributions
01:43
to the model and they include base flow catchment area,
01:48
green roof and hydro graph.
01:52
Keep in mind that because info drainage uses a more advanced simulation engine,
01:57
there are very few restrictions on your design.
02:01
For example,
02:02
you are not restricted when it comes to naming
02:04
conventions for the objects you place in the model.
02:08
Whereas if you are familiar with micro drainage and
02:11
the restrictions of the naming system in that program,
02:13
be aware that those restrictions do not apply in info drainage,
02:19
you are also not restricted to the number of connections you can make to objects.
02:24
The only restriction is actually a best practice,
02:27
and that is to connect your drainage system
02:29
structures starting upstream and working your way downstream.
02:34
This will allow the graphing tools to display their data correctly.
02:38
Otherwise, the graphics will reflect a negative flow.
