You can model river structures as ancillary links to control flow by influencing the hydraulics of the river.
00:10
In this example, you add an irregular weir to the existing river reach network from survey data stored in a cross section line.
00:19
To complete this exercise, copy the network from the transportable database .icmt file for this tutorial.
00:27
From the Database, double-click the 1D River Model to open it on the GeoPlan.
00:33
To help locate objects the AutoLabel function has been enabled for the Node and Cross section line ID field.
00:41
Click Find in GeoPlan and perform a Quick Find for Weir.
00:47
Once the weir cross section line is located, close the Quick Find window.
00:52
From the GeoPlan Tools toolbar, expand the New Object Type combo box and select Link.
00:60
Draw a new link between the two nodes, from upstream node 15US to downstream node 16DS.
01:10
In the Create New Link popup, set the Type to Irregular weir and the System Type to Other.
01:18
Click OK.
01:20
In the Properties window, notice that the inline validation is red because you have not entered elevation data yet.
01:28
This data is contained within the weir cross section data.
01:32
You can copy and paste the data from one properties table to the other to fix the issue.
01:39
Using the Select tool, double-click the Weir to open its Properties window.
01:45
In the Section data field, click the ellipsis (…) button to open the Section data window.
01:52
Hold the CTRL key as you click the column headers for both Offset and Bed Level (m AD) to select the contents of both columns.
02:04
Right-click the selection and select Copy.
02:08
A popup asks if you want to copy the column headers.
02:11
Click No, and then OK to close the Section data window.
02:16
On the GeoPlan, double-click the new Irregular weir to reopen the Properties window.
02:23
In the Chainage elevation field, click the ellipsis (…) button to open the Chainage elevation table.
02:31
Right-click the first blank cell and select Paste to populate the fields.
02:36
Click OK.
02:38
The validation error is cleared and the crest level is automatically set to the lowest elevation.
