InfoWorks ICM is both a geospatial user interface and a hydraulic simulation engine.
00:10
You work in the geospatial user interface to build models.
00:14
The simulation engine uses complex hydraulic calculations to generate simulation outputs.
00:28
The conveyance function is based on either the Colebrook-White or Manning expressions.
00:34
You can simulate gravity, pressured, or forcemain solutions for both dry weather and wet weather analysis.
00:41
Simulations can include all components of domestic and non-domestic flow, runoff, infiltration, and other sources of inflow.
00:51
One advantage of the ICM simulation engine is that it uses a dynamic time step.
00:57
This means that it varies the simulation time step based on the convergence of the equations.
01:03
Larger timesteps are used when possible, as they can be beneficial to long duration and time series simulations.
01:10
The 2D engine uses shallow water equations.
01:14
That is, the depth average version of the Navier-Stokes equations is used for the mathematical representation of the 2D flow.
01:21
These equations assume that flow is predominantly horizontal,
01:25
and that the variation of the velocity over the vertical coordinate can be ignored.
01:30
Unlike the 1D scheme, the 2D scheme is an explicit solution.
01:35
That means it does not require iteration to achieve stability within defined tolerances.
01:41
Instead, for each element, the required time step is calculated using the Courant Friedrichs Lewy condition to achieve stability.
01:50
You can also model complex ancillary structures, such as pumping stations, overflows, and wastewater treatment facilities.
01:58
A real-time control component allows you to control regulators during the simulation.
02:04
For example, you could use real-time control to open and close sluice gates.
02:10
A water quality module allows you to simulate the movement, deposition,
02:14
and erosion of sediment and determinants through the drainage system.

InfoWorks ICM is both a geospatial user interface and a hydraulic simulation engine. You work in the geospatial user interface to build models. The simulation engine uses complex hydraulic calculations to generate simulation outputs.
1D model simulations use the St. Venant equations, which govern the conservation of mass and momentum. The conveyance function is based on either the Colebrook-White or Manning expressions.
A real-time control component (RTC) allows you to control regulators during the simulation.
A water quality module allows you to simulate:
