Long Sections are useful for reviewing results of a simulation.
00:07
The Long Section window displays a cross-section of network objects through the length of a selected run.
00:14
When viewing simulation results in a Long Section window,
00:18
you can enhance the view further by displaying additional information along with the default water level and total head.
00:25
To complete this exercise, copy the data out of the transportable database .icmt file for this tutorial.
00:33
Double-click the Design Run simulation to open the run in the GeoPlan.
00:39
You can also drag the 1D Results theme object onto the GeoPlan,
00:44
so you can see the previously created themes in the Long Section window as well.
00:49
Click the Find in GeoPlan tool and perform a Quick Find for outfall node TF91299305.
00:60
With the node selected on the GeoPlan, click the Long Section pick tool,
01:04
and then click the upstream link that connects to the selected node.
01:09
The Long Section window opens with the results of the four selected links, traveling upstream and ending at the junction.
01:16
You can pick and add individual links by holding the Ctrl key and selecting the objects.
01:22
You can use the Replay Control toolbar to play or step forward through the simulation,
01:27
to see how the rainfall causes flooding and surcharge through the selected nodes.
01:33
To modify the orientation, colors, and fill of the section, right-click the Long Section and select Properties.
01:41
If you want the window to display more information, you can customize which results fields are displayed.
01:47
In the Section Properties dialog, on the Content tab, click Field Settings to open the Network Label Field Settings dialog.
01:56
Select Node, and in the list of fields on the right, enable Ground level and Flood depth.
02:06
Now select the Conduit object, and in the field list, enable DS flow and DS velocity.
02:16
Click OK twice to exit the two windows.
02:20
You can now see these fields update dynamically as you play or step forward using the Replay Control toolbar.
02:29
Right click on the long section again.
02:32
This will display the long section tools which can also be selected from the section menu.
02:38
These tools allow you to quickly make or create from selections, export to AutoCAD DWG and open the object grid windows.
