With a set of results loaded onto the GeoPlan,
00:06
you can use 2D results analysis objects to interrogate larger groups of elements within a 2D mesh.
00:21
can be extremely useful for high-level results investigations.
00:25
Once created, results analysis objects can be saved as results analysis items for use on different sets of results.
00:34
The calculations are undertaken using the time-varying element results, so they should be used with caution.
00:40
For accurate results, especially relating to flows,
00:44
the Network results objects (2d) should be used but these must be built into the mesh prior to simulation.
00:51
To start, from the File menu, select Open>Open transportable database.
00:57
Open the folder where you downloaded the files for this exercise and select the .icmt file.
01:03
Click Open.
01:05
If a popup displays about opening the database as read-only, click Yes.
01:10
Right-click the top-level folder and select Copy.
01:14
When the pop-up displays, click Continue.
01:17
In the Explorer window, right-click the Database and select Paste (with children).
01:23
In the Copying pop-up, enable Copy simulation results.
01:27
Click Continue.
01:29
Open 2D Dam Breach on the GeoPlan, to ensure the model opens with the simulation results applied.
01:35
Progress the simulation to the point before the structure fails, and then zoom into that area.
01:42
First, create a 2D results polygon.
01:46
In the GeoPlan Tools toolbar, expand the New Object Type drop-down and select Polygon.
01:53
Click New Object. If needed, zoom out for a clear view of the water approaching the dam.
01:58
Right click to create a polygon around an area of the water and the dam.
02:03
Double-click to close the polygon.
02:07
In the New Polygon dialog, ID field, type “2D Volume”, and then click OK.
02:14
The polygon you created now appears highlighted.
02:17
Next, create a results section.
02:19
In the New Object Type drop-down, select Line,
02:23
and then draw a line along the dam on the upstream side.
02:29
In the New Line dialog, in the Name field, type “2D Collapse”, and then click OK.
02:35
Now, you can use some of the graphing tools to look at the results.
02:39
In the Results toolbar, select Graph Pick.
02:43
Click inside the polygon on your 2D River Model.
02:46
The Multiple Selection dialog appears.
02:49
Select 2D Volume Results polygon 2D.
02:53
Click OK.
02:55
The Graph dialog appears with several options.
02:59
Select Volume enclosed by polygon (m3).
03:02
Click OK.
03:04
A 2D River Model graph window displays the maximum volume contained by the structure prior to collapse.
03:10
Close the tab.
03:13
Next with the graph pick on, click the results section line you drew.
03:17
In the Graph dialog, select Flow through line (m3/s).
03:24
The resulting graph displays the flow through the line you drew as reaching over 7000 m3/s,
03:30
meaning the water would do significant damage to anything in its path.
03:34
Close the tab.
03:36
Once you create 2D results objects, you can save them for future use, or add them to a different set of results.
03:43
To do this, in the Explorer window, click the Database tab.
03:47
In the GeoPlan Tools toolbar, click the Selection tool and make sure the GeoPlan is selected.
03:53
Right-click on the model group and select, New InfoWorks > Results analysis.
03:58
In the Results analysis dialog, you can rename your results analysis, but for this exercise, click OK.
04:05
In the Explorer window, your work is saved within the new Results analysis item, which can also be viewed as a graph or exported.

With a set of results loaded onto the GeoPlan, 2D results analysis objects can be used to interrogate larger groups of elements within a 2D mesh.
2D results analysis objects—2D results polygons, results sections, and 2D results points—can be extremely useful for high-level results investigations.
Once created, results analysis objects can be saved as results analysis items for use on different sets of results. Calculations are undertaken using time-varying element results, so they should be used with caution.
For accurate results, especially relating to flows, Network results objects (2D) should be used, but they must be built into the mesh prior to simulation.
First, create a 2D results polygon:
To create a results section:
To use some of the graphing tools to look at the results:
A 2D River Model graph window displays the maximum volume contained by the structure prior to collapse.
The resulting graph displays the flow through the drawn line as reaching over 7000 m3/s, meaning the water would do significant damage to anything in its path.
Once 2D results objects are created, they can be saved for future use, or added to a different set of results:
