Updating and visualizing criticality in the CLA results

Once the CLA run is complete, first make sure both the Critical Link Analysis network and control are open.

  1. Expand Network and select Update > Criticality.

In the InfoWorks WS Pro interface, Update selected in the Network menu, and in the flyout, Criticality selected and called out.

  1. From the Model Group, drag and drop the CLA run into the Run box of the Update criticality from CLA run dialog.
  2. Click Update.

The Network – Control window in the background, with the Update criticality from CLA run dialog box open in the foreground, with the completed CLA run dragged and dropped from the Model Group window into the Run box and Update being selected.

The workspace updates with a message stating that the Criticality update succeeded:

The notification dialog box, informing the user that the Criticality update succeeded, and that there was a total of 366 tests in this example.

  1. Close the message.
  2. Commit the changes to the database.
  3. With the Properties tool enabled, click any pipe that was included in the CLA run to view its properties:

The Properties window, Model Group window, and Network open, with a pipe in the network selected and highlighted, and in the Properties window, the Criticality and Criticality Count values highlighted.

Note: After the criticality update, a theme can be applied that can better aid in understanding the results of the simulation.

  1. Drag and drop the Criticality theme onto the Network.

The pipes will change color, depending on the updated criticality.

The final CLA shown in the Network + Control window, with a Criticality theme applied, and the color of the pipes changed, based on the updated criticality.
