New scenarios can be kept separate from a copy of the base
00:16
model while still sharing data within the version controlled commit history.
00:21
When creating and working with scenarios,
00:23
it is important to have a matching network and control.
00:25
Open
00:27
scenarios can be used to model variations of a network
00:30
simultaneously without the need to create separate branched networks.
00:35
For example,
00:36
scenarios can be a very useful tool if used to investigate
00:39
the impact of different object parameters like size and material on simulations
00:45
scenarios can be derived from a base network or other scenarios,
00:49
but they do not appear in the model group window as separate entities,
00:54
they are saved within the network interviewed by opening the network
00:58
and selecting the scenario to be viewed from the scenario's toolbar.
01:02
Any changes made to the base network are copied to scenarios.
01:07
If changes are made to a field of a network object in a scenario,
01:11
so that the value of the field in the scenario
01:14
differs from the value of the field in the base,
01:16
then any further changes in the base network to the
01:19
same field will not be carried over to that scenario.
01:23
If further changes are made to the same field in the scenario,
01:27
so that the value of the field in the scenario is set to the same as the base.
01:31
The link between the objects in the base and scenario is reestablished
01:35
and changes made in the base will be visible in the scenario.
01:38
Again,
01:41
network objects present in the base scenario but not in the current
01:44
scenario are displayed as a faded gray color in the scenario.
01:48
GEO plan window
01:50
display of these object ghosts can be turned on and off
01:53
from the visual page of the GEO plan properties dialogue.
01:57
The scenario's toolbar contains options that allow you to view excluded
02:01
objects in a grid and restore them to a scenario.
02:06
It is important to note that scenarios are not
02:08
structured in the same way as most info works.
02:10
WS pro objects
02:13
scenarios can be created from a base network and any subsequent
02:16
change to the base will cascade down to the scenarios.
02:21
It is also possible to create copies of scenarios,
02:25
copied scenarios are independent duplicates or direct copies of the scenario.
02:29
They originate from
02:32
scenarios that are copies of the same scenario are not linked in any way
02:36
and any changes made to the original scenario
02:38
do not cascade down to the scenario copies.
02:42
Consider an example in which you generate two scenarios from a base
02:47
scenarios. One and two are independent from each other.
02:51
However, changes made to the base will cascade down to both.
02:55
If you then make duplicates of scenario 11 A and one B, for example,
02:60
those are also independent from each other
03:02
and changing one will not affect the other
03:06
editing or deleting. Scenario one will also have no impact on one A and one B.

InfoWorks WS Pro includes Scenario Management functionality that helps you plan what-if analyses and possible future design iterations for a model. For example, scenarios allow you to investigate the impact of different object parameters on simulations. New scenarios, derived from either a base network or other scenarios, are kept separate from a copy of the base model, while still sharing data within the version-controlled commit history.
When creating and working with scenarios:
Changes made to the base network are copied to scenarios. However:
Scenarios are not structured in the same way as most InfoWorks WS Pro objects. Consider the following:
