Transcript
00:03
Separate river and urban drainage networks are connected to create an integrated model.
00:10
Flow can transfer between the urban drainage network and the river channel via created connection points,
00:17
and you can now run a simulation on the fully integrated model.
00:22
To complete this exercise, open the transportable database .icmt file for this tutorial.
00:29
In the transportable database window, right-click the top-level folder and select Copy.
00:37
In the popup, click Continue. In the Model Group window, right-click the Database and select Paste.
00:43
When running an integrated model, consideration should be given to the event files being used, as the hydrology is more complex.
00:53
From the Database, right-click the Design Peaks Matched rainfall event and select Open as.
01:01
In the Select Format window, select Graph, and then click OK.
01:07
This rainfall event is shifted, so that the peak rainfall occurs at the same time as the inflow file.
01:14
Close the graph window.
01:16
Now, set up the simulation.
01:19
From the Database, right-click the Model group and select New InfoWorks > Run.
01:26
In the Run window, add a Run title of “1D Integrated”.
01:31
From the Database, drag the 1D Integrated Model into the Run window and drop it into the InfoWorks section.
01:40
Set the following time-related parameters:
01:44
Timestep(s): Set to a more appropriate value of 5
01:49
Results timestep multiplier: 60
01:53
Duration: Set the dropdown to Hours and the amount to 30
01:60
Drag the Design Peaks Matched event and drop it into the Rainfall Event section.
02:06
Drag the remaining profile files from the Ancillary folder and drop them into the appropriate sections:
02:13
Wastewater Profile,
02:17
and Trade Profile.
02:19
Click Run simulations.
02:22
In the Schedule Job(s) popup, click OK.
02:26
From the Window menu, select Job control window to display the status of scheduled simulation jobs.
02:34
The simulation should complete with no errors or warnings.
02:40
From the Database, expand the 1D Integrated run, and then double-click the simulation icon to open the results on the GeoPlan.
02:51
Use the Find in GeoPlan tool to locate river reach links 16DS.1 and 17DS.1.
03:01
Activate the Select tool, then press and hold CTRL as you select both links.
03:09
From the Results toolbar, click Graph Selected Objects.
03:14
In the Graph Selection popup, select the Flow attribute, and then click OK.
03:20
The graph displays the sewer inflows into the river where connections are made to create the integrated model.
03:28
Now use the Find in GeoPlan tool to locate conduit TF91299303.
03:40
From the Results toolbar, click Graph, and then select the conduit.
03:47
The graph shows that flow is coming up the pipe from the river and inundating the sewer network.
03:56
You can also investigate your simulation results using themes.
04:01
Drag the 1D Results theme onto the simulation results.
04:06
Use the Replay Control toolbar to replay the simulation, or show the maxima results to see the areas of flooding in the model.
