00:04

Once you have set up multiple scenarios with various settings and conditions,

00:08

you can perform a batch simulation of all

00:10

scenarios to later compare the outputs between them.

00:14

The outputs can be displayed as graphs or tables

00:18

or you can use the scenario comparison tool

00:21

to begin.

00:22

Double click the desired project dot APR X file to open

Agis Pro.

00:28

Once the project starts,

00:30

click the info water pro tab to open the info water pro ribbon

00:35

in the project panel, click initialize

00:39

in the model explorer,

00:40

select base base data scenario from the scenario dropdown list.

00:47

Switch to the command center tab,

00:49

expand the tools folder

00:51

and then double click batch simulation

00:55

in the batch simulation manager. Ensure that the active scenario is set to base.

01:00

The simulation type is set to standard hydraulic slash quality simulation.

01:05

And the error handling option is set to continue regardless of errors,

01:11

expand the executive order dropdown and set it to bottom up.

01:15

Then in the scenario selection box rearrange the scenarios by selecting each

scenarios except for base base data scenario to select them.

01:50

The selected scenarios are highlighted in blue,

01:53

then click run.

01:55

Since the execution order is bottom up,

01:58

the existing scenario will be the active scenario when the process is finished.

02:03

Be sure to watch the message board to see if any scenario runs fail.

02:08

Once the scenarios have completed running,

02:10

click close to exit the batch simulation manager.

Step-by-step:

Once you have set up multiple scenarios with various settings and conditions, you can perform a batch simulation of all scenarios to later compare the outputs between them. The outputs can be displayed as graphs or tables, or you can use the Scenario Comparison tool.

  1. Open the appropriate .aprx file in ArcGIS Pro.
  2. From the ribbon, InfoWater Pro tab, Project panel, click Initialize.
  3. In the Model Explorer, expand the Scenario drop-down and select BASE, Base Data Scenario.
    The Model Explorer, Scenario drop-down, with the BASE scenario selected
  1. Click the Command Center tab.
  2. Expand the Tools folder.
  3. Double-click Batch Simulation.
    The Model Explorer, Command Center tab, with the Tool folder expended and Batch Simulation highlighted
  1. In the Batch Simulation Manager:
    1. Ensure that the Active Scenario is set to BASE.
    2. Set the Simulation Type to Standard Hydraulic/Quality Simulation.
    3. Set the Error Handling Option to Continues Regardless of Errors.
    4. Expand the Execution Order drop-down and set it to Bottom Up.
  2. In the Scenario Selection pane, rearrange the scenarios by selecting each and then clicking Move Up or Move Down, as needed, to arrange them in this order:

BASE, Base Data Scenario

EXISTING

EX_MAXDAY

EX_ALTPUMPING

2030

2030_MAXDAY

2030_ALTPUMPING

The Batch Simulation Manager, with the list of scenarios set in the required order for this tutorial

  1. Press CTRL and click all the scenarios except for BASE, Base Data Scenario to select and highlight them.
  2. Click Run.

TIP: Watch the Message Board to see if any scenario runs fail.

  1. Once the scenarios have completed running, click Close to exit the Batch Simulation Manager.

Since the execution order was bottom up, the EXISTING scenario will be the active scenario when the process is finished.
