In InfoWorks ICM, the flood theme provides a comprehensive picture of all water levels across 1D and 2D object results.
Within the flood theme, flood extents are implemented as follows.
Depth contours obtained by subtracting ground model ground level from water surface.
To produce flood contours, open set of results with ground model loaded into GeoPlan.
Where rainfall is applied directly to mesh, adjusting Minimum calculated depth where theme applies removes noise created by shallow sheet flow.
Noticeable differences when comparing examples of 2D elements theme and flood theme:
Common to use 2D elements themes when inspecting results, but flood theme can provide comprehensive picture and build detail back into results simplified for simulation.
Depending on resources, can also present 3D view of results with flood theme active.
Can make it easier to conceptualize certain elements.
Useful when presenting results to stakeholders or public.
