Hi Rui,   It seems to be a good application, but due to the large data I have got, inp.PINS stopped working (seemingly)   Any solution to this?   http://www.mapwindow.org/apps/wiki/doku.php?id=inp.pins instead…

Thanks Kashif. inp.PINS don't have any maximum limit, might work with 10,000 nodes. Please let me know how it works and fell free to send me any suggestions.

Aquifer in SWMM 5

I am trying to use SWMM 5 to calculate the ground water flow in my model. In the aquifer portion, it's required to input conductivity slope and tension slope. Robert, would you please advice me on how I can get these two data? thanks a lot!!See More

Yeah, but what I am worrying is why the depth of the Tank 6 is not 8.51 m instead 8.26 m.

Controlling flows to storage tanks

Hi,I am looking for a way of controlling flows to storage tanks.(Assuming Tank 6 as an online detention tank)I want to stop the flow from Tank 7 to Tank 6 (vis R13 orifice) once the water depth at Tank 6 reaches to 8.26 m.Not sure that I have done it correctly using the control rules. (Since it shows me a depth of 8.51 m at…See More

Robert Dickinson replied to Zhao Chen's discussion 'surcharge flow in SWMM 5'
Remember, there is ONE computational point in a link  in SWMM 5 and one computational point at a node in SWMM 5 - the flow is from the middle of the linkl Subject:  Link Simulated Parameters used in either the Normal Flow or St Venant…

That is C code and not Fortran but here is the code in words: The program will sum the value of dQ/dH for all of the links connected to the node.  The value of dQ/dH is the derivative of the  St Venant equation for the link. Now, if you…

Thank you, Robert. I'm always amazed of fast replies from you. Do you kwon some report that compares approach of surcharge flow in SWMM and preissmann slot? Which method is more accurate, do you think?
