Dear Lionel,
This matter is explained in Appendix D of SWMM manual under the title of “Command line SWMM”. So in MATLAB you can use below format under DOS window:
"The address of place that SWMM is there" input…

Thanks Robert for your prompt help!
Lionel replied to Fateme Fallah's discussion 'Uncertainty Analysis'
Hi Fateme Fallah,
I am doing something similar but in my case I am varying the infiltration factor. I am not very good with Matlab so require a bit of help on the coding. I would like to check if you have been successful in your attempt to…

Linking Matlab with SWMM5
Hi, I am currently trying to use Matlab to create a set of random values and inputting these random values into SWMM 5 to vary the different parameters (e.g. decay constant) so I will get a range of results. Has anyone done it before? Thanks!See More

Welcome Oliver!
Node Convergence in SWMM 5
The solution is iterative but each iteration is dependent on the CFL or explicit time step. The time step we select is based on the CFL condition but instead of just using the explicit solution we iterate until the node depths are converged or a maximum of 4 iterations is reached.
The solution of node depths and link flows in SWMM 5 is an iterative process but the number of iterations for the flows and links depends on how fast the node depth converges. The node continuity equation is ALWAYS solved at each iteration for each node but depending on whether both the link upstream and downstream node depths have converged the number of iterations for a link may be between 2 and 4. The minimum number of iterations for a link is 2.
where, H = the depth in the node and
n = the current iteration.
The internal units of SWMM 5 are American Standard Units so the units of 0.005 are feet.
