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

The SWMM 5 data input files are not backwards compatible with previous versions of SWMM - you cannot open a file created in v13 with a v11 GUI without getting messages about Options or features present in v13 but not present in v11. Not everyone looks at the C code but the new options are listed in the file enums.h with a version notation:

SKIP_STEADY_STATE, TEMPDIR, IGNORE_RAINFALL, //(5.0.010 - LR)
FORCE_MAIN_EQN, LINK_OFFSETS, //(5.0.012 - LR)


The good feature about this message is that it tells you what MAY be different between the two SWMM versions. For example, if you used Link Offsets in v13 then you will not have a valid model in SWMM 5.0.011. However, if you are not using a new option in SWMM 5.0.013 then you will have a valid backwards compatible SWMM 5.0.011 input data set.

enum InputOptionType {
      FLOW_UNITS,        INFIL_MODEL,       ROUTE_MODEL,
      START_DATE,        START_TIME,        END_DATE,
      END_TIME,          REPORT_START_DATE, REPORT_START_TIME,
      SWEEP_START,       SWEEP_END,         START_DRY_DAYS,
      WET_STEP,          DRY_STEP,          ROUTE_STEP,
      REPORT_STEP,       ALLOW_PONDING,     INERT_DAMPING,
      SLOPE_WEIGHTING,   VARIABLE_STEP,     NORMAL_FLOW_LTD,
      LENGTHENING_STEP,  MIN_SURFAREA,      COMPATIBILITY,
      SKIP_STEADY_STATE, TEMPDIR,           IGNORE_RAINFALL,                   //(5.0.010 - LR)
      FORCE_MAIN_EQN,             LINK_OFFSETS,                                //(5.0.012 - LR)
