Click on the + button to the left of the Demo Tutorial icon (at the bottom of the list). A number of other catchment groups are displayed. Right-click on the Demo Tutorial icon and select New | Catchment Group from the pop-up menu. The Catchment Group dialog is displayed. Type 'Your Name Catchment Study' as the catchment group name, click on the Generate Subgroups box and click on OK. If necessary, use the scroll bar to display the bottom of the InfoWorks Explorer window. The new catchment group should have been included as the last item in the Tutorial catchment. Right-click on the 'Your Name Catchment Study' icon and then on Open. The Catchment window opens on the left of the screen. Close the InfoWorks Explorer window by clicking on the button in the top right-hand corner of the window. (You may have to drag the window's title bar to the left in order to see the button.)

4. Drag the edge of the Catchment window to the right so that the names of the objects in the 'Your Name Catchment Study' group are fully visible. You have now created a catchment group to hold your data. The contents of the catchment group will be displayed in the Catchment window.

Stage 2: Importing HydroWorks Data The next task is to import some existing data to create your first network. A network contains all the information needed to describe the drainage system: the physical structures on the network (manholes, pumps etc.); the pipes and channels; and the subcatchment areas. This stage of the lesson shows you how to import a network of existing HydroWorks data and introduces the GeoPlan, a geographical representation of the network, usually displayed over the top of a map. The procedures for importing and displaying HydroWorks data are as follows: 1. Import the HydroWorks data: o Right-click on the 'Your Name Catchment Study' icon in the Catchment window and select Import / Network From DSD/SSD File. The HydroWorks DSD/SSD Import dialog is displayed.
o

Click on the .... button on the right of the Network (DSD/SSD) box to select a file. From the Example Data Directory, select Tutorial Files/Langley Demo/LangleyDemo.dsd. Click on Open.

o o

Click on OK to close the HydroWorks DSD/SSD Import dialog and start the import process. 2. Display the imported network: o When the data has finished importing, the Network dialog is displayed. Change the name of the new network to 'Your Name DSD Import'.
o

Click on OK. The network name is shown as an element in the Langley Catchment Study catchment. The network is displayed in the GeoPlan view as a collection of lines and symbols. An output window is displayed at the bottom of the screen, listing four warning messages. Close this window by selecting Window | Output Window.

3. You can now add a map behind the network to show where the network is in relation to roads, buildings etc. Right-click anywhere in the GeoPlan window and select Layer Control. The Layer Control dialog is displayed. The appearance of the dialog and the action to be taken depends on whether you are using MapInfo or ArcView. For MapInfo, Layers box is empty. MapInfo Click on Add, choose Tutorial Files/Maps/MapC.tab from the Example Data Directory and click on Open. The new layer is added to the dialog. Click on the Selectable box, so that it is no longer selected. For ArcView, the dialog shows that currently there are no layers selected. ArcView Click on Insert, choose Tutorial Files/Maps/MapC.shp from the Example Data Directory and click on Open. The new layer is added to the dialog. 8. Click on OK to close the Layer Control dialog. The GeoPlan is redrawn with a detailed Ordnance Survey map behind the network. This map allows you to see where the network elements are in relation to features such as roads and houses. You can now begin to explore the imported network and investigate the facilities that are available in the GeoPlan view. Stage 3: Using the GeoPlan InfoWorks has a number of tools for investigating your network and its data, some of which you can try out now. This lesson explores the use of the GeoPlan, with which you can inspect any part of the network. To explore the network with the GeoPlan: 1. Open the imported network in GeoPlan view by right-clicking on 'Your Name DSD Import' and then on Open. (Alternatively, drag the network icon into the main window.) The GeoPlan view is displayed. 2. The network display has been scaled so that the entire network is visible. However, this makes it difficult to see the detail. To change the display: o Make the GeoPlan window larger by dragging the edges or by maximising the window.
o

Click on the button on the toolbar and then anywhere on the GeoPlan to zoom in on part of the network. Each time you click on the network, you will increase the magnification, with the display centred on the point where you click.

Click on the button. The Find Network objects dialog is displayed. (You may have to move the Operations toolbar so that you can see the button.) Type part of the name in the Wildcard box (with * wherever part of the name is missing). Any matching objects are shown in the box on the right. Click on the one you want and then on Select and Find. For example, use the tool to locate node 45630094. Use the GeoPlan tools to inspect this part of the network. Node 45630094 is a junction, with inflows from a conduit to the south and another to the northwest. The second conduit is connected to a pump (link 446636401.1) at node 45630095. To the north-east, the conduits lead, via an orifice, to an outfall (45631203). Node 45631202 is a junction from which a conduit leads to a weir and a further outfall (45632352). Node 45630052 also receives inflow from a separate part of the network.

6. You can display a grid of all objects of one type (e.g. all nodes or all links). From the Window menu, choose Grid Views and then one of the options in the sub-menu (for example, New Nodes Window to view all nodes). The grid view is displayed: o Use the scroll bars to move around the grid.
o

o o

If you have selected the Links window or Subcatchments window, click on the tabs at the bottom of the window to see objects of different types. Click on the arrow buttons in the bottom left-hand corner of the window to see the other tabs. Drag the corners or edges of the window to change its size and shape. Drag the borders between column headings to change the widths of the columns. Click on the button to close the grid view.

7. You can select objects on the GeoPlan with the tool. When you click on an object it turns red; to select several objects, hold down the CTRL key as you click on them. 8. A selection can be saved for future use: o Mark the selection.
o o

Choose Selection / Save Selection. In the Save As dialog, click on the Selection List Group and then enter a name (e.g. 'Pump to outfall'). Click on Save. Click on a blank area of the GeoPlan to clear the selection. To select the same objects again, open the Selection List Group in the Catchment window (click on the + button to the left of the group name) and drag the selection list onto the GeoPlan.

9. The Long Section view allows you to inspect a run of pipes.

o

Click on the (Long Section Pick) tool and then on a link (e.g. the link running north-east from node 45630091). The view shows a cross-section through all the nodes and links as far as the next junction in either direction. You can extend the long section by holding down the CTRL key and then clicking on adjacent links. For example, extend the long section (using the zoom and pan tools where necessary) to reach from the pump to the outfall. Close the Long Section window when you have finished inspecting it (by

clicking on the button). 10. The 3D Manhole view gives you a 3-dimensional representation of a manhole.

o o

Click on the

tool and then on a manhole node.

You can use the 3D Manhole toolbar to rotate the view and zoom in or out. Close the 3D Manhole view by clicking on the button.

11. You can resize the display so that you can see the whole network by right-clicking anywhere on the GeoPlan and selecting Find Network from the pop-up menu. Stage 4: Editing the Network In Stage 3, you opened the network just to look at it. When you want to change an existing network, you must check it out. This operation creates a new version of the network, which can be amended. The original version of the network is kept in the master database. When you have finished editing the network, you must check it in again. You can now generate subcatchments for the network and check that the data you have imported is valid. The following steps will check the network out, make some changes and check it back in again: 1. Check out the network: o Right-click on the 'Your Name DSD Import network and select Check Out. The Network dialog is displayed and suggests that the new version of the network be called 'Your Name DSD Import#1'. o Click on OK. The network is displayed in the GeoPlan view. 2. You can now import a set of subcatchments for this network: o Click on the + button to the left of 'Your Name DSD Import, then rightclick on 'Your Name DSD Import#1' and select Update From CSV Files. The Import/Update dialog is displayed.
o

Click on OK. From the Example Data Directory, select Tutorial Files/Langley Demo/LangleySubcDemo.csv and click on Open. Click on Cancel when the import is complete and close the Results window. The subcatchments are shown as shaded areas around the nodes.

3. The network should now be checked for errors: o Select Network / Validate Network. The Network Validation dialog is displayed.
o

Click on OK. The network is validated and the Output window is displayed. There are two Information messages and two Warnings.

4. Correct the Warning errors: o The errors indicate that the soffit level for two connected conduits would be above the ground level of the shared node.

Click on the first W2054 code and the object causing the error will be highlighted in red on the GeoPlan. Use the tool (or other GeoPlan options) to zoom in on the conduit.

Select the tool and click on the conduit (44626701.1). Click on the Long Section tab; the Upstream Invert Level is shown as 6.95 m AD. Click on the Cross Section Data tab; the conduit Height is shown as 375 mm. This gives a soffit level of 7.325 m AD. Click on OK to close the Properties window. Select the upstream node (44626701). The Ground Level is shown as 7.3 m AD (which is below the soffit level). Change the level to 8.3 m AD by clicking on the Ground Level field and entering the new value. Click on OK. Repeat for the other error, setting the Ground Level to 4.3 m AD for node 45631202. Use Network / Validate Network to revalidate the network. This time only the information messages should be shown.

o o o

Close the Output window by clicking on the button in the top left of the window. 5. The changes are now complete so the network must be checked in: o Click on the + button to the left of the Langley DSD Import network icon in the Catchment window to show the 'Your Name DSD Import#1' network.
o o

Right-click on the checked-out network icon in the Catchment window and select Check In. You are given the opportunity to enter comments relating to the network. Enter a comment and click on OK. The network is checked in. To show that the network has been checked in, the network icon in the Catchment window no longer has a red border.

There are a number of other tools available in InfoWorks. One of the most powerful is the thematics facility, which is illustrated next. Stage 5: Using Thematics The InfoWorks thematics options allow you to view particular aspects of your data graphically. For example, you can display a contour map based on ground levels, represent the thickness of pipes in the network by coloured lines of different width or illustrate other parameters, such as pipe roughness. The following steps demonstrate how to use three types of thematic: 1. Open the network in GeoPlan view by right-clicking on 'Your Name DSD Import#1' and then on Open. 2. First, you can display ground level contours: o Right-click on the GeoPlan and select Themes from the pop-up menu. The GeoPlan Themes dialog is displayed. Click on the Contours tab. 7

o o

From the Choose Field drop-down list, select 'ground_level'. Enter a value of 10 in the Ranges box (under Ranges, Colours and Line Widths). The box below now shows 10 levels, each with a colour (initially all black, unless the Contours option has been used before). Click on the first colour bar and select a colour from the standard Windows Color dialog. (This will represent the lowest ground level.) Click on the last colour bar and select a different colour (for the highest ground level). Make sure that the Auto Colours check box is turned on and click on the Scale Now button to change the values shown for each colour. Click on OK. You can now see that the lowest point in the network is in the north east, with the highest point in the west. Click on the button to display a key. Drag the bar at the top of the thematic key window so that it becomes a separate window. Drag the bottom edge of the window to increase its height.

3. Save the theme for future use: o Right-click on the Theme Group and select New / Theme. The Save Themes dialog is displayed, listing the theme that is currently applied to the network.
o

Click on the box next to the theme to select it. Click on OK. The theme is added to the theme group.

Turn off the contours by right-clicking on the GeoPlan, selecting Themes, clicking on the Contours tab and selecting the '<none>' field at the top of the Choose Field list. 4. Next, illustrate pipe thickness on the network: o In the GeoPlan Themes dialog, click on the Links tab. o From the Choose Field drop-down list, select 'conduit_width'. o Check that the Theme Type is set as Ranged and that the Auto Colours check box is turned on. o Enter 5 for the Ranges. Choose a colour for the first and last bars. Select a Width for each bar. Click on Scale Now.
o o

Click on OK. Use the GeoPlan tools to zoom in on part of the network. Wider pipes are shown with thicker lines and in different colours. The brown links with rectangles in the middle represent a weir and an orifice. To check the width of an individual conduit (e.g. 45630094.1, the conduit to the south-west of the orifice), click on the button and then on the link to display the Conduit properties sheet. The width is given in the Cross Section Data tab. Click on Cancel to close the dialog.

Save the theme by right-clicking on the Theme Group, selecting New / Theme, clicking on the box next to the theme and clicking on OK.

5. Finally, change the theme to show pipe roughness: o In the Links tab of the GeoPlan Themes dialog change the Field to 'bottom_roughness'. o Set the Ranges to 5 and choose appropriate colours for the bars. Click on Scale Now to reset the colour values. o Select a Width for each bar.
o

Click on OK to display the new theme. The thicker lines and different colours now represent the Bottom Roughness values. Use the GeoPlan tools to inspect different parts of the network. Save the theme from within the GeoPlan Themes dialog. On the Links tab, click on Save As in the Save to Theme Group section; in the Save As dialog, locate and click on Theme Group in the Your Name Catchment Study group; type a name for the theme (e.g. 'Pipe roughness'); and click on Save.

Turn off the theme by selecting the '<none>' field at the top of the Choose Field list in the Link Theme tab of the GeoPlan Properties dialog. o Close the Thematic Key window. 6. Load a saved theme: o Drag the 'Link - conduit_width' theme onto the network. The theme is turned on.
o o

Turn off the theme.

You can use the three Theme tabs and the Contours tab on the GeoPlan Properties dialog to display many different parameters for nodes, links and subcatchments, and you can have all four types of theme switched on at the same time. The next stage is to load some rainfall data. Stage 6: Importing Rainfall Data In order to run a simulation of the network, you need to add some rainfall data. You can do this in three ways: by entering data from scratch, by generating typical data or by importing rainfall from an external source. In this case, you will be importing an existing rainfall data file. To import and view the sample rainfall data: 1. Import the rainfall data: o Right-click on the Rainfall Group and select Import / Event. The Windows Open dialog is displayed.
o

From the Example Data Directory, select Tutorial Files/Langley Demo/Obs4p.red. Click on Open. The rainfall event is added to the Rainfall Group. Click on the + button to the left of the Rainfall Group in the Catchment window to see the new item (which the system has named Obs4p).

o o

2. You can inspect the new rainfall event by opening it: o Either right-click on the event name in the Catchment window and select Open or, more simply, drag the event onto the main window.
o

The display shows observed rainfall intensity, recorded at two-minute intervals during a 2 hour storm, with the rainfall rate being given in millimetres per hour for each timestep. Use the scroll bar to view data from later in the event. When you have finished viewing the data, close the Rainfall Event dialog by

clicking on the button in the top right-hand corner of the window. 3. You can also view the data as a graph:

Right-click on the event and click on Open As, then select Graph from the list. Click on the close it again. button in the top right-hand corner of the graph window to

You can now import some trade wastewater data in a similar manner. Stage 7: Importing Wastewater Data A wastewater event is a 24-hour flow profile based on domestic waste from the catchment population. You can import such an event for use in a simulation. To import and view the sample wastewater data: 1. Import the wastewater data: o Right-click on the Waste Water Group and select Import / Event. The Windows Open dialog is displayed. o From the Example Data Directory, select Tutorial Files/Langley Demo /Langley.wwg.
o o

Click on Open. The wastewater event is added to the project. Click on the + button to the left of the Imported Wastewater group in the Catchment window to see the new item (which the system has named Langley).

2. You can inspect the new wastewater event by opening it: o Drag the event onto the main window. There are two tabs on the window. The Common tab shows the data on which the calculations are based, including the total per capita wastewater flow in litres per day.
o

Click on the Profile tab (at the bottom of the window). This tab shows the way in which the wastewater flow varies over the course of a day.

10

When you have finished viewing the data, close the Domestic Waste Profile Editor by clicking on the window. button in the top right-hand corner of the

You now have all the data you need to run a simulation. Stage 8: Running a Simulation You can model the behaviour of a network under particular conditions by running a simulation. The simulation tests the effects of a given flow of water through the network over a period of time, allowing you to identify weaknesses in the system, such as nodes that are liable to flood under given rainfall patterns. As for other parts of the system, you must start by creating a group. The run group will contain one or more runs, each of which contains the data needed to set up the InfoWorks simulation engine. The run must be scheduled; this involves setting up the parameters for the simulation engine. The InfoWorks Simulation Controller then performs the simulations. When the model has been run, the run object (in the run group) will contain one or more simulation objects: one for each rainfall event. The following steps allow you to run a simulation: 1. Set up the simulation: o Right-click on the Run Group and select New / Run. The Schedule Hydraulic Run dialog is displayed.
o o o o o

In the Run Title box, enter the title as 'Your Name Observed 1'. Drag the Your Name DSD Import#1 network into the Network box. Drag the Obs4p rainfall event into the Rainfall Event box. Drag the Langley wastewater event into the Waste Water box. Enter a Duration of 180 minutes in the Run Parameters.

2. Run the simulation: o Click on Run Simulations.

o

The Simulation Controller dialog is displayed. Click on the Current Simulation tab to watch the progress of the run. Click on the Scheduled Simulations tab. The Status column will show you when the simulation has been completed. Close the Simulation Controller by clicking on the hand corner of the window. button in the top right-

3. Click on the + button for the Run Group and you will see that it now contains the Your Name Observed 1 run, which in turn contains the Obs4p simulation. The simulation icon is green, indicating that the simulation was completed successfully.

The simulation has created a large number of results, which you can now inspect. Stage 9: Viewing Text Results The results of a simulation can be investigated in several ways. First, you should inspect the log of actions performed during the simulation. The log indicates whether there were any problems during the simulation. If there are no problems, you can look at the data created during the simulation in text form. The results can be viewed as follows: 1. Right-click on the Obs4p simulation (which is in the Your name Observed 1 run in the Run Group). Select Open As. You are given a list of options. 2. Choose the 'PRN' option. The results are shown as a text-based report. 3. Use the scroll bars to move around the report and inspect the data. When you have finished, close the window. The PRN report shows you the raw data. However, you can get a better idea of what the simulation looks like by replaying it in the GeoPlan view. Stage 10: Viewing Results in GeoPlan Results can be illustrated in the GeoPlan, which gives you the opportunity to replay a run and see how the network changes over the period of the simulation. Using the thematic options, you can monitor the effect of the run on a number of network parameters. The results can be viewed as follows: 1. Open the network: o Drag the Obs4p simulation (not the rainfall event of the same name) from the Run Group onto the main window. The network is displayed.
o

Increase the size of the GeoPlan window and use the and buttons to zoom in on the part of the network leading to the outfall in the north-east corner of the network.

2. You can add arrows to the links to indicate the direction and volume of flow. o Right-click on the network and select Themes.
