Introduction

Importing and running a model

Import Coquitlam Vancouver network

1. Choose import from the file menu

1.browse to the folder containing the Coquitlam-Vancouver-Canada dataset, select the network.tp file to import the model

2. add map to the project, show network on the map (contained in model input)

Define discretization

3. rightclick on the map and select "Generate Computation Points" leave all defaults and click ok

The following image displays a detail of the discretization that was generated:

Open the first input boundary condition

The view shows a generated boundary condition in the shape of a sine. Leave the boundary condition as it is.

4. Inspect and modify model properties
First activate the propertygrid and after click on model to show model properties in the propertygrid. The property grid can be used to change the calculation timesteps, start time and end time. Change the output timestep to 10 minutes so output will be generated at each calculationstep.

5. run model
After the model run has finished successfully the property grid should show Status:finished.

Model results can be visualized by using the map and on tables. We will start with visualizing the waterdepth on the map. Drag the model output depth to the map. Disable the inputgrid in the maplegendview by unchecking it.

Change the legend settings for waterlevel using the values as displayed in the following screendump

Position the timeseriesnavigator at the bottom of the screen and use it to visualize results at different timesteps

Create model from scratch

1. Add network

2. Add map
3. Drag network to map
2. Add branch
Select add new branch from the network editor toolbar

draw branch on the map
add cross section to the branch (failure)

Define cross section

Open cross section view
Edit cross section, set friction for cross section
Generate calculation grid
