hello every one.
I am using SWAT in ArcGIS 10.3 version. I want to apply BMPs in my study area. Here In SWAT there is a Integrated Apex model. I want to have the idea about creation of TxtInOut folder. which files are to to set there. If video is available kindly share or any apex folder is there then kindly share. 
thanking you.

Shruti,

Integrating APEX into a SWAT model is an attractive way of improving field level calculation for agricultural fields using APEX. While sounding attractive, it does need some work. You first select a subbasin(s) for which APEX will provide modeling output, then build APEX model(s) for all those subbasins, one APEX model per subbasin. In the APEX model, you enable *.SWT output file at daily, monthly, or yearly interval. Then, in the SWAT interface, you select those APEX subbasins and load APEX *.SWT files so each SWT match the corresponding subbasin. Then SWAT modifies its setting such that HRU/subbasin loads are not calculated for those APEX subbasins, but the SWT files are loaded at the outlet of these APEX subbasins and the APEX outputs are read in. You can think of this process similar to how point sources are loaded in SWAT. Does this make sense? Thus, you need to be proficient with both SWAT and APEX to fully appreciate this integration option. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if I understood your question. The current ArcAPEX is built for ArcGIS 10.3.1, so if you want to use ArcAPEX, you need this version of ArcGIS. You can also use WinAPEX, which is a Windows application that has no dependency to ArcGIS.

In the APEX model,we have to enable *.SWT output file at daily, monthly, or yearly interval. 
sir kindly say where shou I enable this. I can't find it.

Then, in the SWAT interface, we I have to select those APEX subbasins and load APEX *.SWT files so each SWT match the corresponding subbasin. 


Can you please send any attachment of this APEX *.SWT format TextInout file???

SWT prints daily output. See attached an example output file. Please review page 147 on the APEX user manual for printing options.
