Subject: PCSWMM-Output

Hello SWMMers,

I was wondering if it was possible to export the actual values of the
outputs given by (PC)SWMM. Indeed, we can obtain a certain quantity of
graphs for every element, after each simulation. However, it is not always
possible to make graph associations (for example between various scenarios
?) - it would therefore be much more practicle to be able to export into
Excel for example all the results given by the model. Does anyone know if
this is possible?

Best regards,

Stephanie.

Hi Stephanie,

You can have a text file generated by adding line 'B9' to your input
file.

Hope this helps!

Stephanie - All the time series data is in the binary .OUT file if you
want to code your own post-processor. Another possibility is to use
scenario management in one of the commercial packages - MIKE URBAN,
InfoSWMM, and SewerGEMS have had this feature for a while; I know CHI
was planning to add it to PCSWMM as well (I'm not sure if they've
implemented it yet). Alternatively, you can use the [REPORT] section of
the input file to request specific printed output in the text .RPT file:

Section: [REPORT]
Purpose: Describes the contents of the report file that is produced.
Formats:
SUBCATCHMENTS ALL / NONE / <list of subcatchment names>
NODES ALL / NONE / <list of node names>
LINKS ALL / NONE / <list of link names>

The SWMM Reporter component of the free NetSTORM software
(www.dynsystem.com/netstorm) provides a tool to read link and node
[REPORT] timeseries from the .RPT file into Access data tables. I use
that for post-processing results, such as creating calibration plots and
statistics. The program saves the run ID, and can load multiple files
and append to existing datasets facilitating comparisons among various
runs. I've made more recent improvements to the SWMM Reporter code as
well; I'll try to post a new version soon.

Subject: Street sweeping

Hi,

I am really sorry to spam you all with my questions, but I am to hand in my
project by the end of this week, and it seems that problems are still
popping up! This time it is with reference to the street cleaning: I do not
understand how this is calculated.
In PCSWMM, we define a land use, with a general "Street Sweeping
Availability" : what is the difference between this and the coefficient of
removal for each pollutant ?
Additionnally, I have defined for each pollutant a fraction of pollution
removal relative to the size of the pollutant, basically (I gave a 70%
removal for the TSS, and a 5% removal for the metals). However, when I look
at the results, I see that the frction of removal by street sweeping is not
at all similar: for my metals, more than 80% of the metals from surface
builfup and wet deposition has been taken off through sweeping, when I had
defined a 5% removal. What is wrong here? Is there an additional coefficient
to determine ?

Thank you all for your help and kind answers, it has been helping me all
along!

Stephanie.

Stephanie,

The street sweeping removal and the BMP efficiency are two different
removal mechanisms. The street sweeping only occurs at intervals defined
by you in the interface and the BMP removal occurs at each hydrology or
runoff time step.

double sweepEffic; // street sweeping fractional removal
double bmpEffic; // best mgt. practice fractional
removal

From: Derek Stuart <DSt...@NHC-SEA.COM>
Subject: SWMM5 (or PCSWMM.NET) timeseries or interface files

I have a question about SWMM5 and the ability to read timeseries files as
inflows to a conveyance system. We have some legacy models that we used
with SWMM4 that we would like to convert for use in PCSWMM.NET / SWMM5.
The SWMM4 configurations used HSPF rather than SWMM RUNOFF for inflow
boundary conditions to SWMM EXTRAN. The obvious implementation of this in
PCSWMM.NET is to build and import a .DAT or .TSF file into the TimeSeries
editor and assign each timeseries to the corresponding node. The hurdle I
have is that these models typically have one to two hundred different
inflow time-series for each scenario, depending on the number of
sub-basins. If each of these is imported into a SWMM5 input file the file
will be quite large and difficult to update. In SWMM4 (w/ PCSWMM2006) we
avoided this long file (that would have occurred with K3 cards) by instead
creating a RUNOFF interface file .inf and linking it to EXTRAN using the
PCSWMM2006 object manager.

My question is this. Do you know of a way to link a interface file or
TSF, DAT timeseries files to SWMM5 as input flow timeseries? I have
browsed the help file in "swmm5_iface.zip" that is available on the EPA
web-page but at first glance a method for reading flows from interface
files isn't particularly obvious.

I've just posted a similar message to CHI but I thought that the message
board might have additional insight.

Subject: Re: SWMM5 (or PCSWMM.NET) timeseries or interface files

Derek,

One way to do this is to use the SWMM 4 converter and embed your SWMM 4 K3
lines into the SWMM 5 dataset and then use the OUTFLOWS file to save the
User Inflow Time Series. I am attaching an example input file that shows
how to use the a skeleton network and save the OUTFLOWS file. The Skeleton
network is just a bunch of nodes that take the User Inflow Time Series and
make a OUTFLOWS file flows. After you have the OUTFLOWS file you can then
use the OUTFLOWS file as an INFLOWS file in your main file as a substitute
for the User Inflow Time Series. The inflows to your model will come in
from the INFLOWS fie and they will be a duplicate of the K3 lines .

This works but you need to do some text editing to make the skeleton network
and all of the necessary outfalls.
