Brad,

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.

Best and Kind Regards,

[SWMM-USERS] SWMM ver. 5.0.013

I was running a previous model from ver. 11 in ver. 13 and got
differing flow values at a number of nodes. When trying to re-open in ver.
11, I got the following error message:

Error Report for File Z:\ENGINEERING
PROJECTS..................DP_South-West-SR80.inp
Unrecognized keyword (LINK_OFFSETS) at line 29:
[OPTION]
LINK_OFFSETS DEPTH

Are there any computational issues or otherwise with ver. 13?

Thanks
