Infoworks - Pipe grade calculator
Pipe grade calculator between US and DS inverts, Ultimately having the ability to calculate downstream or upstream inverts over a long network based on a specified grade from either a DS or US invert level as a starting point.

Drag and drop ruby
The ability to drag and drop ruby scripts from the file system into the ICM window in order to execute them.
This will not only be useful for day to day use of using ruby scripts but will also be useful for 3rd party (and open source) applications like InfoLab
https://github.com/sancarn/InfoLab
Currently in order to inject ruby scripts into the UI we have to use open up Network tab and execute the "Run Ruby Script" button's default action. Creating a drop event onto ICM would be significantly easier and is extremely easy to implement (a few hours)

Interpolation of levels
It happens too often that while merging different models, you suddenly need a different timestep for your level-file. The only way to do this now, is remake your level completely. It would be better to (when changing the timestep of your level) ICM would ask what do : automatically interpolate the new in between time steps, put the in between time steps on zero,...

Removing missing GIS-layers
If a GIS-layer for a model is missing you cannot remove the reference to it because the layer isn't visible in the GIS layer control window. So you keep getting the error message each time you open the model. Why not make missing GIS-layers visible in the GIS layer control window ('greyed out' or with a suffix '(missing)' in the description). Then you can select it and remove it.

ICM sims updated with better control on sims outcome
I think waiting a big time for a sim to be done and then because the sim results disk gets full, loosing all of the simulated data is something that should be prevented from the time someone sends the simulation. A warning should be issued when you send the sim, looking at the remaining free disk size, Also maybe showing a estimation of how much space you will need.

Import selection lists from CSV
A simple request - can we have the ability to create csv files of selection lists that could then be imported into ICM?

River bank cumulative flow
It would be great to have the ability to graph bank flows and have a cumulative flow result available.

WBNM Hydrology Method in ICM
Australian flood modelling user have requested access to the WBNM hydrology method inside InfoWorks ICM. WBNM is one of the endorsed methods in Australian Rainfall & Runoff and large numbers of historical studies use this method.

RORB Hydrology Method in ICM
InfoWorks ICM currently has the RAFTS Hydrological Routing method, but as a flood modelling user, I would like access to the RORB method as an option inside ICM. It is a similar method to RAFTS and would help endorsement of the software where RORB hydrology is a requirement.

Enable remote simulations with state files without local agent being active
When running (very) long time series, we often split up simulations in shorter blocks and link them via final/initial states (mainly to prevent total loss of results in case something happens near the end of the simulation, and to make results more manageable). However, when we schedule such a "chain of simulations" to remote server and also have the results stored remotely, the chain is still interrupted as soon as the local agent from where they were launched is stopped (e.g. because the local pc is shutdown). As the whole chain can take days or weeks to run, this is…

In ICM add AutoCAD layers to usertext1 on import
When importing from autocad layer mapping can be used to create a model layout for things like 2D Mesh zones but all created objects are null. I have written an SQL to apply parameters to all null mesh zones and roughness zones and import each layer individually. If the autocad layer was written to usertext1 I could import all at once with a saved layer mapping and then enter all parameters by selecting usertext1

Pipe collision check
Client feedback: an automatic check for colliding pipes would be highly appreciated to avoid nightmares in the construction.

Auto populate an incremental ID for objects such as lines/polygons/subcatchments etc.
Often source data is provided with a non unique ID.
Nodes auto generate an ID, and conduits will create a node, but the remaining asset classes struggle somewhat and often you need to manipulate the GIS data.
I would like to be able to have ICM (and WS Pro for that matter) auto populate a unique ID (such as row ID).
There used to be a blog post written with a Ruby script to do this, but it appears to have been removed from the website. Alternately post the Ruby scripts again somewhere.
Thanks,

Collapsing walls identified in the log file
Can we have the status of base linear structures included in the log file? I have a large model where I have lots of these and I need to interrogate each one in turn. It would be much easier if the log file (or, better still, a grid view) showed the status of each wall.

A Mesh Layer export function to facilitate the analysis and visualization of temporal mesh element results in QGIS.
I would like to see a Mesh Layer export function that would facilitate the analysis and visualization of temporal mesh element results in QGIS.

Interconnect 2 longprofiles
When 2 sim results are placed on 1 long profile (with the Open as alternate result option) only the water heights are used to visualize sim2. Sometimes these pipes have different invert levels which makes a comparison on 1 long profile rather useless. The alternative is to open 2 long profiles (one with sim1 and one with sim2) but playing through a simulation requires doing it step by step. Could a possibility be added to link the 2 long profiles so when Play is selected from the toobar, both simulation are played as the sims were on the same long…

Speed up interfaces with 2D zones with millions of elements (make it a multicore process)
The interface for large 1D-2D models is very slow. While moving through the geoplan every time it takes about ten seconds to load and show the location. We noticed that in this time only 1 of the 32 CPU is used for 100%. We tried 2 complete different videocards (Quadro K2000 vs Quadro M6000 24GB) but that did not make any difference (both slow). The interface/geoplan works fine when we do not display the 2D zone. We tried lot of things that were suggested by your supportdesk, but it seems like that this is something that will only really improve…

Adjust mesh locally without remeshing all
Adjust mesh locally without having to remesh the entire 2D zone.
24 votesWe are looking into this, but for the majority of cases it might be that there is already a significant improvement related to this with the new “Clip meshing” which was released with version 11.0 of the software, but in a prototype state, please ensure outputs are reviewed before use. The reason it provides an improvement is that it does a coarse mesh first (which is likely to remain unchanged if only small amendments are made) and follows this with a more detailed mesh after. It would be great to get any feedback you might have on your experiences with the Clip meshing and consistency of results.

One more File name format for ASCII Grid (forecast) in Spatial TSDB
Now the file name format like YYYYMMDDHH_hhhmm of ASCII grid (forecast) can be supported in Spatial TSDB. However, if the user has a forecast origin accurate to minute, it cannot be used. A new file name format of YYYYMMDDHHMM_hhhmm should be included.

I want the Show Maxima function to apply to Pipe Shear Stress
Currently, the "Show Maxima" results button doesn't apply to pipe Shear Stress (calculated through QM, Quality Module).
It seems pipe Shear Stress is the only thing that Shear Stress is the only thing the "Show Maxima" results button doesn't apply to.
