Water Distribution

As a planner, I want a single, integrated modelling platform to represent the water supply, sewerage and drainage (1D/2D) system.
Melbourne Water has successfully completed a pilot modelling study using InfoWorks ICM to build a single integrated model to represent the water supply, sewerage and drainage system (including overland flooding) for a proposed redevelopment area (27,000 lots) in Melbourne.
The study explored the capabilities of the software to model the urban water cycle. It has identified some significant advantages to an integrated modelling approach, however there are some key limitations of the software and hardware which limit its future use.
We have published a joint paper that discussed the need and the concept and that can be make available upon…

As a user of InfoWorks WS PRO, I would like to better simulate FMV valves
In InfoWorks WS PRO is possible to simulate FMV valves, but I would like to introduce a "deviation" option to better simulate it.
I give an example: imagine a valve whose pressure setting is 2 Bar if flow is from 0 to 10 L/s, and 2.5 Bar if flow is from 10 to 20 L/s. I would like to introduce the possibility to add a "flow deviation" parameter to avoid unexpected opening/closing when flow is close to 10 L/s. For example, we could set deviation at 0.5 L/s, so that pressure will remain 2 bar up to 10.5 L/s when…1 vote -
allow multiple selection lists in a shutdown simulation
I am currently working on a long-term planning of our pipeline renovation projects. I need to determine which projects can be executed simultaneously. My approach at this time is to create a selection list of all the pipes that would be taken out of order for the different projects I would like to combine. Each new combination of projects requires me to create a new selection list and reselect all the pipes affected by these projects.
It would be easier for me if I could create separate selection lists for the affected pipes for each individual project, and then select…

As a user, I would like to automate importing network from any external software (Synergi, Epanet, Aquis etc,) in model group
To complete the initial model set up with Exchange tool, it will be great if importing external software is also automated, as this will enable us do the complete set up in one go without opening the model.

Smarter UDF Flush Sequence Manager Operations tab selection tools
When using the UDF Flush Sequence Manager Operations tab [Close >], [Open >], or [Remove >] selection tools, I would like to receive the error "WARNING: Node ### is not in the Selection Set 'VALVES'" less often.
Currently you must zoom in and only select the node you wish to change the state of; any other nodes included in the selection that are not in the relevant selection set will cause this error to pop up.
When using [Close >], the tool should only recognize valves whose current state is set to Open, and should close all selected valves, ignoring…

InfoWater SA to be capable of managing transparency in the background layers
Not having the capability in InfoWater SA to manage background information as used to be possible with H2OMap affect directly the efficiency of the product itself.

Option of splitting pipes/Polygons in InfoWorks WS Pro
Like the option available to split the polygons, if there is an option available that would be good.
If we are able to automatically split the pipe into many segments automatically using an automated option like the feature available in ICM to generate river cross sections, that would be helpful especially where we have long sections of pipes where it would be difficult to replicate ground level variations.

Live data
Like in ICM, if we can directly import data received from field tests or downloaded data using CSV or some other formats that will save lot of time in processing/creating into text formats.

A simple way to straighten short links to display symbols more clearly
When using the "Expand Short Links" option I find that the expanded links will inherit some geometric points from the adjacent links, and hence symbols for valves, meters etc may not display too well if adjacent to a pipe bend. It would be useful to have a function to delete all bends from a selected group of links, so as to straighten the links out to enable symbols to be displayed more clearly.

A simple way to get an upstream or downstream trace analysis for all objects (node or pipe)
In WS Pro
Upstream/downstream tracing is easy for a single object.
Obtaining a single useful value (i.e. property count) is easy for multiple objects.Combining the two is very difficult at the moment in WS Pro
I want to be able to obtain, either for all objects or a selection, the value of data x upstream or downstream.
For example: length of mains upstream, no of properties downstream
This would be a really powerful risk assessment tool but also useful for quick operational analysis.

clearer ArcGIS version info
Would be good to see clearer version info on innovyze.force.com...
The old site innovyze.com/updates was better viz "for ArcGIS 10.3-10.7"5 votesWe should be adding this to the Download center this month.

Trace an isolation to a 2-valve shut down
Denver Water has a massive outage program that runs a minimum of 6 months per year. All outages are modeled. For nearly all outages, 2 valves are shut down for safety. Having the isolation trace in IWLive contain an option to trace to the 2nd valve would be really useful and make this process significantly easier!

Improvements to custom DB table fields
- Ability to modify the length of custom fields in the DB tables after they have been created. This is particularly a problem when you create a text field, but realize later it is too short. Another option would be to make the default text length 250 characters rather than 20.
- Better manager for custom fields. The user should be able to create a field once and choose which information DB tables to add it to. See example at link. https://ibb.co/CbFKnn2

Specify number of demands
I almost never need to use all 10 demand fields in InfoWater. The ability to specify the number of demand fields needed would save space in the demand DB table and in the Model Explorer window and make viewing these windows easier.

Automate concurrent Fireflow simulations
When you integrate InfoWater into the InfoWorks platform, it would be great if you could ensure that FireFlow simulations can be scheduled and automatically run sequentially for different network scenarios. As far as I am aware this is not possible using the exsiting InfoWater platform.

I want to learn more about the Sustainability Module for Energy Efficiency modelling
We are investigating the energy efficiency and potential energy savings of our potable water network and have been employing InfoWater Sustainability Module to assist us with this. We want to understand and maximise the use of the Sustainability Module by having a test model and tutorial manual to explain further the inputs and outputs and to replicate the expected results from the test model. We are using our own model but cannot determine the validity of our outputs and ultimately want to rank our least efficient networks. Thank you

Enhance the performance of domains in InfoWater Pro
There is no reason an ArcGIS selection should work 5-50x faster than using domain tools in InfoWater. ArcGIS made great enhancements to ArcGIS Pro and utilizing a 64-bit environment. InfoWater could be much improved from a performance perspective

Save complete configurations of ODIC / ODEC to run in batches
The Open Data Import/Export Centres have lots of functionality, but importing say 10 different files can be somewhat tedious and repetitive. Ths config files save the field mapping. Thinking of the way In InfoWater I can have all settings for multiple exchange configs and run them all at once.
