This technology preview by Andrew Walker introduces a comprehensive drainage system modeling tool with advanced features like 1D and 2D integration, new user interface, multi-user version control, and improved GIS support. The software allows for modeling both natural and engineered drainage systems, complete with manholes, pipes, inlets, channels, catchment, and floodplain. It offers scenario management for rapid model building and network analysis, simulation server for efficient running of simulations, and GPU acceleration for complex calculations. Case studies and example models showcase the software's capabilities in assessing property flooding causes and hazard ratings. Available for Windows 7, Vista, and XP, it supports all 64-bit operating systems and provides a user-friendly experience with enhanced visualization and analysis tools.

Tree View • New grouping structure • New editing methodology • Recycle bin • Tabbed Windows • Group docking windows together • Easy switching between views
New Data Views • New Model Edit Strip • New Transparencies • New 3D rendering in LS • River reaches • Bridges • Radial sluices • New flood mapping
Scenario Management for rapid model build and network analysis • Allows different “what if” scenarios to be quickly applied to a base Network • Enables efficient examination of alternative modelling scenarios • User selects which scenarios to analyse, the software automatically runs all the different scenarios
Scenario Management for rapid model build and network analysis
Simulation Server • Simulations can be run on • Stand-alone workstations • Within a Workgroup sharing computer resources • Within an Enterprise System with dedicated servers and central store • Supports the concurrent running of multiple simulations, even with a single licence • Users are able to monitor and control the progress of selected simulations • Possible to re-schedule the queue and priority of simulation jobs
GPGPU GPGPU New Simulation Server
GPU acceleration is significant! • Example : 2D Model, Auckland NZ • 1,500Ha area with rainfall on 100% of the mesh. • Just under 1 million 2D elements.
Calculate a hazard rating, based on flood flow velocity, depth and debris potential
Case Study - Calculate cause of property flooding – stormwater or river flooding?
