Question

Respected All, 
 I want to add elevation data to my Hydraulic Model. I have elavation data in ArcGis Shapefile and layer. Can anyone suggest that how can i do it?

If the elevation is an attribute of the features in your GIS, just import those values using ModelBuilder. In WaterGEMS/WaterCAD, elevation is a node property while in SewerGEMS/SewerCAD/StormCAD, elevation can be a property of the manhole or two ends of the pipe depending on how your GIS is set up. 
 
If ground elevation is not a an attribute of a feature (e.g. contours, digital elevation model), then you need to convert it into some form that can be used by Terrain extraction (TRex). 
 
Start by looking at the help for ModelBuilder and Trex.

To add to what Tom already stated here is a wiki on Building a model using ModelBuilder in case you aren't familiar with the process.
