Dear Bentley Colleagues,
I have a SewerGEMS model with a few scenarios and alternatives. It is too slow while computing and opening. Can anybody please check, if it is possible to increase its performance and reduce run time?
Thank You,
Farhan
Farhan, here are a few things to supplement the article.
If the model is slow to open, it could be due to:
If the model takes a long time to compute, it could be due to:

Hi Jesse/Joshi,
Thank you very much for your usual support. I have just sent the model again by following above instructions. I have uploaded it on the same day but no response received yet. Is there any urgent mode of communications options or online call/chat support Bentley is offering except this platform?
Thanks again
Hello Farhan,
When you securely upload the model data as per the instructions, a general practice is that you should confirm having uploaded the file(s) and provided us with the file(s) names in a reply to this post. It makes it easier for us to locate the model and get back to you.
Is this the model you shared: "00_Planning Model 120820 SRTM 30m Elevations"?
I will check it.

Hi Joshi,
Thank you very much for your response. Sorry I missed to inform you both the times. Yes, this is the model for your review regarding performance and recovery. Any other suggestions to improve it from your side will also be highly appreciated,
Thank you
Hi Jesse/Joshi/Larry/Scott,
I have again uploaded the SewerGEM model for a performance check. The model file size is continuously increasing and performance is drastically decreasing. I have tried the SQL Personal and able to see HMI (more than 11,000) but not succeeded in deleting the unnecessary files and improving the performance of the model yet. Can you please look at this and delete unnecessary files to reduce the size and improve performance. Your guidance to avoid future errors would also be very helpful.
The zip file name is "To Bentley for Performance Check_150820"
The main issue is the Model's performance however if possible please look at this error also as I am still getting this, the thread link is below for your reference, to avoid doubling please ignore the below thread regarding model uploading.

Thank you very much
I managed to delete the large number of entries in the Change Tracking Table (around 28 million records) which could be the reason for the slow model performance.
I tried opening and running the model on my side and didn't see any issues in opening the model and run time.
I have unchecked the "Track Changes" for now to stop tracking of changes. If possible upgrade to the latest version of SewerGEMS i.e. 10.03.01.08 where there is an option to archive tracked changes if the database grows too large due to multiple entries as happened in your case. Change tracking is useful of multiple people are working on a single model over a long period of time to understand what changes were made during the modeling time periods. See the below article which can guide you on this in future;
SQLITE database size grows very large due to Change Tracking
You can download the cleaned up model from the below link;

The model database size is considerably reduced (order of 30 MB from earlier 3.8 GB)
As for the wet-well initial elevation issue I am seeing 532.5 m as the Elevation (Initial) at the "Exi Wet Well".
Hope this helps.
