Thanks in advance poonam .
I use SewerGems connect edition 10.02.01
The engine to use (Implicit or Explicit) is set in the Active Numerical Solver field, in the Calculation Options. On the Analysis ribbon, click Options, to display the Calculation Options dialog. Select the Options that your Scenario uses (if you have more than one then the Options for the active Scenario show a red check mark) then right-click > Properties.
Thanks Jonathan
But i mean that How can i know the suitable Solver or Engine for my model ? when i try both it will be different results according to the hydrograph shape and the water level in the pipe.
You can refer to this article which explains the difference between the solvers and when to use them.
