What makes SewerGEMS superior to InfoWorks ICM?
Hello Rajendra,
There are a few major differences in terms of tools and features available in SewerGEMS such as;

Hope this helps.

Hello Yashodhan,
Adding to what you said and for the transparency as a user/fan of the SewerGEMS my observation is;
The InfoWorks ICM has the 2D modeling capabilities built-in, that module is included and does not need another program to run the 2D, we all hope Bentley to include that in the SewerGEMS.
Also, the InfoWorks ICM has a very powerful engine to run the simulation, one model built with gullies to run the scenario in SewerGEMS could reach 1 hour, the same one took 3 minutes to finish the simulation.
Regarding the solver; the InoWorks built with the SWMM engine same SewerGEMS, also has the capabilities to import directly from other programs, such as XPSWMM, InfoSWMM, InfoDrainage, MicroDrainage, HEC-RAS, ...etc.

Thank you for the useful information. Do you have any experience using SewerGEMS or InfoWorks ICM to model a wastewater treatment plant? How they perform in treatment plant modeling?
Our developers are working on 1D-2D integrated modeling in SewerGEMS--stay tuned!
Hello kristen,
That is really good news, all Bentley users are waiting for that for a long time.
From our experience of other software, the GPU processing should be integrated when using the 1D-2D which will speed up the Run simulation, hope that be noticed by your developers.
what about the 1D running issue? I already raised it previously (reference # 815156), that discussed widely with Jesse.
When we do expect the release of the new feature?
