Reporting in SewerGEMs with SWMM engine

I am currently running the SWMM engine in SewerGEMs. From what I can gather, results using this engine are provided in a document in Notepad and not in the flex tables.

 After running the SWMM engine, much of the information included in the report (i.e., Notepad) is not needed. Is it possible to modify what is and what isn't included in the reports?

  • True - there are a few flextable result fields that aren't supported with the SWMM engine, such as the maximum conduit flow. We are looking into including them in future versions, but in the meantime you'll either need to look at the SWMM output report, use the Implicit engine (which is sometimes more stable too) or graph flow in a conduit, click the data tab and do a sort-descending on the flow column to get the maximum value.

  • Thanks!

    Right now, I am most concerned with the maximum HGL and flow rates throughout the model. When using the SWMM engine, I see "N/A" under these columns in the flextables. The Notepad report, however, provides these values. 

  • No, I do not believe there is a way to customize the data included in the SWMM text output file. However, you should in fact be able to also use the flextable and other tools in SewerGEMS such as element properties, graphs, profiles, etc, to see the results of your simulation. When looking at a flextable, make sure you use the EPS results browser (under the analysis menu) to change the timestep. It will default to time zero.

    If this doesn't help or if you have additional questions, you can submit a service ticket to Technical Support via the online ticket manager .
