Why are my output reports always in Imperial units while running the SWMM engine in SewerGEMS, regardless of the units (SI or US customary).Product: SewerGEMS V8i, Bentley CivilStormVersion: 08.11.03.84Area: Output/Results Presentation, Problem ID#: 66758, PROBLEMSOLVING
This behavior is currently expected. When we compute using the SWMM solver, we always compute in US Customary Units, which causes the text report to be presented in US Customary Units. Currently our result reading architecture is predicated on the fact the results file is always in the same units. If we were to compute with the SWMM engine in metric units it would throw off all the other results for the property grid and graphing.Future versions of SewerGEMS and CivilStorm may add the ability to show input units in the output reports.
