Hello,
Using the 2D solver in SewerGEMS Connect Edition Update 4, how to find the total flood volume in the system? and whether the total flood volume equals to the total flood volume generated to the same system but 1D model using implicit solver.

This will depend on the system and your terrain model, but it would be possible channel overflow on a grid to be captured by the 1D elements, like a catch basin. You can see something like this, 2D lesson file included with the SewerGEMS...

Good morning,
I'm modelling a pumped sewer with a double acting air valve at the highest point and a final free discharge (D2A element) in HAMMER. When running a pump start scenario, the last stretch of the pipe is obviously empty (the water previously...
Read more.Thanks for your quick reply Jesse.
The flow downstream of the air valve is not part-full, as the pump has (or at least it should have) enough power to keep the whole system pressurised. Therefore, in a pump startup scenario, I should model the last stretch...
Read more.If the downstream pipe flows full when the pump is on, but is empty/partially empty when the pump is off, I would suggest considering the "pump shutdown followed by startup" previously mentioned.
This will enable you to properly model the initial...

When I inactivate an inlet pipe in my system and run the model, I get the error message "tank references a deleted or inactivated inlet pipe". I want to ensure that my tank can supply the distribution system using only the elevation head (no help...
Hi Derek,
You can temporarily change the property Has Separate Inlet? on the tank to false, then it won't try to validate the referenced Inlet Pipe.
Hope this helps and that I have not misunderstood the issue.
Regards,
Wayne.
In addition to Wayne's response - if you want to have a separate scenario where the inlet pipe does not exist, but keep a scenario where it does, you can use a new child physical alternative in a child scenario, then change the "Has separate Inlet?" tank...
