I exported in SWMM but some elements changed their typologies. My catch basins became manholes, as did the sections of the macrodrainage channel. Furthermore, the canals became conduits. I would like to return to their old typology. Is there...
Read more.Luis, there is no catchbasin element in the SWMM file format (not until the 5.2 format that we will support later) which is why the catchbasins are exported as Junction nodes in the SWMM INP file.
Similarly there is no channel element in SWMM so they...

Walls (Shells) do not work with area loads. Your best bet will be to add a beam along the top of the wall. The load can then be applied to the beam which in turn will transfer load to the wall at the nodes of the mesh. As long as the beam is not overly...
