Post processing scripts as part of a live simulation
We need to be able to automatically run scripts at the completion of our forecasts. it would be extremely helpful if we could have these scripts as part of the manifest workflow so that they started as soon as the results export task completed.

Alert on river sections without having to make 1D results points
We'd like to create alerts on river sections without having to create either results points or having the reach split at the cross section in question

Support for more than two simulations in long sections
When evaluating the effects of raising and lowering roughness it would be helpful to display three or more simulations in the same long section; at the moment it is only possible to display 2.

Use TSDB data streams in flexible graphs
Currently, I can graph individual TSDB streams, or once a simulation has run compare a TSDB stream with modelled data at a particular node. But it would be helpful if I could compare TSDB streams with other TSDB streams, or with multiple model locations, or with many other possibilities that I cant immediately think of.
The flexible custom graph already allows me to do that with modelled data and with data from events (rainfall, observed levels, etc): adding the ability to use TSDB streams would make this already useful function even more powerful.8 votes -
Export results to CSV/Database with a more flexible selection list in ICMLive
In ICMLive, we can now export results to CSV/Database with a pre-defined selection list. In ICM, we can have a more flexible way.
For example if I hope to export results point (2D), initially I may have 1 million points. What we can do in ICM is, run a SQL to query points with sim.max_depth2d > 0.05, then save them to a selection list. We may only have 0.1 million points to export.
Can we have a similar function in ICMLive, which combines SQL and selection list?3 votes -
Get time-series values from an existing (rainfall/inflow/level) event in ICM Exchange
In ICM, we can open a rainfall event as graph. However, since we cannot query the time-series data from existing events in ICM Exchange, it's also impossible for us to do any visualization for these events.

Select Assets with a given User Flag in any Properties Field
Allow assets to be selected/sorted (SQL or Grid View) based on a flag value in any properties field. This would make some model build and QA tasks much easier.
For example, data may be needed to properly model a serwerage pumping station but isn't available yet. An engineering judgement may be made with a user flag showing the data has been requested but that an engineering judgement has been made in the interim to allow model build to proceed. The ability to select/sort assets with this user flag in any property field would make user flags much more useful both…

Sort by Validation Error in Grid View
Allow columns in grid views to be sorted by validation error(s). This would make fixing validation errors much easier.
For example, when modelled pipes/nodes are updated from the GIS, the Subcatchments sometimes lose their Node ID link as the node names may have changed. Being able to sort these validation issues to the top of the grid would make fixing the errors much easier. This would be particularly useful across multiple scenarios since the selection list created from the validation can't be saved with the "un-shown" objects from a different scenario.

Implicit SQL link between River reaches and associated storage area
It should be possible to write a validation query to check if the lowest vertex of a River reach bank line does not lie below the ground level of the storage area it overflows to. With an implicit link between the river reach and the left and right storage areas it overflows to, the query would be easy:
Object type: river reach
SELECT WHERE min(leftbank.Z) < leftnode.groundlevel;
SELECT WHERE min(rightbank.Z) < rightnode.groundlevel;1 vote -
Enable TIN Reference in Scenarios (Enable/Disable)
All other layers in XPSTORM/XPSWMM are able to be deactivated for different scenarios.
If you could allow for the Topography tins to be activated and deactivated (like Fill Areas, Elevation Shapes etc), this will allow for multiple scenarios (i.e. pre- and post-development) and minimise the complexities of trying to model two identical scenarios on two seperate models.

Total sediment ( SF1+SF2).
In the result “graph” and “table” window add a new field for “total sediment” which presents the mass flow and the concentration of “sf1”+”sf2”

Buildup and washoff on permeable surfaces.
Pollution buildup and washoff can also happen on pervious area in Innovyze .buildup/washoff model.

Agricultural pollution.
Including agricultural pollution in the model. Such as fertilization and pesticide application. These pollutions can buildup rapidely on the surface and washoff during irrigation and rainfall period. Some common model softwares such as SWAT and WASP have this simulation process.

Water environmental capacity calculation
Add environmental capacity calculation in ICM, user can easily find how much pollution the river can receive at each time step and each river’s total environment capacity during the whole simulatiton.
Water Environmental Capacity Calculation
Background
Water environmental capacity is an essential component of water environmental assessment and must be monitored and managed for economic, engineering, and human health reasons. Many efforts have been made to study methods for the calculation of water environmental capacity. This content reviews available literature on water environmental capacity. The evolutionary history and application scenarios of major water quality models, and water environmental capacity calculation…2 votes -
"jet flow" and agitation (inflow with a certain speed)
In China, efforts are being made to improve black and smelly water bodies. One of the measures is to increase water fluidity to improve water quality through natural purification of water bodies. So there are two measures to increase the fluidity of water body: "jet flow" and agitation. We need to add these two measures to ICM. In one-dimensional river or two-dimensional water body, the simulation of "jet" device is added to realize the setting of an inflow into the model at a certain speed. In a two-dimensional water body, the addition of local agitation facilities can realize the change…

Local water quality settings.
User can set local water quality parameters and local initial condition of Water Quality in ICM rather than globally.
Local WQ parameter should at least contain decay rate, DO process coefficient etc..
As for the local initial condition, DO concentration and other pollutants concentration could be set for each river reach.
For example, for one node or one link it could have a local “decay” in itself. And for the initial condition every node or link can have different intial pollution concentrations.2 votes -
Calculatiton speed with diffusion needs to improve.
Diffusion will seriously slow down the model culculation. But generally the water quality models have to run for several years. With current simulation speed that would be unlikely to do a water quality simulation with diffusion.

Save toolbar and screen configurations and locations
I run InfoWorks on my laptop, and have an external monitor. I find I'm often searching for toolbar buttons because switching between the two monitors of different sizes re-configures the locations of the various toolbars and screens.
For example, on my external monitor there is enough room to have the User Actions toolbar displaying, but my laptop is smaller and there is no longer enough room for it, so instead of two rows it bumps down to three and moves my toolbars all around. Adding in profiles or even a scrollable space for the toolbars so the ones to the…

Orifice to limit flow in both directions
A limiting discharge set on an orifice should limit flow in both directions. Currently, the orifice limits flow in the forward direction; however, flow can go in the reverse direction at an unlimited rate. Hydraulically, if there is a physical feature that limits flow, it seems that it would limit to (for example) <10 l/s and > - 10 l/s.

Modelling of Pressure Sewer System Storage Vessels
In the modelling of pressure sewer systems you often need to represent the same (standard) storage vessel (storage function) in your network over and over again. However, there is no storage tab in the node grid that would allow you to create and assign a common (named) storage function to multiple nodes.
