1. Modelling of Septicity

   As a sewer modeller I have occasionally been asked about odour generation in sewer networks. I have noticed that DO (dissolved oxygen) and BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) are both inputs in the wastewater and trade-waste model groups of Infoworks ICM SE. Given that these are possible inputs in a sewer model, is it possible to model the consumption of DO by BOD within the network to determine where and when the sewage becomes anaerobic and prone to odour generation? This would be particularly useful if you wanted to model the addition of a high BOD low volume trade waste stream into sewer reticulation system and you wanted to know if the trade waste could be diluted sufficiently so as not to become anaerobic while in transit.

2. The ability to save databases/models as previous versions for backwards compatibility

   A few of our clients use different versions of InfoWorks for various reasons (some are resistant to upgrading until they've had a chance to vet the new versions and understand the changes in house). This can create a problem where we must maintain and build using multiple versions of the software and multiple databases for different versions to serve different clients.

   I would like the ability to save a database/transportable database for compatibility of previous versions. Similar to what we have with AutoCAD, where you can work in the latest version, but choose which version to save it in. Currently there is no way for a model saved in the latest version to be opened in a previous version, or even converted to be compatible with an older version.

4. Export to Geopackage

   New versions should export to more generic GIS formats so that they are independent of commercial GIS platforms.

6. Allow pollutographs to apply on subcatchments

   At the moment it is not possible to set a pollutograph for subcatchments, and the modeller is obliged first to run the hydrology, export the hydrograph, re-import the hydrograph as inflow, and finally re-run with a pollutograph

8. Can ICM add particle tracking module?

   When there are pollutants that enter a system from various sources then it would be good to have pollutant tracing functionality which shows the source and the pollutant moving through the system, giving an idea of the rate at which it travels and impacts areas downstream.

9. RTC - New time range to allow "between 2 dates" every year

   In a similar way to the way "time repeat" works, can we have an RTC range that works between the same 2 dates every year. I have a catchment where the operating protocol works differently in the Bathing Season from the rest of the year. Having a way to check with one range if we are in the bathing season or not would avoid the clunky work arounds.

10. RTC updated to support scripting

    It would be good to have RTCs available through direct scripting rather than through the RTC editor alone.

11. Rating curves / equations as downstream boundaries

    At the moment we can use 'user control' links to act upstream of the DS boundary. These links have head/flow/power as their inputs. It would be useful to have a dedicated object that could be either a look up table of levels (rather than heads) and discharges, or an equation that would define the level / discharge relationship. Note that if an equation option were selected then it would need to be multi-part to allow for a changing relationship as water goes out of bank.

12. Add a modelling confidence field into the User Defined Flags

    This could simply be an additional free text field in the "User Defined Flags" window labelled "confidence" OR the user is able to define their own but they are limited to 5-7 options.

    The benefit is that when users pick up a model they better understand the confidence associated with each flag. Generally the "Description" field is currently seen as a "source" field. The users can then use SQLs / Ruby to build their own model confidence tools as they see fit while allowing greater transparency and functionality.

13. Customization of Grid Windows in InfoWorks ICM

    Allow custom grid window layouts in InfoWorks ICM, much like the Property window. Allow the user to reorganize the columns, change the column widths, or hide unnecessary columns, and save it as a layout to be applied as a default.

14. Allow user default sorting of Master Database, and sorting of Layers and Themes properties

    In InfoWorks ICM, allow the user to choose the default sorting of the Master Database and allow sorting of the Layers and Themes in Geoplan Properties and Themes.

    I would like to be able to have the master database automatically/default sorted based on something else (description/ID/User/Date).

    Would also like to sort the Layers & Themes dialogue, as it seems pretty random (not even alphabetical!) and often difficult to find the layer I'm looking for.

15. Add SWMM5 Ideal Pump to InfoWorks ICM

    Does InfoWorks ICM have an equivalent to an ideal pump in SWMM which pumps whatever is entering the SPS out of the SPS?

    It would be a good feature to include into infoworks as I needed to play around a bit to get it. I found I had to add line 2 or the pump kept on turning off rather than flow pacing.

    I have seen a screw pump used previously to pump out what comes into the SPS but dependent upon the head discharge parameters this can back up the incoming sewer. If I set a curve similar to the following should this work if the discharge at 0.1m head is significantly in excess of the maximum flow rate or given the fact that there is such a huge variation in flow across a small head change is this likely to cause problems.

    If I need to adjust the head range I suppose I could drop the pump on and off levels so that the model wont back up the incoming network.

16. Expanded Arithmetic Functions in the Statistics Templates for Events

    "We are exploring possibilities of doing some post-processing within Infoworks. Right now, we are looking for an option that would summarize CSO volume with an offset instead of threshold; i.e. instead of ignoring anything smaller than a threshold and counting everything greater than that as a whole we want it to subtract a certain amount"

17. Export Flood Profile from ICM to AutoCAD Civil 3D Profile file

    While exporting to AutoCAD DWG file format is ok - we used AutoCAD Civil 3D for drawing profiles. Can you just create a Profile file? or use LandXML to represent this information.

    From the Autodesk Help:
    About the Format Requirements of Profile Files

    Use profile files to record layout data for points of vertical intersection (PVIs) in a profile.

    A profile file is a simple text file in ASCII format. The file contains a series of stations along an alignment, the elevation of each station, and optionally, the length of curve at the station. Each line can include up to three information elements, separated by spaces:

    Station. An element required for each line. Plus characters (+) cannot be used.
    Elevation. A required element.
    Curve length. An optional element. However it cannot be used on the first or last line of the file. All vertical curves must be parabolic.
    Sample file lines:

    0 100.23
    50 104.2
    100 109.0 40.0
    150 102.63
    200 98.12 35.0
    250 102.45
    300 105.8
    In this example, only the third and fifth PVIs include curves (lengths of 40.0 and 35.0). Use these other format requirements for each profile file:

    The first and last lines must not contain curve information.
    The first line must provide the station and elevation for the first station.
    Stations must be in ascending order.
    No leading blank lines or headers.
    No blank lines; a blank line is read as the end of the file.
    No blank spaces at the beginning of any line.
    The last item must be the elevation for the last station.
