Create channel section lines from points
Survey data for river sections is often delivered as point data. To be able to create a model in ICM from this it needs to be converted into a line. This functionality was available in RS.

Show individual vertex points in the geoplan at all zooms
Vertices are only shown in the geoplan when zoomed in. It would be useful to see these at all zoom levels for cross sections and bank lines.

Include a new conduit type for tile drains
Add a new conduit type to model tile drains or underdrains. These are common in agricultural fields and certain stormwater control structures. Currently, its difficult to model these since you can't account for the time it takes to infiltrate from the surface to the drain based on its depth.

Slot Width field for 1D conduits
Could the Slot Width field be enabled for Conduit Type "Conduit" and results generated by the application of the numerical correction tool been stored there for greater clarity, thanks.
4 votesThanks for the idea!
The slot width field is used to define the width of the drain when using a 2D conduit. Are you after a field to define preissmann slot?

Use PDM Soil moisture deficit variable to trigger RTC
Just like you can set thresholds or target values for level or flow in an RC I would like to be able to use the Soil moisture deficit variable from PDM subcatchment to regulate structures or variable pumps. This could be useful to somewhat reproduce the behavior of water users such as pond fishermen or irrigating farmers.

Sediment depth variable for Storage nodes
It appears that amounts of sediment are carried along when water is overflowing over the banks of the river: part of the sediment from sediment fractions SF1 and SF2 leaves the river and goes to the Storage Areas during flooding. Although this is taken into account in the sediment balance, there is no variable being saved for the Storage Node in order to know how much sediment may accumulate in that storage area, nor can it be exported or visualized. Could you add the quality variable "sediment depth" present for the river sections also for the storage node (you don't…

Save and reuse PDM state variables in order to avoid long warmup
Before starting a hydraulic run, it is currently necessary to simulate long runoff-only runs in order to warm up the state variables of a PDM subcatchment, particularly soil moisture deficit. Would it be possible to impose initial state variables in order to shorten the necessary warmup simulation or avoid it entirely?

Update French rainfall to include multiple durations
Ability to add more than 1 duration per return period in a single rainfall object.
There are 3 sets of parameters for durations 6 < t < 60, 60 < t < 360 and 360 < t < 24hr.
It would be useful to be able to add these parameters for each return period and then select a number of durations.

Ability to use variables in range RTC rules
For RTC range rules, we want to be able to use variables instead of constant values for the minimum and maximum values.

Simplify the Ground Water Model
Simplify the InfoWorks Ground Water model Or GIM by using only the Ground layer instead of two layers Soil and Ground.
Don’t use the soil store component of the GIM.
Innovyze, please simplify the conceptual design of the GIM by reducing it to one layer.

Order ARR19 Box and Whisker plots by duration
The box and whisker plot outputs order alphabetically. It would be useful if it ordered based on rainfall event duration instead.

Graph sum of multiple objects instead of each selected object
While looking at multiple drainage areas in a basin (in my example), results can become hard to read; it would be nice if you could graph multiple objects and have the option to see the summation of the selection instead of each individual item.

Compare WWG and TWG files
A tool to compare different WWG files and TWG files and report on the differences, similar to the Compare functionality for Networks.

Retain decimal places when copying/pasting grid values
For most numerical values in a model, ICM can hold 8 decimal places. From the grid view, if you copy/paste a single cell value, the full set of decimal values are preserved. However, if you copy multiple cell values at once (e.g. an entire column), only the visible/display decimal places will be retained. For certain fields with combinations of large/small values and units, e.g. area values measured in hectares, or baseflow measured in l/s, basic copying/pasting values can result in a lot of precision being lost.
The work-around for this is to use SQLs to copy/paste/move values around, which ensures…
2 votesThanks for the idea. We are happy to hear you have a workaround while we work to continue to improve our tools for our users.

MULTIPURPOSE 2D ZONE
Often, I have to duplicate multiple zones to attach different attributes, such as level, roughness, infiltration and even mesh size,
It would be so much more efficient to be able to include all these attributes in a single zone type. For example, to select all building polygons and turn them into the SUPER zone; and then apply a roughness, infiltration, mesh size and raise them be say 300mm above the ground model. Utopia?

Add calibration criteria
Add in ability to review calibration in the model using calibration criteria such as those contained in the CIWEM COP
1 voteThanks for the great idea. Could you you give an example of how you would see this working in the software?

section view of ground model and 2d mesh
It would be very usefull to be able to generate a section view of both a ground model and a generated 2d mesh. At the moment this is only possible in a flood section after a simulation.
So it should be not too difficult to move this possibility also to a network before simulating.

Export statistical template results automatically as part of the manifest.
Particularly CSO spill statistics - enabling models to be run maybe weekly with historical data, the statistics exported - spill nr, duration and particularly predicted volume. This data can then be analysed in tools outside of ICMLive. This data would significantly enhance the understanding of CSO spills by adding volume to the normal Event Duration Monitoring
