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.

Commit history for scenarios
Commit history for scenarios
Show an extra column in the commit history window to indicate how many scenarios exist in this version of the network. Ideally, there would be a button or column through which you can see the names of the scenarios for this network version.12 votes -
ChatGPT in ICM
Hello Help Desk, this is just a general query, but will Autodesk-Infoworks be developing plug-ins for ChatGBT to allow Chat GBT to write custom SQL queries for Infoworks WSPro and ICM? Chat GBT can already write generic SQL queries, but it needs the database schema to be able to write specific SQLs. This seems like a great opportunity to assist users that are a little bit weak on SQL to get more out of Infoworks.

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.

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

Re-order objects
Can it be possible to re-order objects within an InfoWorks ICM model Group. As objects can get added or superseded over time. So to aid model audits and ease of use, it would be really beneficial to have an option to re-order. Thanks
6 votesThanks for the idea. Have you tried using the different sort options in the tree?

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?

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.

Spread automatic inserted vertices in Bank Lines equally
The "Update from ground model" provides the option to “Insert vertices on lines to give maximum spacing of x m”. This is very useful for creating Bank Line vertices at small intervals. It would be helpful if those inserted vertices are spread equally over the Bank Line section.
At the moment new vertices are created at the specified interval (e.g. 10m), which often results in new vertices created very close to the existing downstream Cross-section end vertices. This can result in tiny internal triangles during meshing.
Spreading out the inserted vertices at equal distance over the Bank Line will provide…

View ground model profile for a temporary line
It would be useful to quickly draw a line and see a plot of the ground model along that line. Similar to ArcGIS's Elevation Profile tool and HEC-RAS's Plot Terrain Profiles tool.

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.

Un-ticking All Objects under ICM Properties and Themes
The "Properties and Themes" provides the option to Display certain model Object Layers (i.e. Node, Conduit, 2D Zone, etc.). It is a very long list of about 50 layers.
It would be helpful if there is an option to Tick (or Un-Tick) all layers at once.

Use tracers for water on mesh elements
Our clients are more and more trying to figure out if damage to a property is caused by water from the public area (which is the responsibility of the client) or from private areas (which is not). When rainfall on mesh can pick up a tracer (eg. from existing objects like infiltration zones or roughness zones) we think we'll be able to better help our clients.

improve print functionality
The print functionality in ICM could be improved very much (printing to PDF files). It takes at the moment a lot of time and even then it is not possible to easily (and flexible) fit a selection to the chose page setup (size) for example. Or fit a complet network to the chose paper size.
Of course using snipping tool is a workaround sometimes, However this is not suitable in many cases.
To my opinion a package like ICM needs a working functionality to export results to PDF in a proper and nice manner for reporting.

split network results lines
it would be great if the "splitting lines" function can be applied to network results lines too, which would help a lot if we need to break up a large amount of NRLs into multiple segments rather than redrawing them.

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.

Cumulative flow for comparison (via Result> Graph Report>Location/Simulation report
When producing flow comparison in InfoWorks ICM (via Result> Graph Report>Location/Simulation report) please add the cumulative flow (dynamically for the visible range). Currently this is available only for Graphing any single pipe. And also give option to check/uncheck any given time series visibility when more than 2 hydrograph is compared. Also, It appears ‘Statistics Blocks’ font size/style cannot be altered.

Different shape sluice or pipe/orifice closure option
We usually model closed gates as sluices, as they are the ones that can easily be closed (by setting the height to zero). The downside of this is that it can only be a rectangle (and it usually closes off a round pipe). An orifice now has the nice option to set it at either circular or rectangular, but closing it is not possible (setting the flow limit to zero would make sense here, but doesn’t work). Is it possible to do something about that? In WSPro you have the nice checkbox Close Pipe for all objects, that would come…
