Edit Pump and Valve Curves in IWLive
IWLive is the perfect platform to examine how well valve and pump curves are simulating the actual behavior under a wide range of system conditions. If these could be modified in an incident run, it would save lots of time going back to WS to modify them.

Specify number of demands
I almost never need to use all 10 demand fields in InfoWater. The ability to specify the number of demand fields needed would save space in the demand DB table and in the Model Explorer window and make viewing these windows easier.

Automate concurrent Fireflow simulations
When you integrate InfoWater into the InfoWorks platform, it would be great if you could ensure that FireFlow simulations can be scheduled and automatically run sequentially for different network scenarios. As far as I am aware this is not possible using the exsiting InfoWater platform.

IWLive Pro to adopt simulation periods of ICMLive
Each simulation has a hindcast period, now and a forecast period

For fire flow simulations, I would like to have range reports for pipes, valves, pumps, reservoirs, and tanks.
For example, I would like to know the maximum, minimum, and average velocity through each PRV across all fire flow runs in a simulation.

I want to combine the CLA with the generalised Multi Run in Infoworks WS Pro
I want to combine the CLA with the generalised Multi Run in Infoworks WS Pro. We use Critical link analyses. After these runs we analyse with script in exchange. As result we get of every pipe the maximum flow in relation with the isolation_area. We use this to define the classes of the pipe. But also how many Customers effected related to the demand efficiency grades. Then you know the capacity of a backup pipe. SO it would be nice that you can use Multi Generalised Multi Run (only keep the query results after a run) in combination of Critical…

Add multiple rows to the InfoWater "Rule Header" DB table
In the "Pipe Control" or "Node Control" DB tables, I can insert or append multiple rows at once. In the "Rule Header" DB table, I can only insert or append one row at a time, and each row must have an ID.
Please make the behavior of this table consistent with the other control tables and allow adding multiple rows at the same time.1 vote -
I want more flexible shutdown runs
e.g.: I want to be able to evaluate shutdwon of pumping stations in 1 one run, now I have to create a seperate run for each pumping station. A workaround I use is closing links with a GRM config, but this only shuts down links for the whole simulation.

Critical Node Pressure at Design Flow
Please add a column in the Fireflow Design results that displays the "Critical Node Pressure at Design Flow". The column titled “Critical Pressure for Design Run” currently displays the input criteria as it can vary for each node. However, this is not as useful when troubleshooting or reviewing the model results. As an example, if a fire flow run is velocity limited it would be nice to know the lowest pressure node and its pressure in the critical node search domain. It may not have reached the minimum pressure if limited by the velocity constraint (i.e. how close did the…

Default Symbol and Map Display
Please allow the option to choose the default symbol (InfoWater Model Preferences) and Map Display symbol from the "Styles" built into ArcGIS Pro. Both ESRI and my company have custom .stylx files that house our custom symbols for points, polylines, and polygons. Having the option to chose the default style from these pre-populated styles would be fantastic. Currently, the options to change the symbol feel like it limits the modeler to changing either the color or the size.
To see where these styles live in ArcGIS Pro, head to the View tab, click on Catalog Pane, then drop down the…

Provide a Standard Warehouse of new assets
Allow the company that is running the software to define a standard warehouse of new assets so the modellers using it know the assets they are adding have the settings (diameters) of the actual assets or pipes that particular company uses.

Allow the InfoWater Pro "Live Data Adapter" to use non-live data
The Live Data Adapter can be a powerful tool for calibrating models, but is difficult to set up. Many times, you don't have permission to connect to the SCADA historian database. Right now, it only supports ClearSCADA, PI, SQL Server, and Oracle, formats which require familiarity with these databases. If the tool could connect to Excel, CSV, or Access DB files, it would be more flexible and useful to all users.
Alternatively, update the "Real-Time Data Connection" feature (Command Center>Edit) to allow for gap analysis.

Display Warnings when Tank Stage/Volume Curve Inconsistent with Levels
As far as I can tell this is an EPANET bug, but say your tank levels are set to minimum 4 and maximum 20. If you have a stage/volume curve that goes below 4, your tank will supply water forever from a level of 4 feet.

inlet riser option for tank
Have an option to specify an Inlet Riser Pipe for the tank element. This would hold the fill head at a constant, set at the riser pipe elevation, but allow the tank discharge head vary with the tank level.

I want to be able to customize the minor loss table for pipe networks.
It would be nice if the user could modify the minor loss table for pipes. Whether it be changing the minor loss values, deleting, or editing the existing values. Since we all have our own resource we typical reference for these values, it would be nice to import those values and have that database saved in Infowater to make it easy to add all bends, etc. while building a model.
Thanks!

CAM Enhancement
CAM Enhancements
A few things to consider that I think would make your tool better than others I have seen/used:
- The ability to export the pounded areas into GIS. It seems to me this shouldn’t be difficult as you are color coding them now in your software
- The ability to export the other results to GIS like closed elements, isolated junctions, etc… into GIS.
- The ability to identify the number of customers (i.e. meters) and the number of critical customers (i.e. meters) isolated for each pounded area. This would require a GIS point layer with meters associated with pipes and…

InfoWater: Report volume stored in tanks
I can calculate volume from level, but it's an extra step and requires that I copy the run results out to Excel. It's even more difficult if I have a non-circular tank. Please include tank volume in the tank results and in the "System Demand" report.
