SWMM - Time Serie Plot

A SWMM temporal graph shows simulation information as a function of time elapsed in the simulation. This simulation must have a different start date/time than the end date/time of the simulation and a non-zero range for it to produce results. (see the topic Swmm / Datas to learn more.

A temporal simulation graph has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Description - Use a friendly description when the item name is not enough
  • Name - Item Name
  • Priority - Information about the current state of the item. Could it be: Neutral: no problem Warning: some problem, but that does not prevent the use or calculation Critical: Some issue that prevents the item from being calculated or used
  • Object Type - Object Type
• Object
  • Error Evaluation - Data evaluation result
    The data provided is evaluated so that the graph can be drawn. If it cannot, one of the errors below may appear:
    • SWMM is not working. calculated - use the command SWMMCALC to calculate
    • Insufficient data - Missing data items in series worksheet - add at least one item to worksheet:
      
      
    • Range - indicates that the chart range is not set. contained in the simulation range:
      • The start date/time of the chart is set. less than the simulation start date/time
      • The end date/time of the graph is set. greater than the simulation end date/time
      • The start date/time of the chart is set. equals The graph end date/time
    • Are any of the time series missing? with problems - note which grade is currently in trouble. marked with red dot :
      
      
• Chart - indicates the start and end of the chart
  • End Date - Date the chart ends
    It must be less than or equal to the end date of the simulation
  • Start Date - Date the chart starts
    It must be greater than or equal to the simulation start date.
  • End Time - Time the graph ends
    It must be less than or equal to the end time of the simulation
  • Start Time - Time when the graph starts
    It must be greater than or equal to the start time of the simulation.
  • X-axis - X-axis format
    Could it be:
    • Date - data are shown on their respective dates
    • Elapsed time - data is shown relative to the start of the simulation in days, hours, minutes or seconds
• Swmm - Indicates which swmm is required. the start and end of the simulation
  • End Date - Date the simulation should end
  • Start Date - Date when the simulation starts
  • End Time - Time at which the simulation should end
  • Start Time - Time of day the simulation starts

In order for a graph to be plotted, it is required. It is necessary to provide data. This data can come from:

• Nodes - the SWMM nodes
  É It is necessary to select the node. of the network you want to monitor
  • Depth
  • Hydraulic Load
  • Volume
  • Lateral Affluence
  • Total Affluence
  • Flooding
  • Concentration - of the first pollutant
• Links - the SWMM links
  It is necessary to select the link of the network that you want to monitor.
  • Flow
  • Flow Depth
  • Speed
  • Volume
  • Capacity - filled fraction of conduit
  • Concentration - of the first pollutant
• Sub-Catchments - the SWMM contribution catchments
  É it is necessary to select the sub-basin of the network that you want to monitor
  • Precipitation
  • Snow Depth
  • Evaporation
  • Infiltration
  • Outflow
  • GW Affluence
  • GW Lift
  • Soil Moisture - moisture content of the unsaturated zone
  • Concentration - of the first pollutant
• System - Swmm data
  • Temperature
  • Precipitation
  • Snow Depth
  • Losses
  • Outflow
  • DW Affluence
  • GW Affluence
  • I&I Affluence
  • Direct Affluence
  • Total Affluence
  • Flooding
  • Stream Output
  • Storage
  • Evaporation
