Network Objects
In InfoWorks ICM, a network is a representation of a drainage system, usually displayed over the top of a scale map of the drainage area.
Network objects are divided into categories as described below.
Nodes |
A node represents a physical structure in the drainage system. |
Links |
A link represents the physical connection between two nodes. The main types of link available are:
|
Subcatchments |
Subcatchments represents the physical area from which a manhole or other inflow node collects water. |
Polygon Objects |
Polygon Objects provide a method for specifying a geographical area on the GeoPlan Window. Network Results Polygon (2D) objects are used to interrogate results within a 2D mesh (InfoWorks networks only). |
Lines
|
Lines are used:
Network Results Line (2D) objects in InfoWorks are used to interrogate results within a 2D mesh. |
Points |
The Point objects in an InfoWorks network are:
In SWMM networks, the only Point object is a Rain Gage, which is associated with a rainfall profile from a rainfall event to provide a source of precipitation data for use in subcatchments or unit hydrograph groups. |
You can easily navigate from an object to many adjacent or associated objects using options on the Property Sheets and Grid Windows.
