Welcome to the Tutorials for InfoWorks ICM
The following tutorials are currently available:
- Basic Tutorial
- Structure and 2D Tutorials
These tutorials describe the river modelling features of InfoWorks ICM.
This tutorial provides an introduction to InfoWorks ICM and describes how to use its main features for a 1D network.
You do not need to have completed the tasks contained in the Basic Tutorial before starting any of the tasks in the Structure and 2D Tutorials, although if you are new to InfoWorks ICM, then it would be advisable to do so.
Screenshots may have been taken from development snapshot builds of the software (the application title bar may therefore slightly differ from the one of your released version).
Sample data is provided for each step. Please refer to the Installing the tutorial example data section (below) for further information.
Installing the tutorial example data
Important note The example databases and associated files (import files, ground model) are NOT installed with the main application. To use the example data you must install it using the tutorial installer, which can be downloaded from Product Updates in the Support section of the Innovyze website. When you have selected the appropriate product, you will need to enter your details. A list of available downloads will then appear, including the Innovyze Workgroup Client Tutorial. Download this to use the example database and associated files for the selected product.
When installed, the tutorial files can be found in the following folders at the location they have been installed at:
- ICM Basic Examples (Basic Tutorial)

If you accepted the default offered during installation, you will find these folders in the Example Data Directory.
The example database is different for each of the tutorials, and information about opening the Basic Tutorial database can be found in the Opening the Example Database topic while the information for opening the Structure / 2D Tutorials database is contained in the Opening the Example Transportable Database topic.
