Updating a solute data object from an EPANET MSX file
To update a solute data object with data from an MSX file:
- Right-click the solute data object and select Update | Update from EPANET MSX.
This opens a standard Windows Open dialog.
- Select the MSX file that you want to use for the update and click Open.
Note: Some data is imported into an associated control object, not the solute data object.
| MSX file section | Treatment in InfoWorks WS Pro |
|---|---|
| [TITLE] | Ignored. |
| [OPTIONS] | Ignored. Units and time steps are handled in InfoWorks WS Pro. |
| [SPECIES] | (1) Species names are imported and (2) the bulk/wall specifiers are imported. Both into the solute data object. |
| [COEFFICIENTS] | These are imported into the solute data object. |
| [TERMS] | These are imported into the solute data object. |
| [PIPES] | Expressions for equilibria, formulae and rates for both pipes and reservoirs (that is, EPANET tanks) are imported into the solute data object. |
| [TANKS] | Expressions for equilibria, formulae and rates for both pipes and reservoirs (that is, EPANET tanks) are imported into the solute data object. |
| [SOURCES] | Not for the solute data object. Goes into the control object, for nodes. |
| [QUALITY] | Initial concentrations. Global values for each species go into the solute data object, with species. Initial values for species at individual nodes and links will go into the control object. |
| [PARAMETERS] | These values go into the control object, not the solute data object. |
| [PATTERNS] | These enter the control object for nodal sources. |
| [REPORT] | Ignored. |
