The Bentley SewerGEMS toolbar offers the following functionality:

• Model—The Model menu contains the following commands:
• Add New Model—Creates a new Bentley SewerGEMS model. When you select this command, a Save As dialog box appears, allowing you to define a name and directory location for the new model.
• Add Existing Model—Opens an existing model. When you select this command, an Open dialog box appears, allowing you to browse to the model to be opened.
• Import—Opens a submenu containing the following commands:
• SWMM v5—Opens a Windows Browse dialog box, allowing you to choose the SWMM v5 file to import.
• Bentley SewerGEMS Database—Lets you import a Bentley SewerGEMS model database file.
• Export—Opens a submenu containing the following command:
• SWMM v5—Lets you export the current model to SWMM format.
• Model Properties—Opens the Model Properties dialog.
• Edit—The Edit menu contains the following commands:
• Select All—Selects all of the elements in the network.
• Select By Element—Opens a submenu listing all available element types. Select one of the element types from the submenu to select all elements of that type in the model.
• Clear Selection—Deselects the currently selected element(s).
• Find Element—Lets you find a specific element by entering the element’s label.
• Analysis—The Analysis menu contains the following commands:
• LoadBuilder—Opens the LoadBuilder Manager dialog.
• Storm Data—Opens the Storm Data dialog box, which lets you create, edit, and delete storm data. These storms are available for you to select for a catchment.
• Global Storm Data—Opens the Global Storm Data Settings dialog box, which lets you define model-wide global storm data data.
• Pipe Catalog—Opens the Catalog Pipe dialog box, which lets you create, edit, and view catalog pipes. Catalog pipes are an efficient way to reuse common physical pipe definitions.
• Pump Definitions—Opens the Pump Definitions dialog box, which lets you view, edit, and create Pump Definitions.
• SWMM Extensions—Opens a submenu containing the following SWMM-specific commands:
• Climatology—Opens the Climatology dialog box, allowing you to view and edit evaporation data for use in SWMM calculations.
• Snow Pack—Opens the Snow Pack dialog box, allowing you to view and edit snow pack data for use in SWMM calculations.
• Aquifers—Opens the Aquifers dialog box, allowing you to view and edit aquifer data for use in SWMM calculations.
• Control Sets—Opens the Control Sets dialog box, allowing you to view, edit, and create control sets for use in SWMM calculations.
• Pollutants—Opens the Pollutants dialog box, allowing you to view and edit pollutant data for use in SWMM calculations.
• Land Uses—Opens the Land Use dialog box, allowing you to view and edit land use data for use in SWMM calculations.
• Unit Sanitary Loads—Opens the Unit Sanitary (Dry Weather) Loads dialog box, which lets you create, edit, and delete unit sanitary loads.
• Patterns—Opens the Pattern Manager where you can create and edit diurnal loading patterns for use with extended period simulations.
• Pattern Setups—Opens the Pattern Setup Manager where you can associate diurnal patterns with the appropriate unit sanitary loads for a given scenario.
• Validate—Runs a diagnostic check on the network data to alert you to possible problems that may be encountered during calculation. This is the manual validation command, and it checks for input data errors. It differs in this respect from the automatic validation that Bentley SewerGEMS runs when the compute command is initiated, which only checks for network connectivity errors.
• Compute Hydrology—Lets you perform the hydrologic calculations for the current scenario.
• Compute—Calculates the network. Before calculating, an automatic validation routine is triggered, which checks the model for network connectivity errors. Note that this automatic validation does not check for input data errors; to check for these types of errors, you must manually validate the model using the Validate command.
• Always Compute Hydrology—Lets you turn hydrology calculations on and off whenever the model is calculated. Turning hydrology computation off improves performance and is recommended when the hydrology input will not change.
• View—The View menu contains the following commands:
• Model Manager—Opens the Model Manager dialog. (See "Managing Models In ArcMap"-908)
• Scenarios—Opens the Scenario Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage model scenarios.
• Alternatives—Opens the Alternatives Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage alternatives.
• Calculation Options—Opens the Calculation Options Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage calculation settings for the model.
• User Notifications—Opens the User Notifications Manager, allowing you to view warnings and errors uncovered by the validation process.
• Selection Sets—Opens the Selection Sets Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage selection sets associated with the model.
• Network Navigator—Opens the Network Navigator manager, which lets you quickly navigate to and review any group of elements.
• Properties—Turns the Properties Editor display on or off.
• Flextables—Opens the FlexTables Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage the tabular reports for the model.
• Graphs—Opens the Graph Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage graphs for the model.
• Profiles—Opens the Profile Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage the profiles for the model.
• Time Browser—Opens the Scenario Animation manager, which lets you manipulate the currently displayed time step and to animate the drawing pane.
• Auto-Refresh—Turns automatic updates to the main window view on or off whenever changes are made to the Bentley SewerGEMS datastore. When selected, a check mark appears next to this menu command, indicating that automatic updates are turned on.
• Refresh Drawing—Updates the main window view according to the latest information contained in the Bentley SewerGEMS datastore.
• Apply Bentley SewerGEMS Renderer—Allows you to toggle the Bentley SewerGEMS renderer on/off. When the renderer is On, Bentley SewerGEMS color coding settings are applied and inactive elements are displayed in the color specified in the Inactive Topology Color field of the Bentley SewerGEMS Global Options tab (to access Options, click the Bentley SewerGEMS menu and select the Tools...Options command.)
• Show Flow Arrows—Allows you to toggle on/off flow arrow visibility.
• Tools—The Tools menu contains the following commands:
• ModelBuilder—Opens the ModelBuilder Connections Manager. (See "ModelBuilder Connections Manager" on page 5-171)
• Thiessen Polygon—Opens the Thiessen Polygon Input dialog. (See "Generating Thiessen Polygons"-923)
• Engineering Libraries—Opens the Engineering Libraries Manager.
• Database Utilities—Opens a submenu containing the following commands:
• Compact Database—When you delete data from a Bentley SewerGEMS model, such as elements or alternatives, the database store that Bentley SewerGEMS uses can become fragmented, causing data storage to be inefficient. This can cause unnecessarily large data files, which impact performance substantially. Compacting the database eliminates the empty data records, thereby defragmenting the datastore and improving the performance of the file. Every tenth time a file is opened, Bentley SewerGEMS will automatically prompt you to compact the database. Click Yes to compact the database, or no to close the prompt dialog box without compacting. Since compacting the database can take time, especially for larger models, you way want to postpone the compact procedure until a later time.
• Synchronize Drawing—Synchronizes the current model with the model database.
• Options—Opens the Options dialog box, which lets you change global settings such as display pane settings, units, display precision and format used, and element labeling.
• Report—The Report menu contains the following commands:
• Element Tables—Opens a submenu containing a command for each of the element types, each of which opens a tabular report containing all of the input data and results for every instance of the selected element in the model.
• Layer Symbology—Opens the Color Coding Properties dialog. Bentley SewerGEMS color coding settings are only applied when the Bentley SewerGEMS Renderer is toggled On (to turn on the Bentley SewerGEMS renderer, click the Bentley SewerGEMS menu and select the View...Apply Bentley SewerGEMS Renderer command).
• Scenario Summary—Opens the Scenario Summary Report.
• Calculation Executive Summary—Opens the calculation executive summary report, which reports a summary of the calculations performed on your model.
• Calculation Detailed Summary—Opens the calculation detailed summary report, which reports the details of the calculations performed on your model.
