Adding Inflow vs. Capture Data to a Catch Basin

You can add an Inflow vs. Capture curve to any catch basin in your model. The Inflow vs. Capture curve plots the total inflow against the total captured flow for a series of data points that you define.

To add Inflow vs. Capture data to a catch basin:

  1. Click a catch basin in your model to display the Property Editor, or right-click a catch basin and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
  2. In the Inlet section of the Property Editor, select Inflow-Capture Curve as the Inlet Type. The Inflow-Capture Curve field becomes available.
  3. Click the Ellipses (...) button next to the Inflow-Capture Curve field.
  4. In the Inflow-Capture Curve dialog box, each row in the table represents a data point on the Inflow-Capture curve. Type values for the Total Inlet Flow and Inlet Capture for each row. Click the New button to add a row or press the Tab key to advance to the next field in the table.
  5. Perform the following optional steps:
  6. To delete a row from the table, select the row then click Delete.
  7. To view a report on the curve, click Report.
  8. To view a plot of the curve, click Graph.
  9. Click OK to close the dialog box and save your curve data in the Property Editor.

Inflow-Capture Curve Dialog Box

This dialog box allows you to define Total Inflow vs. Inlet Capture tables for catchments. The dialog box contains the inflow vs. capture table along with the following controls:

     
New Creates a new row in the inflow-capture curve table.
Delete Deletes the currently highlighted row from the inflow-capture curve table.
Report Opens a print preview window containing a report that details the input data for this dialog box.
Graph Opens a graph window plotting the inflow-capture curve defined by the points in the table.

The table contains the following columns:

Column Description
Total Inlet Inflow Lets you define the inflow at the current curve point. Total inlet flow is the cumulative flow from all catchments and other loads that actually reaches the catch basin.
Inlet Capture Lets you define the total captured flow for the current curve point. Inlet capture is the portion of the total inlet flow that actually enters the catch basin and is passed downstream.
