Calculation

Calculation Group

Setting	Description
Scenarios Scenario Manager Scenario Comparison	Scenario Manager - Lets you create, edit, and manage scenarios. Scenario Comparison - Enables you to compare input values between any two scenarios to identify differences quickly.
Alternatives	Lets you specify which alternative to analyze.
Options	Calculation options associated with scenario
Compute Compute Scenario Compute Hydrology Critical Storm Analysis	Compute Scenario - Calculates the network. Compute Hydrology - Performs hydrology calculations. Critical Storm Analysis - Analyzes the results of the selected scenarios, to determine which scenario is the most critical one, either by using the Hydraulic Grade Line at nodes, or the Flow in conduits Note: This tool is only available if SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, or CivilStorm licenses are active.
Validate	Runs a diagnostic check on the network data to alert you to possible problems that may be encountered during calculation.
Time Browser	Opens the Time Browser manager, allowing you to manipulate the currently displayed time step and to animate the drawing pane. Note: This tool is only available if SewerGEMS, SewerCAD or CivilStorm licenses are active.
Calculation Summary	Opens the calculation summary report, which reports the details of the calculations performed on your model.
Notifications	Opens the User Notifications Manager, allowing you to view warnings and errors uncovered by the validation process.
System Head Curves	Plots a graph of head vs. flow that shows the head required to move a given flow rate through the pump and into the distribution system. Note: This tool is only available if SewerCAD license is active.

Analysis Tools

Analysis Tools Group

Setting	Description
Compute Center	Enables the user to quickly and easily keep track of and modify high level settings for the current scenario.
Statistics	Note: This tool is only available if SewerGEMS, SewerCAD or CivilStorm licenses are active.
Totalizing Flow Meters	Allows you to view results of the total volume going through your model for a specific selection of elements. Note: This tool is only available if SewerGEMS, SewerCAD or CivilStorm licenses are active.
Hydraulic Reviewer	Assesses the convergence and stability of the model. Note: This tool is only available if SewerGEMS or CivilStorm licenses are active.
Default Design Constraints	Allows the user to specify a set of default design constraints that can used by pipe diameters, invert elevations, node structures, and inlets.
Show Overflows	Shows the paths taken, and ponds caused, by overflows at catch basins and manholes. Note: This tool is only available if SewerGEMS or CivilStorm licenses are active.

Analysis Views

Analysis Views Group

Setting	Description
Flex Tables	Allows you to view input data and results for all elements of a specific type in a tabular format.
Queries	Displays all queries in the current hydraulic model, including predefined, shared, and hydraulic model queries.
