For example, network components can be directly imported from an ArcView, ArcInfo, or MapInfo GIS, or be interactively created using a mouse by simply pointing and clicking. Graphical symbols are used to represent network elements, such as manholes, pipes, pumps, weirs, ditches, channels, and detention ponds. MIKE SWMM allows you, at any time, to interactively add, insert, delete, or move any network component, automatically updating the model. For example, selecting and moving a manhole automatically moves all connected pipes, ditches, channels, and pumps. The graphical representation of the model can be output at any drawing scale.
Pipes can be curvilinear and lengths automatically computed.
Scanned TIFF or BMP aerial images or maps, or DXF maps of streets, parcels, and buildings can be displayed as a background image, allowing the user to quickly digitize a network model, confirm the network layout, or simply enhance the outputted modeling results. And, the Network Element Inspector allows the user to point and click on any network manhole, pipe, pump, weir, ditch, channel, or detention pond from the horizontal plan view to quickly determine the defined input data and output modeling results. Back To Top MIKE SWMM allows you to quickly develop a comprehensive urban drainage stormwater sewer model. SWMM is the most widely applied stormwater and wastewater model in North America, with universal acceptance in the North American regulatory community and with a dedicated SWMM user community that numbers in the thousands. CDM was one of the initial developers of SWMM, and, in conjunction with the EPA, has continued to support and enhance SWMM for more than 20 years.
