Introduction to InfoWorks CS 2D

This 1-day course will provide the user with a comprehensive understanding of how to create a 2D flood routing model. The course comprises computer hands on approach with the first day concentrating on small network examples followed by a real life example on the second day. It is possible for the users to use a standard data set provided by WSL or their own data for the second day. The worked examples and demonstrations show the latest developments made to the 2D functionality in InfoWorks CS.

Teaching Method

Computer hands-on training that involves each attendee being guided through a series of worked examples and practical exercises. Lecture style presentations will be used to explain the fundamental aspects of modeling systems using 2D hydrodynamic engine.

Competency

It is recommended that all attendees should have some experience with InfoWorks CS or haveattended the 2-day “Introduction to InfoWorks CS” training course.

Course Agenda

Introduction to 2D flood modeling and data requirements - Involves a brief discussion on how 2D flood routing differs to a 1D method and what comprises a 2D model. Also details the data requirements to accurately represent flood routes.

Creating a 2D mesh - The course covers the characteristics of the mesh including features such as modelling of walls, impenetrable buildings and fences. The linkage between the 1D underground pipe system and the 2D mesh is discussed in detail.

Running 2D simulations - The course will cover the parameters needed for running 2D simulations. Any errors and methods for resolving them will be explained.

Viewing and Understanding the results - Attendees will be introduced to new tools incorporated in InfoWorks CS 2D for analyzing 2D results. These include graphical representations, themes and the export of results.

2D Case Study - The case study will take the attendee through the process of importing ground models and creating meshes. It is possible for attendees to bring their own data to the training class to be used instead of the provided study. It is anticipated that the attendee will be able to apply all of the knowledge gained from Day-1 in order to complete the case study. The analysis will be structured to identify areas that are likely to flood, maximum velocities and flood depths.
