What is the difference?

The differences between the two products come into three basic categories:- Software Architecture Hydraulic Modelling IT Implementation

Software Architecture

Database Type No size limit Innovyze Database, Microsoft SQL, Oracle Managed by a dedicated Workgroup Database Server Truly multi-user access with full conflict control

Windows Platform 32-bit Windows Xp, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 64-bit Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2012

Software Architecture

New User Interface New multi user version control system New editing methodology New grouping structure Undo, Redo and Recycle bin

Software Architecture

Scenario Management for rapid model build and network analysis Allows different “what if” scenarios to be quickly

applied to a base Network Enables efficient examination of alternative modelling

scenarios User selects which scenarios to analyse, the software

automatically runs all the different scenarios

Scenario Manager

Software Architecture

Scenario Management for rapid model build and network analysis

Software Architecture

Mapping Control ArcGIS ArcEngine MapXtreme Map Free (i.e. no map control) Support for ArcGIS server map services

Software Authentication Hard (Dongle) or Soft (Key) Licence Options Local or LAN / WAN based implementation Full reporting on user access and usage

Estuary

Groundwater

Evaporation

Precipitation

Coast

Evaporation

Ability to model the complete above and below ground drainage system (natural and engineered) in one model.

1D and 2D calculations standard throughout package.

Hydraulic Modelling

Hydraulic Modelling

True representation of Open Channels No limit to x-Sections Full hydraulic interaction with 2D zones along length

of channel and over both river banks Support for bridges and in-line bank spills

Hydraulic Modelling

True 3D Graphical Representation of Structures

Hydraulic Modelling

Infiltration from the 2D mesh after direct runoff

Basic Mesh Mesh adapts to features in network

or background layers. But not to changes in terrain

(ground model). Triangles are a similar size in both

flat and steep areas.

Terrain-sensitive meshing

Advanced Mesh Mesh adapts to reduce ground level

variation in each triangle. Smaller triangles in steep areas

model terrain more accurately. Increasingly important as we move

to 2D-only modelling.

Hydraulic Modelling

Full Water Quality across all Domains Conservative and non-conservative pollutants

throughout (1D and 2D) Support for decaying pollutants New determinants: dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrite

(NO2), nitrate (NO3), pH (PH), salt (SAL), water temperature (TW) and coliforms (COL)

Structure reaeration: reaeration coefficients can be specified for controls (excluding pumps) in the network

Temperature changes Oxygen demand

Utilises Existing PC Resources

The software can be installed stand-alone for single-user operation.

Existing computer hardware, such as that used with older modelling applications, can be utilised when upgrading to InfoWorks ICM.

InfoWorks ICM provides better run-time performance when compared with InfoWorks CS and InfoWorks RS on the same PC hardware.

Utilises Existing PC Resources

As hydraulic models grow and become more complex, InfoWorks ICM users can start to operate as part of a small office work-group and share local computer resources to gain maximum efficiency.

IT Implementation

Hardware Support Support for a wide range of Intel and AMD CPU’s,

including multi-processor units InfoWorks ICM Simulation Engine is multi-core aware

(fully tested up to 32 cores)

IT Implementation

Hardware Support Multiple Simulation jobs can execute concurrently on

a given agent with a single licence A limit can be set on the number of threads used by

an individual simulation job

Simulation Server Simulations can be run on

• Stand-alone workstations• Within a Workgroup sharing computer resources• Within an Enterprise System with dedicated servers and

central store Supports the concurrent running of multiple

simulations, even with a single licence Users are able to monitor and control the progress

of selected simulations Possible to re-schedule the queue and priority of

simulation jobs

IT Implementation

GPU detection for accelerated 2D calculations Detects all nVidia CUDA enabled GPU’s with

Compute Level 2.0 or higher• Tesla GPU Computing Products• Quadro Products• NVS Products• GeForce 400, 500, 600 and 700 series

IT Implementation

GPU acceleration is significant! Example : 2D Model, Auckland NZ

1,500Ha area with rainfall on 100% of the mesh. Just under 1 million 2D elements.
