Innovyze Releases InfoWorks ICM Version 2.5 to Drive Business Success
Innovyze announced the release of InfoWorks ICM V2.5, a comprehensive urban drainage modeling solution that enables users to work more efficiently and get the reliable information they need to make better design and operational decisions for optimal performance. Since its release, InfoWorks ICM has become the solution for integrated river, sewer and overland flow modeling among utilities, municipalities, local authorities and their consultants around the world. InfoWorks ICM V2.5 incorporates many of the features requested by this growing customer base.
A hallmark of InfoWorks ICM is its dynamic integration of one-dimensional (1D) hydrodynamic simulation of flows in rivers, open channels and pipe networks and two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic simulation of surface flooding in the urban environment and river floodplain. The combination provides a solution for simultaneously modeling below-ground and above-ground elements of catchments to accurately represent all flow paths and improve understanding of processes occurring in the holistic environment. The software also takes interactions of natural and man-made environments into account and effectively simulates the impact of polluting runoff and effluent from urban areas on water quality. Such advanced capabilities give water utilities greatly enhanced capabilities for predicting flood risks; supporting cost-effective drainage design and management; developing online urban flooding forecasts; conceiving and evaluating sound and reliable urban catchment strategies such as storm sewer separation, active real-time control and provision of adequate additional storage; and improving drainage system operation.
A key focus of InfoWorks ICM V2.5 is speeding the integrated modeling experience in almost every respect. Innovyze users continue to build larger and more complex models that more accurately depict the exact conditions in a collection system and associated watersheds. These “all pipes” models are critical for more accurate overflow predictions and a precursor to accurate real time operational modeling. Their added complexity demands continuous improvements to both 1D and 2D simulation engines. InfoWorks ICM includes numerous options that allow users to complete their work faster, including advanced 2D meshing, individual multi-threading for each simulation job, and caching to improve drawing performance.
