ModelTracker
A comprehensive ModelTracker makes it easy for users to organize and manage any modeling project and keep track of all changes with a list of notes or information, streamlining the entire model development and analysis process. This documentation creates a customizable knowledge base that can be organized and searched intensively by project, subject, date, reference, individual modeler, specific data changes, and more. Such enhanced knowledge management enables more effective process control, project status reporting, auditing, scheduling, planning, and team management.

Extended Fireflow Simulation
An automated Dynamic Fire Flow Manager conducts accurate batch processing of fire flow computations for all network nodes. The tool considers both magnitude and duration of the fire for various customer categories in an extended period simulation (EPS) mode, then reports any system deficiencies at record-breaking speed.

Multiple Overlap Report/Graph Windows
Multiple Report/Graph Windows lets users view/display reports and graphs for any network element (pipe, pump, tank, reservoir, valve) in your projects. It is helpful to grasp the spatial information of model results easily.

Demand Allocator Fully Supports ArcGIS Definition Queries
Working with huge data sets as part of your model build process is no longer an issue. InfoWater and all associated Suite Modules now fully support ArcGIS Definition Queries. This allows master planners and model builders to quickly use any subset of GIS data with blazing speed in relation to loading and using entire GIS data sets. This is especially important in regards to use of the Demand Allocator. In a typical large system, there may be many thousands and 10's of thousands of meter records (in the largest cases multiple 100's of thousands).

Allocating demands for these huge numbers of meters can be extremely time consuming. Using a simple Definition Query to identify only meters that meet your needs i.e. either commercial, residential, industrial, and others; or only ones that match a geographical areas such as each pressure zone, City A out of a County's worth of meter data, or other geographical data; are a couple instances of where this new capability will save hours, days, or weeks of manipulation of model background data.

Elevation Extraction Toolset
Historically, it has been a time-consuming and laborious process to determine proper elevations for model nodes whether it was for water model nodes or sewer/storm water manhole rim elevations. Processes ranged from USGS Contour maps with a digitizing tablet, scanned in contour maps with “heads-up” digitizing, or simply making gross assumptions - the one thing the processes had in common was that the elevation data gathering was prone to human error due to repetitive and monotonous data entry.

With the advent of MWH Soft's Elevation Extraction Toolset, elevation determination has literally become as easy as pushing a button. No outside tools, add-ons, or extensions are necessary - all elevation extractions are done within ArcView only. Both most common elevation sources are catered for:

• Vector - includes contour lines and spot elevations (points) which are used to interpolate proper elevation information.
  
• Rastor - includes Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), and every format compatible with ESRI Grid. Elevation information is directly read off of the Raster data with precise accuracy.
