| − | XPSWMM is a flood and urban stormwater drainage modeling software developed by Autodesk (previously Innovyze and XP Solutions). The XPSWMM solution uses EPA SWMM for its 1D calculations, dynamically linked to TUFLOW for its 2D calculations. The software functions within a custom build Graphical User interface (GUI). During simulation, XPSWMM calls a TUFLOW dynamic library for the 2D calculations. As XPSWMM uses TUFLOW for its 2D engine, XPSWMM and TUFLOW use the same 2D solution and will achieve identical results if configured in a like-for-like way. | + | XPSWMM is a flood and urban stormwater drainage modeling software developed by Autodesk (previously Innovyze and XP Solutions). The XPSWMM solution uses EPA SWMM for its 1D calculations, dynamically linked to TUFLOW for its 2D calculations. The software functions within a custom build Graphical User Interface (GUI). Unknown to many XPSWMM modelers, during simulation, XPSWMM processes its inputs into TUFLOW files and also calls TUFLOW for the 2D calculations. As XPSWMM uses TUFLOW for its 2D engine, like-for-like results can be achieved using this software. TUFLOW is the natural replacement for XPSWMM for people who are looking for an alternative solution following Autodesk's recent XPSWMM pricing, licensing, and support changes. |

| − | Common user feedback suggests the XPSWMM GUI is useful for simple modeling projects; however, it can become cumbersome and inefficient in workflow when dealing with larger datasets and/or a large volume of different scenario and event simulations. In response to requests from USA XPSWMM users who want to convert XPSWMM models into a native TUFLOW format, TUFLOW linkage with 1D EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was added as a supported feature in TUFLOW 2023-03-AD release. The modeling workflow in TUFLOW differs from XPSWMM, as TUFLOW modeling is integrated with QGIS (Geographical Information System) GIS software. This GIS integration is well-suited for working with larger datasets. Additionally, the structural design associated with TUFLOW modeling makes its general workflow extremely efficient, particularly for the automated management of multiple scenarios and events.

| − | <br> | + | <li> <u>[[XPSWMM_Conversion_Reconfigure_SWMM_Junctions | Update SWMM Junction Data]]</u> |
| − | <li> From the XPSWMM top dropmenu, select File > Import/Export Data > Export to EPASWMM5. The exported INP file will be saved under the same name and in the same folder location as the .xp project file. | + | <li> <u>[[XPSWMM_Conversion_Export_SWMM_INP | Export Updated SWMM INP Files]]</u> |
| − | <li> When prompted to save changes, select 'Yes'. | |
| − | <li> In Windows File Explorer, navigate to the folder containing the .xp project file and rename the exported INP file by adding 'HDR' to the file name. For example, '''1D2D_Urban_001.inp''' > '''1D2D_Urban_HDR_001.inp'''. | |
| − | <li> Copy the renamed INP file into the '''TUFLOW\model\swmm''' folder. From this folder, drag and drop the .inp file into QGIS. This will open the '<u>[[QGIS_SWMM_GeoPackage_Create_from_SWMM_inp |GeoPackage - Create from SWMM inp ]]</u>' tool from the QGIS Processing Toolbox.
| |
| − | :* SWMM Input File (inp): Pre-populated
| |
| − | :* CRS for GeoPackage: Select and appropriate Coordinate Reference System (CRS) for the model.
| |
| − | :* GeoPackage output filename: Prepopulated to save the output GeoPackage file under the same name and in the same folder location as the SWMM input file.
| |
| − | <li> Click 'Run'. Once the tool is finished, click 'Close'. | |
| − | <li> A dialog will appear. Select 'Add Layers' to open all vectors within the newly created SWMM GeoPackage file. By default, all items in the available list should have been selected. | |
| − | <li> In the QGIS Layers panel, move the SWMM GeoPackage file to the top of the list. This will ensure the data within this database file is displayed above all other layers in the project. | |
| − | <li> Inspect the attributes associated with the various objects in the GeoPackage to familiarize yourself with the data. | |

| − | The process above has created a '''Nodes--Junctions''' layer, containing all the model nodes. In the <u>[[#Convert_XPSWMM_Model_to_Recommended_TUFLOW_Structure | Convert XPSWMM Model to Recommended TUFLOW Structure]]</u> section, an improperly formatted layer of the same nodes was generated from XPSWMM. To prevent future errors, this layer should be removed from the QGIS workspace and deleted from its GeoPackage. | + | = TUFLOW Control Files Updates = |
| − | <ol>
| + | The linking between 2D TUFLOW and 1D SWMM is established within the TUFLOW control files. The following sections (linked below) outline the basic commands needed to complete the linking process and execute the model. These tasks require the use of a text editor. The tutorial demonstration uses Notepad++. For configuration information, refer to <u>[[NotepadPlusPlus_Tips | Notepad++ Tips]]</u>. For a clean and organized model, it is recommended to name all the TUFLOW control files similarly. For example, '''1D2D_Urban_001.tscf''', '''1D2D_Urban_001.tbc''', '''1D2D_Urban_001.tgc''', and '''1D2D_Urban_5m_001.tcf'''. <br> |

| + | ''Note: For this demonstration, all commands will reference the datasets in the provided conversion model. Please update these references with the filenames used in your model if you are using these steps as a guide to convert your own XPSWMM model to TUFLOW.<br>'' |
| − | XPSWMM used a modified version of the EPA SWMM engine. Unlike traditional EPA SWMM networks that require '''Nodes--Junctions''' at the upstream end of culverts and '''Nodes--Outfalls''' at the outlets, XPSWMM uses '''Nodes--Junctions''' in all locations. TUFLOW's implementation of SWMM has retained the traditional EPA SWMM structure. Due to this fundamental difference in approach, some manipulation of the XPSWMM '''Nodes--Junctions''' information is necessary.

| − | ===Edit 1D/2D Culvert Connections===
| |
| − | In addition to the pipe network inlet usage 1D/2D connections, we also need to connect the 1D culvert inlet/outlets to the 2D. These features are typically associated with culverts located under raised roads or rail embankments, outlets from pipe networks into creeks, streams, or rivers, or open pipe network inlets and outlets linked to major stormwater drainage infrastructure, which often involves the modification of historically above-ground streamflows to an underground stormwater network. An example is shown in the image below.<br>

| − | <br>
| |
| − | [[File: XPSWMM_Culvert_Inlet.JPG | 500px]]<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | In order to connect a 1D SWMM culvert to TUFLOW 2D, TUFLOW SWMM necessitates 1D/2D HX connection lines at the upstream (inlet) end of the culvert and 1D/2D SX connection lines at the downstream (outlet) end. This model schematization differs from that of the TUFLOW ESTRY and XPSWMM, which require 1D/2D SX connections both upstream and downstream, but aligns with the traditional requirements of EPA SWMM.

| − | In the <u>[[#Convert_XPSWMM_Model_to_Recommended_TUFLOW_Structure | Convert XPSWMM Model to Recommended TUFLOW Structure]]</u> section, the XPSWMM 1D/2D connections were converted into TUFLOW format. However, since we have included and edited the SWMM data (HDR, inlet curves, and inlet usage GeoPackages), this connections layer needs to be updated. We need to change the upstream SX connections to HX connections, create new upstream CN lines, and ensure that the connections are snapped to the pipe network.

| |
| − | <li> In QGIS, from the top dropdown menu options, select View > Panels. Tick on 'Browser Panel'.
| |
| − | <li> In the QGIS Browser Panel, navigate to the '''TUFLOW\model\swmm''' folder and open the RNF GeoPackage layer tree.
| |
| − | :'''Note:''' Within the QGIS Browser Panel, there is a dropdown directory, 'Project Home'. This directory is a shortcut to the location where the QGIS workspace is saved.
| |
| − | <li> Right click '''Nodes--Junctions''' and select Manage > Delete Layer.
| |
| − | <li> In Windows File Explorer, navigate to the '''TUFLOW\model\swmm''' folder. Drag and drop the RNF GeoPackage into QGIS.
| |
| − | <li> In the QGIS Layers panel, move the RNF GeoPackage below the other GeoPackages in the list. This will ensure the data within this database file does not cover the other layers in the project. <br>
| |
| − | '''Note:''' For hydrology, TUFLOW has more advanced, workflow efficient 'Event Scenario Management' options than XPSMM. If your project requires the simulation of multiple hydrology events, please complete <u>[[TUFLOW_SWMM_Tutorial_M04 | TUFLOW SWMM Module 4]]</u> and use the model design concepts in it to upgrade the configuration of your TUFLOW model to accommodate for the simulation of multiple events from a single model.

| − | ===Update SWMM Nodes--Junction Attributes===
| |
| − | The following GIS feature update to the '''Nodes--Junctions''' attributes will finalize the SWMM portion of the TUFLOW model. This is typically the final step in the model building process, as the recommended attributes for junction node vary depending on whether the node is associated with inlet usage connections, 1D/2D culvert connections and SWMM hydrology sub-catchments.

| |
| − | <ol>
| |
| − | <li> In the QGIS Layers panel, select (left click) '''Nodes--Junctions''' and toggle on editing.
| |
| − | <li> In the Processing Toolbox, select the 'Edit Features In-Place' tool. This allows the editing of an existing layer, instead of the creation of a new layer.
| |
| − | <li> Go to TUFLOW >> SWMM in the processing tool list and select the '<u>[[QGIS_SWMM_Junctions_Set_Attributes |Junctions - Set attributes ]]</u>' processing tool. This opens the dialog shown below.
| |
| − | :* Input Subcatchment layers: If available, select '''Hydrology--Subcatchments'''.
| |
| − | :* Input Inlet Usage Layers: If available, select the inlet usage layer (i.e. '''swmm_iu_XP_001''')
| |
| − | :* Input BC Connection Layers: If available, select the 2d_bc connection layer (i.e. '''1D2D_Urban_001_2d_bc_L''').
| |
| − | :* General Options:
| |
| − | :::* Maximum Depth Option (Ymax): 'Set to 0.0'.
| |
| − | :::* Nodes receiving subcatchment flows option (if connected to 2D): 'Set Apond = 0.0; Ksur = 0.0 (overwrites options below)'.
| |
| − | :* Nodes connected to 2D without Inlets:
| |
| − | :::* Ysur: 0
| |
| − | :::* Area of ponding: This value should match the 2D cell area associated with 1D/2D culvert connections.

| |
| − | :::* Maximum depth (Ymax) option: 'Use global option'
| |
| − | :::* Ysur: 0
| |
| − | :::* Area of ponding: This value should match the 2D cell area associated with the Inlet Usage connections.
| |
| − | :* Nodes without 2D Connection:

| − | ===Export INP Files===
| |
| − | SWMM cannot directly read GeoPackage databases. Therefore, we need to convert all three GeoPackage files (HDR, RNF and inlet curves) into the SWMM INP file format. Both the HDR and RNF GeoPackages contain a '''Project--Options''' section, which are identical as they were extracted from the same XPSWMM model. These options are necessary for executing the SWMM simulation. Since '''Project--Options''' is already included in the HDR and RNF, it is not needed in the inlet curves INP file. <br>
| |
| − | '''Note:''' The inlet usage GeoPackage does not need to be converted to a SWMM inp file. Since it contains only one layer, it can be directly read into TUFLOW SWMM.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <ol>
| |
| − | <li> In QGIS, go to TUFLOW >> SWMM in the processing tool list and select '<u>[[QGIS_SWMM_GeoPackage_Write_to_SWMM_inp |GeoPackage - Write to SWMM inp]]</u>'.
| |
| − | <li> In the tool window, click the '...' and navigate to the '''TUFLOW\model\swmm''' folder. Select the HDR GeoPackage file.
| |
| − | <li> Click 'Run'.
| |
| − | <li> Once the tool has finished, click the 'Parameters' tab.
| |
| − | <li> Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the RNF and inlet curves GeoPackages.
| |
| − | <li> Once the tool has finished, click 'Close'.
| |
| − | <li> The three SWMM INP files will be located in the '''TUFLOW\model\swmm''' folder, with each file sharing the same filename as their respective GeoPackages. For example, '''1D2D_Urban_HDR_001.gpkg''' > '''1D2D_Urban_HDR_001.inp'''.

| |
| − | :* Bed / ground elevations; and
| |
| − | :* Bed material type or flow resistance value.

During this process, the tool updates the commands within the TUFLOW control files to align with the requirements of a TUFLOW SWMM model. However, since the original control files were intended for use with XPSWMM, they lack the commands required to execute a TUFLOW simulation. Additionally, these files often contain unnecessary and/or outdated commands.<br>
| |

| − | === Optional: Format TUFLOW Control Files ===
| |
| − | In the sections above, we removed unnecessary commands from the TUFLOW control files and introduced additional commands to ensure the TUFLOW SWMM model runs smoothly. In this section, we will format and organize the TUFLOW control files to enhance readability, thereby improving the overall functionality of the model. This can be done by:
| |
| − | :* Using relative file paths to specify the location of various files and layers in the model.
| |
| − | :* Including a title at the beginning of each control file. For example, <font color="green"><tt>! TUFLOW CONTROL FILE (.TCF) defines the model simulation parameters and directs input from other data sources</tt></font>.
| |
| − | :* Adding headings to sections of the control file. For example, <font color="green"><tt>! MODEL INITIALIZATION</tt></font> could be used as a header for the commands required to initialize the TUFLOW SWMM model.
| |
| − | :* Utilizing comments to explain the purpose of commands. For example, <font color="blue"><tt>Spatial Database </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>== </tt></font> <font color="black"><tt> ..\model\gis\1D2D_Urban_001.gpkg </tt></font> <font color="green"><tt> ! Specify the location of the GeoPackage Spatial Database</tt></font>.<br>
