Line 2:
This tool converts one or more ESTRY layers into a SWMM project (inp) file. It also creates a GeoPackage representation of the SWMM input data with the same name but with a .gpkg extension and an inlet usage filename that can be used with TUFLOW-SWMM models. <br>
 
This tool is intended to make it easier to convert ESTRY models for use with SWMM. Some of the conversions may not be the optimal representation for SWMM. It is the responsibility of the modeler to check the final model and ensure that it is correct. Hydraulic structures, in particular, should be reviewed. Pump operations are not converted and must be setupset up manually. Weirs have a variety of options in both platforms, and the automatic conversion may not be the most appropriate SWMM representation. No effort is made to convert TUFLOW operational structures to SWMM controls, which must be done manually.<br>
 
Inlets are always specified as using the Sag option because this is how inlets are used with ESTRY. It may be appropriate to modify SWMM inlets to use the Grade option. This requires the user to provide additional information such as street cross-section and longitudinal slopes.<br>
Line 31:
<li>'''ESTRY Table Link Layers [optional]:''' Table link layers to be converted and included in the SWMM inp file.
<li>'''ESTRY Pit Inlet Database [optional]:''' This is required to convert the pit (inlet) curves for use with SWMM.
<li>'''Reference cell size for inlet connections:''' The 1D/2D linking for SWMM is always based uponon a width, while ESTRY can specify (using a negative number) an exact number of cells to use when linking. The reference cell size is used to convert the fixed number of linked cells from ESTRY to SWMM.
<li>'''Network snap tolerance:''' This is the distance to search for nodes snapped to the endpoint of channels.
<li>'''Output CRS:''' The CRS used in the GeoPackage representation of the SWMM inp file.
<li>'''Create options, and report tables:''' Whether or not the options and report tables should be generated. This should be 'yes' for standalone models. 'No' can be used to generate files used for scenarios where these tables are provided in a separate file.
<li>'''Options table report step (hh:mm:ss):''' The SWMM report step to use if writing the options table.
<li>'''Options table minimum surface area:''' This parameter can help stabilize a model.
