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>
