Model input and display of results in the Albion environment

The built-in Albion module of HydroSWMM represents a major extension to the capabilities of the program. It offers a CAD-like environment in which the system can be graphically entered or edited, against a background of e.g. the cadastral layout of the township, or a bitmap image of an aerial photograph. It also provides powerful functions for selectively editing large portions of the system, or for querying the system, thereby rendering it almost a “mini GIS”.

This chapter covers the following Albion interactions:

•Drawing cables

•Building system topology

•Applying model tools on the system

•Displaying the system

•Editing links and nodes

•System selection

•Searching the system

•Performing special operations on the system, such as:

oassignment and conversion of model projections

oWGS system conversion

oexporting the system to GIS

oimporting a model from GIS
