  • Deciding between steady state and extended period simulations in InfoWorks ICM

    It is not uncommon for numerical hydraulic models to inform the scale and size of built infrastructure. After all, one of the clear benefits of creating a model is the ability to experiment and test out your theories about how to optimize a design before you build. Thus, the validity of our built infrastructure ultimately…
