Hello everyone,

I realize that this particular thing has probably been discussed more than enough, I browsed through forum aswell as tried to google it.. found some infromation about it but none of the suggested things worked for me.

Basically I'm working on my diploma thesis , finally managed to input entire sewer system into SWMM 5, also put in time serie but when I run the simulation it gives me this error..

ERROR 173 : Time Series DAZD has its data out of sequence. at MAR-01-2014 00:10:00.

data in my time series go like this (at least the first few which are obviously a trouble):

00:00    160.7

00:8.3    160.7

00:9.1    155.3

00:10.1    150.3

00:10.8    145.7

00:11.6    141.3

then it simply decreases , my entire time series is 45.7 minutes long.

Start Analysis is set on 03/01/2014 00:00

Start Reporting is set on 03/01/2014 00:00 (basicaly the same time)

End Analysis is set on 03/01/2014 01:00.

If it helps,

Reporting is set on 0 days , 00:01:00 hr/min/sec

Routing is 30 seconds.

Since this is the last thing that keeps me from finishing my diploma thesis (already ran calculation through another software , just wanted to do it with this one aswell and make comparison) I'd really appreciate if someone was able to help.

Thank you.

  • Works now , I've missinterpreted Rain Gage Time interval :)

    I've just started using this program (that was actually the part of diploma thesis to LEARN it.. ) and that's where it went wrong.

    Anyway thank you for help :)

  • Hmm I've changed some things around and now my complete set up looks like this :

    3293144953?profile=original

    3293146421?profile=original3293145040?profile=original3293142459?profile=original3293145898?profile=original

    And this is the error I get now :

    3293145014?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

    Kinda losing hope around here..

  • Well I've played with times around a bit now, put in values w/o decimals and now it says error 159 : recording interval greater than time series interval for Rain Gage D1

    (I've checked, they are the same actually)

    • As you state, using decimal hours will work, however you were using 24 as the rainfall interval which is in hours.  Looking at your original data you have a mixture of intervals, you might have to use @round in excel to make these values at half minute intervals.  I just ran it with a 30 second time rainfall interval.

      • thank you I`ll try that

  • If you send me the model to robert.dickinson@gmail.com it should be easy to find.  Looking the table it seems to have a mixture of decimal hours and real minutes which might be an issue.

    • Thank you alot.. I've just sent the mail.

      As for the decimals , I'll try it w/o decimal and post results wether it was the problem or not.
