Linking Matlab with SWMM5

Posted by Lionel on February 2, 2012 at 10:44am in MATLAB and Batch SWMM5

Hi,

 

I am currently trying to use Matlab to create a set of random values and inputting these random values into SWMM 5 to vary the different parameters (e.g. decay constant) so I will get a range of results. Has anyone done it before?

 

Thanks!

    Hello everybody!, I have encountered the same issue in the last year, and because of this I have developed an open source solution to replicate the SWMM algorithm in Matlab, Python, and LabVIEW easily. I have called it MatSWMM an it is available at: <https://github.com/water-systems/MatSWMM MATSWMM - Open source toolbox> MatSWMM can be useful to model Real-time control for urban drainage systems, extract simulation results and edit systematically a system that has been created with the SWMM platform. I hope this can be useful to fullfil the requirements of the unpleasant batch simulation problems. Please check it out, and feel free to contact me (<mailto:ga.riano949@uniandes.edu.co ga.riano949@uniandes.edu.co>) if any doubt or suggestion appears.

    Yes, they have done this before - not sure of the details in MatLab but you call swmm5.exe with different input files and sample the text output file (and yes, it has been done before)

    Note: This is how you use the batch file in SWMM 5 to make a Detailed Report
    Step 1: You make a bat file - here is a sample file that uses the swmm5.exe program
    swmm5.exe Example1.inp D:\swmm5.0.021\bob.rpt
    pause
    Step 2: Set up the Report Data in the input file
    [REPORT]
    CONTROLS NO
    NODES ALL
    LINKS ALL
    Step 3: Run the program

    Step 4: Look at the RPT Output file for the node and link
