Sewer Network Model

Carlson sewer network model is a powerfule program for the design and analysis of networks. A storm sewer network is generally made up of pipes, structures and inlets. A sanitary/utility network, unlike a storm sewer, doesn't have inlets. There may be more than one pipe entering a structure, but only one can exit. The network type is specified via the Sewer Network Settings command.

Sewer structure types and inlet types are defined in their libraries. The default library files are stored in the user directory. Some users would like to share library data and put the library files on a central server and can specify the libraries via Sewer Network Settings command. The sewer network file saves sewer structure and sewer inlet parameters in the .sew file so the sewer network data can be run on any computers that haven't the library files. Once load the sewer structure and inlet data, the program would check the default or user-specify library files and add the new data to the library if it's not in the library.
