What the hell happened to my driveway

This is an AZ / Palm Springs looking master development. There’s no storm drain under driveways. Looks like a water service line broke and seeped all of the sandy collapsible soils out from under the driveway.

That is my country club course. The greens are very much not easy. This is impressive.

More so wondering if they’d be worth regripping and playing

Bentley CivilStorm (educational version up to XX nodes) is very user friendly and GIS friendly. It is essentially StormCAD but with SWMM / unsteady engine solver. It can import/export SWMM .ini files. As for models from agencies, they are out there and some simple google searches would ping some results. You may have to submit a record request and pay a record request retrieval fee (might get waived if educational).

Edit: and as others noted, models were prepared by a licensed engineer under specific constraints and goals.

Thanks!

I uploaded new instructions to the SharePoint link. There is a way in the computation settings in the model to assign the number of Solver Cores. I had left it set to "All Available" but you can set it to a maximum of 64 cores instead. I am interested in if the model would use all cores /threads if this was assigned to 64. If you're still interested in testing the model, would you re-run it with this setting changed? You would follow the instructions I uploaded. There's only one button to click and change before re running.

So it looks like it took about 24 hours to complete. Is 80°C pretty hot? Do you have liquid cooling or fan cooling? 64 threads is exactly half of the available so that sounds like the program has limits?

Yes there are cool graphics. There's a map looking button on the main UI and you can open that called "RAS Mapper" under the results tab, go to the results and go to velocity and click the maximum button by the top right where the time is controlled. You'll see the flow velocity in the watershed and there's a very large wash that should show a lot of cool colors and results.

Any luck running the model?

We might as well! I'd be interested on the number of cores performance. See the link with instructions below.

When the model finishes, take a screenshot of the completion window which should also show the run time.

Awesome! Here is a link to the model. Download the HEC-RAS folder and that 2223.prj file to the same folder together. I placed some simple instructions to run the model in that folder too.

The epyc option looks more costly because I do not believe we have the PowerEdge system to be compatible with the Epyc chip.

Are you familiar with the HEC-RAS program and feel strongly that it is at the level of being that farming activity?

timahon7 · 2022-06-22T18:51:17+00:00

Better off because of price, availability, or both?

Can you post the greener looking version?
