ICM SWMM vs. SWMM5
ICM SWMM directly uses the EPA SWMM5 engine, making it functionally equivalent to SWMM5 in terms of calculations and performance[2][5]. It simply provides the SWMM5 engine within the ICM interface and database structure.
ICM InfoWorks Advantages
**Hydraulic Engine Differences**
- ICM InfoWorks uses a 4-point implicit link solution with at least 5 computational points in a link, while SWMM5 uses a link/node solution[1]
- ICM InfoWorks maintains a small base flow in all links, while SWMM5 can simulate truly dry links and nodes[1]
- ICM InfoWorks uses time step halving for non-convergence, which SWMM5 does not employ [1].
Additional Features in ICM InfoWorks
- Version history tracking
- Data flagging capabilities
- Multi-user application support
- Cloud data storage[3]
Model Compatibility
ICM provides comprehensive import/export options:
- Direct import of SWMM5 and InfoSWMM models
- Ability to export to EPA SWMM format
- Enhanced Esri data interoperability [3]
The key point is that ICM offers two distinct simulation engines - the native ICM InfoWorks engine and the integrated SWMM5 engine—allowing users to choose based on their specific needs and requirements[5].
