INP-File

For the description of the drainage system a regular SWMM5 input file is required. The current version implemented in BlueM.MPC is SWMM 5.0.018. The following standards have to be followed in order to use SWMM5 for BlueM.MPC simulations:

• The last line in the [OPTIONS] sections demands the length of the control step in minutes.
• Time dependent controls of the actuators are induced by control rules. The section [CONTROLS] is therefore compulsory. For every control step within the control horizon a control rule is required. Every rule must begin with the line IF SIMULATION TIME > as shown in the example below.
