InfoWorks ICM is both a geospatial user interface and a hydraulic simulation engine. You work in the geospatial user interface to build models. The simulation engine uses complex hydraulic calculations to generate simulation outputs.

1D model simulations use the St. Venant equations, which govern the conservation of mass and momentum. The conveyance function is based on either the Colebrook-White or Manning expressions.
