When performing a surge analysis in InfoSurge Pro, you can customize the output data in several ways.

00:10

In this example, you create a surge head profile for multiple nodes in a water distribution system.

00:16

To begin, double-click the desired project .aprx file to open ArcGIS Pro.

00:22

Once the project starts, click the InfoWater Pro tab to open the InfoWater Pro ribbon.

00:28

In the Project panel, click Initialize.

00:31

From the Model Explorer, click Run Manager to open the Run Manager dialog.

00:36

You can also open this dialog from the InfoWater Pro ribbon, Analysis panel.

00:41

In the Run Manager dialog, Surge tab, click Run to perform a surge analysis.

00:47

Once it completes, click OK to close the dialog.

00:52

From the ribbon, View panel, click Report Manager to open the Report Manager dialog.

00:58

In the Report Manager dialog, click New.

01:02

Then, in the Output Report/Graph dialog, make sure *Active*:Surge is selected as the output source.

01:08

From the Graph Report tab, select Surge Node Group Graph, and in the Data Scope group box, enable Selected Element(s) <.

01:16

Click Open.

01:18

You are prompted to select the desired junctions.

01:21

In the map, click and drag to select Junctions 11 and 32.

01:25

The junctions turn color to indicate that they are selected.

01:29

Right-click in the map and select Enter to complete the selection.

01:33

In the graph that appears, Junction 11 is represented by the blue line, and Junction 32 by the green line.

01:40

Compare the two pressure profiles to better understand how the surge wave propagation impacted the model in those areas.

Step-by-step guide

When performing a surge analysis in InfoSurge Pro, the output data can be customized in several ways. This example creates a surge head profile for multiple nodes in a water distribution system.

  1. Double-click the desired project .aprx file to open ArcGIS Pro.
  2. Click the InfoWater Pro tab to open the InfoWater Pro ribbon.
  3. In the Project panel, click Initialize.
  4. From the Model Explorer, click Run Manager.
  5. In the Run Manager dialog box, switch to the Surge tab.
  6. Click Run to perform a surge analysis.

In the Model Explorer, the Run Manager button highlighted in red, and in the Run Manager, the Run button and Surge tab highlighted in red.

  1. Once it completes, click OK to close the dialog box.
  2. From the ribbon, View panel, click Report Manager.
  3. In the Report Manager dialog box, click New.
  4. In the Output Report/Graph dialog box, under Available Output Sources, make sure *Active*:Surge is selected.
  5. From the Graph Report tab, select Surge Node Group Graph.
  6. In the Data Scope group box, enable Selected Element(s) <.
  7. Click Open.

The Output Report/Graph dialog box, with settings for this example configured and highlighted in red.

Select the desired junctions:

  1. In the map, click and drag to select junctions 11 and 32.

The junctions turn color to indicate that they are selected.

The map view, with junctions 11 and 32 highlighted in red.

  1. Right-click in the map and select Enter to complete the selection.

In the graph that appears, junction 11 is represented by a blue line, and junction 32 by a green line.

A Report Manager graph displays pressure profiles for junctions 11 and 32, represented by blue and green lines, respectively.

  1. Compare the two pressure profiles to better understand how the surge wave propagation impacted the model in those areas.
