Import InfoWater Data

Import InfoWater networks into InfoWorks WS Pro.

To import a network from EPANET files

2. Select Import InfoWater (XINP) from the context menu.

   This displays the first page of the InfoWater import wizard. This page displays a basic introduction. To access the InfoWorks WS Pro help before beginning the import process, click the Help button or press F1.

3. Complete the import wizard.

   For more information, click the Help button or press F1.

   When the import is complete, the Finished page will be displayed, showing feedback information about the import.

At the end of the import, new items will be added to the database, including:

• a network, with the name selected on the Names page.
• a control data set, with the name selected on the Names page.
• a new demand diagram, called InfoWater Import, in a new demand diagram group with the name selected on the Names page.

After the import is complete

Once the InfoWater data has been imported, you will probably need to do some cleanup and introduce some additional data to complete the imported network.

Feedback from the import process is displayed on the Finished page, the last page of the import wizard. This feedback is saved in the description data for the following imported items:

• network
• control set
• demand diagram

To access this description, right-click on the item (network, control set, or demand diagram) and select Properties from the context menu. Then, go to the Description page of the Properties dialog.
