This topic lists all the additions and improvements incorporated in InfoWorks® ICM 2025.5 which were not available in previous versions.
Although there are no new features that require a database update to database version 2025.5 in order to access the feature, it is advisable to do so. It makes it easier for you to keep track of the various versions and ensures that any software patches are only applied to the applicable database versions.
Cloud capabilities
This release of InfoWorks ICM builds upon the cloud integration that started in version 2024.0. Learn more here.
Copying cloud simulation results
You can now copy simulations results from a run in a cloud database, whose full results have been downloaded, to a transportable database version 2024.5 or newer. This lets you share the results between cloud and on-premise databases, or with other users, as the results can be copied from the transportable to an on-premise database.
If you copy simulations with either summary or no results downloaded to a 2024.5 or newer transportable, a Copying of Simulation Results from Cloud Database dialog is now displayed. It lists all the simulations without full results downloaded, and provides the option to cancel the operation (so you can download full results) or continue without copying the results for those simulations.
As the format for cloud results files changed for database version 2024.5, cloud simulation results cannot be copied to a transportable with a database version that is earlier than 2024.5. The Copy simulation results box is disabled in the Copying of Simulation Results, Ground Models and Time Series Data dialog when you try to do so.
Risk analysis runs for cloud databases
You can now add Risk analysis run objects to a cloud database. However, risk analysis simulations for a cloud database are only run on-premise on your computer. They do not run in the cloud. The Schedule Job(s) dialog is displayed so that you can select to start the simulations now or at a later time.
Damage functions, Damage receptors and Risk impact zones, which are used in risk analysis runs, are now supported in cloud databases.
Risk analysis runs can only be carried out if the Risk option is enabled on your licence.
Please contact us if you require further information about enabling this option.
NetCDF file formats for Spatial TSD objects
The source projection formats supported for NetCDF files when configuring a Spatial TSD object has been extended. Data on a Latitude Longitude grid with WGS84 datum can be imported when you select the existing NetCDF AUS.BOM option as the Data file format in the Spatial Time Series Data Configuration dialog.
