EPANET Import wizard

The EPANET Import wizard is used to import EPANET networks into InfoWorks WS Pro.

To open the wizard, right-click the model group (in the Explorer window or Model Group window) and choose Import Model from EPANET v2 Files from the context menu.

Models created in older versions of EPANET can be imported, but it is strongly recommended that they are converted to EPANET Version 2. To convert old models, load them into EPANET 2, then export the network.

Further information can be found in the following topics:

• Importing EPANET data - an introduction to the import process
• EPANET conversion notes - discusses the issues involved in the import and what further actions may be needed to complete the imported InfoWorks WS Pro model.

The EPANET Import wizard includes the following pages:

• Select input files page - used to select EPANET Input (.INP) files for import. Use the Browse button to search for the files, or type the full path and filenames into the box.
  Enter the full path/file name per line (one per line).

  Note: When you input multiple files, the first line on the list will be the base scenario, and the subsequent files will be the other scenarios.
• MSX file page - used to select an MSX file to be imported into the model's control object. This will import source profiles for nodes or reservoirs, to be used in MSQ runs.
• Choose names page - used to choose names for the imported network, control set, and demand diagram/other groups. The suggested names are based on the input file name.
• Import finished page - displays feedback on the completed import process. Use this information, along with the EPANET conversion notes, to complete the new InfoWorks WS Pro network, control set, and demand diagram.
