When creating alternatives based on future conditions (i.e., incorporating
all components that are due for construction by 2011), we are finding that
it is necessary to re-point inflow controls.
We are requesting that a new feature be added, similar to how DSCs and
surface subcatchments (SSCs) are re-pointed, that allows us to re-direct
inflow controls to newly created componentry.
For example, if a new 500' pipe is to be installed along a street, we would
create the alt_link and alt_nodes corresponding to that new asset. We
would then re-point any DSCs and SSCs to the newly created alt_node. If
ICs exist along that portion of street, we would also want to re-point
those to the new nodes.
This requires the following:
1. change the NG2 of any IC based on the alt_node node Id.
2. replace the first six characters of the IC's XPSWMM_Name with the
alt_node node Id.
3. change the BuildModelIC field to TRUE for any re-directed IC.
4. have this persist to the alternative model directory when the
alternative is applied in the Alts Toolkit and deployed through EMGAATS.
Currently, this requires manual operations. Since we are wanting to more
consistently model for near-future/existing conditions, we fell this would
be a valuable tool for managing the ICAlts within the Alts Toolkit
Framework.
