Multiple Events 1

[beej67]

Maybe I'm just missing it, but is there a way to rig HydroCAD to run multiple events at the same time? There's the "events" tab on the hydrograph popup that seems to indicate that you could have a list of events there, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to run more than on at once.

The answer is probably obvious, and so I apologize in advance for missing it.

Events are defined on the Rainfall tab of the calculation settings screen. See the "Events" box at the bottom of the page. Click Help for details. More info is available at

No, I get that. I probably didn't phrase my question clearly.

Say I've got a model that has a 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 year storm defined in the rainfall tab on the calculations page. I can then choose which event to look at with the drop down box on the button bar, and switch between events easily. That's great. Now I doubleclick a pond and its inflow/outflow hydrograph is displayed on a pop up window, with some tab options such as "summary," "hydrograph," etc. On the "events" tab, it lists the following fields:

Event Inflow Primary Elevation Storage


...in a table. And it's conveniently formatted as if you could display multiple events in that table if you'd set the right setting up to run multiple events at the same time. Right?

Where's that setting? It'd save me a lot of time not having to hunt and peck data out of the model one storm at a time. All I ever get is one storm listed in the table.

Thanks in advance. Love the software.

On the "Events" tab you referred to, click the "Update" button to generate the full multi-event report for that node report.

You can also export detailed multi-event spreadsheets for the entire project. You'll find these options on the Settings|Export screen.
