SWMM5_EA 0.9.3.2

SWMM5-EA

SWMM5 EA by Assela Pathirana

SWMM5 EA is a simple application to demonstrate how genetic algorithms can be used to solve optimization problems in the field of urban drainage. Typical problems it can solve include: Find the optimal pipe/channel sizes for a drainage network to handle a flow of a given magnitude. Sizing of SuDS systems for the same purpose. Cost-benefit optimization of interventions.

Dependancies

SWMM5 EA has been tested only on python 2.7 (2.7.3). I noticed that python 2.7.2 multiprocessing module has a bug. If you use 2.7.2, either upgrade to 2.7.3 or use the program with num_cpus (Number of CPUs in the Graphical interface) set to 1. SWMM5 EA has following dependancies.

• guidata>=1.5.1

• guiqwt>=2.2.1

• inspyred>=1.0

• numpy>=1.6.2

• PyQT>=4.8.1

• yaml>=3.10

• sip>=4.11.2

• swmm5>=0.3

• diff_match_patch>=20121119

Installation:

The package can be installed in variety of ways. :On Linux:

1. Source distribution: SWMM5_EA-X.Y.Z.K.zip – can be installed to the python tree with ‘python setup.py install’

2. Sources: SWMM5_EA-X.Y.Z.K.tar.gz – includes the whole development material in addition to the distribution

3. or chcekout the project (same as b, but could be the latest version.) hg clone https://code.google.com/p/swmm5-ea/ (need Mercurial)

On Windows:

1. Install as a stand-alone software: Use the installer SWMM5_EA-X.Y.Z.K.exe (available from https://code.google.com/p/swmm5-ea/ ) – This is the recommended method if you just want to use the software.

2. Install as a python package: Use SWMM5_EA-X.Y.Z.K.win32.exe

3. Source distribution: SWMM5_EA-X.Y.Z.K.zip – can be installed to the python tree with ‘python setup.py install’

4. Sources: SWMM5_EA-X.Y.Z.K.tar.gz – includes the whole development material in addition to the distribution

5. or chcekout the project (same as d, but could be the latest version.) hg clone https://code.google.com/p/swmm5-ea/ (need Mercurial)

Usage:

If you installed swmm5ea as a stand-alone program (windows) use the start menu. If installed as a python package you can:

1. Double click on swmm_ea_controller.py (in Python27Libsite-packagesswmm5ea directory for windows)

2. Use within python as follows:

>>> from swmm5ea import swmm_ea_controller
>>> sc=swmm_ea_controller.swmmeacontroller()
>>> sc.show()
