Create Catchment from Object
Previously we have created catchment objects from surface. Sometimes this may not be exactly what we need.
In this case, we need multiple catchment areas for the catch basins that storm runoff will bypass. The best way to
achieve this is to create our catchment areas and flow path from polylines and/or 3D polylines.

Exercise:

1. ConLlnue worklng ln Lhe CIS0S0_SSA ICk nIGnWA DLSIGN" flle.
2. Lnsure LhaL Lhe Compos|te surface ls dlsplayed uslng 1' and 3' conLours. 1hls surface conLalns Lhe

13. See lmages on Lhe followlng sheeL for reference.

A bit extra:
?ou can change properLles of your lndlvldual caLchmenLs and Lhelr flow paLhs. ?ou may wanL Lo add verLlces,
add and/or deleLe flow paLhs and even change wheLher your flow paLh ls paved or unpaved (along wlLh oLhers).
1. Co Lo Lhe rospecLor and noLlce LhaL Lhe caLchmenL areas you creaLed are llsLed here.
2. Lxpand Lhe caLchmenL you creaLed, selecL llow aLh, 8lghL cllck and selecL LdlL llow SegmenLs"
3. 1he anorama should appear wlLh Lhe llow SegmenLs Lab enabled. ?ou can make any changes here.

Begin our Analysis Project within Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis
It is now time to set up oui SSA pioject foi analysis. Let's finish the impoit piocess anu ieview what was
impoiteu fiom Civil SB.

Exercise:

1. 0nce you launcheu SSA
fiom Civil SB the fiist
menu that pops up will
ask you to cieate oi
open an existing
pioject. Keep the
uefault selecteu anu
click 0K.
2. The next menu that pops up will let you know of youi successful impoit anu also ask you if you
want to save the log file. uo aheau anu save this into youi pioject foluei, you will notice that this is
an inventoiy of what was impoiteu.
S. Close the Log File
4. You shoulu now see just the Plan view tab anu notice that all you uata has been impoiteu along
with a backgiounu image of youi CAB file. We aie now ieauy to inspect anu set up oui options foi
analysis.

Review Project Data within Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis
Now that oui impoit has been completeu let's inspect the piopeities of oui inlets, pipes anu sub-basins..

Exercise:

1. Bouble click on one of the Subbasin symbols (uieen Squaies), the Subbasin uialog box shoulu
appeai. Notice that the Physical piopeities along with the 0utlet noue have all came acioss fiom
Civil SB.
2. Now uouble click on the inlets anu pipes on the plan anu look at theii piopeities aie theie.
S. Nake any aujustments if neeueu.

Adding Additional Information to our Plan
Sometimes we will neeu to auu auuitional subbasins, inlets, junctions oi pipes. Foi this exeicise we will
conveit an outlet to a junction anu auu in a stoiage noue foi oui ponu uesign.

Exercise:

1. Zoom into the aiea wheie the ponu is anu you'll see one outfall enteiing the ponu.
2. Select the outfall, iight-click anu choose
"Conveit to > }unction
S. 0sing the Auu Stoiage Noue icon on the
Elements toolbai, auu a new stoiage noue
somewheie neai the centei of the ponu.
4. In the Storage Nodes uialog box, change
the Stoiage Noue IB to "Ponu 1", anu entei the following elevation values (fiom the ponu suiface oi
the stage stoiage table) in the Physical Piopeities aiea:
- Inveit Elevation = 4S89.uu
- Naximum Elev = 4S9S.uu
S. Change the Stoiage Shape Type to "Stoiage Cuive", anu piess the ellipses the Stoiage Cuive pull-
uown to open the Stoiage Cuives uialog box.
6. In the Stoiage Cuives uialog box, piess the Auu button in the top iight to cieate a new cuive. Name
the new cuive "Ponu 1 Cuive" next to Cuive IB in the top left.
7. 0sing a Stoiage Bata Type set to Bepth vs. Aiea, entei the following values fiom oui Civil SB Stage
Stoiage Tool iesults oi loau
Ponu1.uat that you saveu eailiei.

8. Select Close to close the Stoiage Cuives uialog box anu then Close to close the Stoiage Noues
uialog box.
9. Connect the conveiteu junction to the Stoiage Noue using the Auu Conveyance Link tool. Biaw a
link fiom the }unction to the new Stoiage Noue.
1u. This last link is ieally in the ponu alieauy, so you can mouel it as a "Biiect" link. Bouble-click on
the new link using the select tool; anu in the Conveyance Links uialog box, choose the "Biiect"
shape, anu choose 'Close' to close the uialog box.
