The EdiSic interface operates in three successive modes:

• Editing Geometry
• Editing hydraulic data
• Visualization of results

Navigation between these different modes is facilitated by the window "Project Explorer".

Editing Geometry

In this mode, the user can :

• import a .TAL file of older versions of SIC,
• modify a network
• or enter a new network.

Entering the network allows to define:

• The reaches and their connecting nodes
• The sections in the reaches
• Among these sections, the singular sections that will host the cross structures in the hydraulic mode
• The profiles of all sections (With definitions of minor / medium and major beds)

Before moving to hydraulic mode, the application will propose:

• to check the completeness and consistency of the network entered - and launch the mesh network (TALWEG).

Editing hydraulic data

EdiSic allows to enter several hydraulic scenarios for one geometry.

In this mode, the user will define the following data:

• Features of the offtakes in the nodes (Devices, and boundary conditions)
• Features of cross structures located on the singular sections.
• Roughness coefficients (Manning) in the reaches for minor and medium beds
• Infiltrations
• Regulation Modules
• Simulation parameters (including the definition of the results which should saved during the simulation for later viewing)

After verifying the completeness and consistency of data entered, the interface allows the launch of a hydraulic simulation in steady flow (FLUVIA).

If the simulation was successful, it is then possible to import water line obtained in steady flow in a new scenario to start a hydraulic unsteady flow simulation (SIRENE).

View results

As its name implies, this mode allows you to view the results generated by a hydraulic simulation in steady flow or unsteady flow. Results are represented as data tables and graphs.
