It has the requisite two tablespoons of cocoa. But the recipe calls for TWO bottles of red food color. I only used one.

It takes a lot of red to turn something black red.

Black chocolate ?

Morning folks. Trying to simplify this stupid watershed analysis in Civil 3D this morning. I have a 4 acre site with 144 subsheds on it.

Why so many?

Because the elevations vary from 4.5' to 6.5' across the whole site. Civil 3D is picking up every little mud puddle.

Black, brown...whatever.

I never use the watershed modeling...its too sensitive and you would have to have a lot of faith in your tin model

so you just do it manually?

 

[Santiagj]

Hmm sounds good Fluvial.

 

[TranspoVA]

Depends on what your doing...if you just want areas...display the contours...make the intervals really tight and spend the day delineating...its boring but probably more accurate. Every time I use the watershed tool I spend the whole day deleting shapes where there are busts in the tin..so we just do it manually plus that allows you to get rid of a lot of sub-areas...that probably arent really sub areas to begin with...like you said mudholes

 

[Fluvial]

Four acres wouldn't take 15 minutes to model manually.

Hmm sounds good Fluvial.

It is, it is. Also the kind of thing you only wanna eat once or twice a year.

 

[TranspoVA]

TR-55 only allows for 10 subareas anyways...

 

[wilheldp_PE]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Can you apply electricity to stormwater?

 

[Fluvial]

You only need one subarea for each drainage struture you have, for something that small, dontcha think? If it's only one at the outfall, I'd be tempted to call it one area. Unless there were a lot of dissimilar types of cover/slope/land use within.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Can you apply electricity to stormwater?

Very carefully.

See, you take an old hand crank telephone, and you get in your fishing boat ...

I'm with you. All I know about stormwater modelling is that its the most difficult task in engineering.

 

[Santiagj]

I think they are talking about water/cement ratio.

 

[TranspoVA]

Agreed...more modeling and subareas doesnt create more accuracy...For a 4 acre site I would model the areas in Rational and TR-55 compare the results...pick the highest flow and move on

I know if flows downhill.

 

[NCcarguy]

dang...did we attempt to turn this into an actual engineering thread? where is the **** discussions?

 

[Dark Knight]

I said that this time I am not contributing to this madness and that is the bottom line. No DK posts in the 5k thread. Is that clear?

Top????

 

[Dexman1349]

pffttt, stormwater isn't hard. water only flows downhill...

that's why I prefer construction management. It's like daycare for contractors...

ps DK, I tried that earlier too.

Not if you're the smartest person in Florida.
