Use and Manage Interface Files
GeoSWMM can contain different kinds of Interface Files that contain either externally imposed inputs (e.g., rainfall or inflow/infiltration hydrographs) or the results of the previously outing analyses (e.g., runoff or routing results). These files can help speed up simulations, simplify comparisons of different loading scenarios, and allow large study areas to be broken up into smaller areas that can be analyzed individually. The interface file editing option has been provided under the Files tab in the Simulation Options setting window as shown in the following Fig. 119. The user may add a new interface file or edit an existing interface file in a dialog box as shown in Fig. 120. The different types of interface files that are currently available in this dialog box include:
1. Rainfall Interface File
2. Runoff Interface File
3. Hot Start File
4. RDII Interface File
5. Routing Interface File.
