Release Notes
v5.3.1
GeoSWMM Version 5.3.1
November 05, 2025
GeoSWMM for ArcGIS Pro, version 5.3.1, was officially released on November 05, 2025. This update includes key bug fixes and performance enhancements that improve stability, usability, and overall hydrologic-hydraulic modeling efficiency within the ArcGIS Pro environment. This maintenance release ensures a smoother, faster, and more reliable experience for both engineers and GIS professionals.
Resolved Issues:
Issue | Description |
|---|---|
Results table time display update | Addressed a rare display issue in the Time column of result tables where seconds occasionally appeared as decimal values instead of the standard H:M:S format. |
Default values not updating for Weirs2D and Orifices2D | Resolved an occasional problem where default values for Weirs2D and Orifices2D did not refresh automatically after establishing a successful 1D–2D connection during model setup. |
False error message while importing .inp files | Corrected an issue that generated false error messages during .inp file import, even though the file was successfully processed and the GeoSWMM project created properly. |
Error when setting custom coordinate system | Improved stability when assigning a user-defined projection or coordinate system that differs from the ArcGIS Pro map coordinate system. |
Error during importing boundary layer for 2D model | Resolved an issue where attribute fields were not displayed correctly when importing a boundary polygon layer for a 2D model. The attribute table display has been fully corrected in this version. |
Default 1D feature settings after enabling 2D model | Updated the workflow to ensure that default configurations for 1D features are correctly applied when converting a 1D model to a 2D model. |
Missing Unique IDs for Weirs2D and Orifices2D | Ensured that unique IDs are consistently assigned to Weirs2D and Orifices2D after establishing 1D–2D connections. |
Improved workflow for generating SFP | Enhanced the Surface Flow Path (SFP) workflow to prevent errors that could occur in certain cases during generation, ensuring accurate and reliable path creation. |
Improved workflow for delineating headwatershed | Refined the delineation process to automatically correct cases where some headwater areas were previously generated too small and required multiple iterations with snap distance adjustments. |
Improved workflow during watershed delineation | Enhanced the watershed delineation process to maintain functionality after GIS edits—such as deleting or splitting delineated streams—ensuring smooth operation during subsequent delineations. |
Enhanced system performance and stability | Optimized overall performance when input data extends beyond the study watershed boundary (for example, when using large DEMs for slope calculations). This enhancement improves efficiency, reduces processing time, and increases stability during intensive computational tasks. |
Resolved user interface issues | Improved several user interface elements, including clearer tool header titles and enhanced information display within object properties windows. |
