The Path of Data from WMS to HY8 in the HY8 Modeling Wizard

The HY8 Modeling Wizard in WMS gathers data to setup an HY8 model. Some data can be changed at multiple locations. This data is categorized as follows: Discharge Data, Tailwater Data, Roadway Data, Culvert Data, and Site Data. These categories can be seen in the HY-8 interface.

Discharge Data

This information is pulled from the HY-8 Wizard on step Crossing Discharge Data. HY8ModelingWizardCrossingDischargeData.png. If the user specifies the flow source as 'Design Flow', the minimum flow value will be zero and the design and maximum flow value will be the value entered by the user. If the user specifies the flow source as 'Hydrograph', the minimum flow in the hydrograph will be the minimum flow value in HY-8, while the maximum flow in the hydrograph will be both the design and maximum flow value in HY-8. Finally, if the user specifies 'Design Flow & Hydrograph' as the flow source, WMS will use the minimum and maximum flow values from the hydrograph and allow the user to enter the design value.

Tailwater Data

The information for the tailwater is kept with the tailwater arc

Roadway Data

Culvert Data

Site Data
