SIC Versions - English

Professional version and Research and Educational Version

The only difference between the Professional version and the Research and Educational version is the maximum size of the systems that can be modeled. Otherwise all options are available in both versions.

Since most of the calculation programs are in FORTRAN without automatic memory allocation there are still some limitations in the Professional version. But we can extend them as much as you want. We can model any system in the world, from the small scale model of the ENSAM engineering school to the Amazone River in Brazil or the Narmada canal in India. For your information the default limitations are:

Professional version:

*number of branches (in case you have confluences, diversions, loops)

IBR = 50

*number of reaches (a reach is a portion of the canal or river between 2 offtakes, inflows or outflows)

IB = 350

*number of cross sections (calculation cross sections where hydraulic values will be calculated, they can be data sections you enter (max 2500) or automatically interpolated sections)

NSD = 2500

*number of singular sections (where there is one or several weir, gate, Gec Alsthom gate)

NSS = 200

*number of cross devices (weir, gate, Gec Alsthom gate)

NTO = 500

*number of regulation modules (an algorithm that can move one or several variables using one or several measured values)

NBCM = 100

*number of control variables

NBUM = 100

*number of measured variables

NBZM = 500

*number sediment classes (for the sediment transport module)

NCL = 6

NCLG = 11

Research and Educational version:

*number of branches (in case you have confluences, diversions, loops)

IBR = 2

*number of reaches (a reach is a portion of the canal or river between 2 offtakes, inflows or outflows)

IB = 10

*number of cross sections (calculation cross sections where hydraulic values will be calculated, they can be data sections you enter (max 50) or automatically interpolated sections)

NSD = 250

*number of singular sections (where there is one or several weir, gate, Gec Alsthom gate)

NSS = 10

*number of cross devices (weir, gate, Gec Alsthom gate)

NTO = 10
