Innovyze Releases Generation 11.5 Of InfoWorks RS And FloodWorks, Further Raising The Bar For River Modeling And Flood Forecasting
New Versions Include Enhanced Interoperability with HEC-RAS, Significant Performance Increases
Innovyze, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, recently announced the worldwide release of Generation 11.5 of InfoWorks RS and FloodWorks, its class-leading river and floodplain modeling and real time flood forecasting solutions. The latest release adds significant customer-requested functionality to improve the simulation and management of the world's river systems.
InfoWorks RS combines a highly advanced 1D and 2D simulation engine, data management, geographical analysis and a relational database in one environment. The result is a single tool that can import, clean up and store survey and time series data; build detailed and accurate models; analyze model results; and present outputs in graphical and engineering report-quality formats. InfoWorks RS provides full-solution modeling of open channels, culverts, floodplains, embankments and hydraulic structures. It also simulates rainfall runoff using both event-based and conceptual hydrological methods.
InfoWorks RS V11.5 now allows for stronger imports of HEC-RAS geometry files. Ineffective flow areas, obstructed areas, bridges, lateral weirs, gated spillways, and storage areas can now all be imported directly from HEC-RAS, simplifying the switch from HEC-RAS to InfoWorks RS. The new version also adds significant performance increases for both water quality and comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) simulations.

FloodWorks is a modular software package focused on real-time simulation and forecasting of future hydrological and hydraulic conditions in river basins, stormwater and drainage systems and coastal areas. Designed for operational use in the control room, FloodWorks links a variety of live data sources with a wide range of models to provide detailed and accurate forecasts of water levels, flood depths, flows, velocities, water quality parameters and sea state. Using FloodWorks, managers and engineers can carry out fast, accurate and detailed simulations of the future effects of an extreme event, providing key data necessary to effectively deploy emergency response services and minimize the risk of loss of life and damage to infrastructure.
Enhancements in FloodWorks V11.5 include user-defined run timesteps, additional GRIB formats for radar rainfall data, improved graphing and labeling, strengthened validation, and significant performance gains for systems with a large number of status objects.
"Version 11.5 of InfoWorks RS and FloodWorks demonstrate the ongoing evolution of our world-class river simulation and flood forecasting tools," said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., Hon.D.WRE, F.ASCE, the company's President and COO. "The new releases will give our customers an even more effective toolset and an improved work experience that can help them achieve new levels of success. They underline our ongoing commitment to providing the world's engineering community with powerful, easy-to-use modeling and simulation technology that helps them strengthen, protect, sustain, manage and optimize their water resources infrastructure."
