OverviewCatchmentSIM is a stand-alone GIS based terrain analysis programthat is designed to help setup hydrologic models. The programis used to automatically delineate subcatchment(s) and calculatetheir associated spatial and topographic characteristics to assist inassigning suitable hydrologic modelling parameters.

The delineated subcatchments and their hydrologic attributes canbe directly exported from CatchmentSIM to any third party hydrologicmodel. This is achieved by a flexible result export macro language withbuilt-in macro scripts which enable creation of input files for a widerange of software (e.g., RAFTS, DRAINS, WBNM, RORB, URBS).

CatchmentSIM has been used to help setup models for a wide

range of water resource management projects, flood and floodplainmanagement studies, hydrologic investigations, water quality studies,environmental flow investigations and urban stormwater projects inover 50 countries.

Key FeaturesCreate a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from a wide range of datasources including raster, TIN, contour and spot height based models(including LiDAR).Supports projection and transformation between a wide range ofcoordinate systems and datums.Remove flat spots and pits from the DEM using advanced filling and

breaching algorithms.Map drainage paths for any point in the terrain.Automatically delineate subcatchment and stream networks completewith Horton ordering and a full range of hydrologic attributes including(but not limited to) area, subcatchment and stream slope, flow pathlengths, % impervious, bifurcation ratio, and drainage density.Automatically breakup a subcatchment into a number of smallersubcatchments based on a stream network, target subcatchmentsize or target number of subcatchments.Automatic calculation of impervious proportions of subcatchmentsbased on any GIS polygon layer.Supports a wide range of raster background imagery.Automatically develop stage area volume relationships forreservoirs and lakes.Chart a wide range of hydrologic attributes to gain perspective intothe expected rainfall response.Reliably model flow in urban environments using gutter and channeltype hydraulic controls.Advanced Zonal Statistics to calculate subcatchment properties forany external vector or raster attributes.Comprehensive Curve Number Calculator for SCS-CN style analysisincluding dual hydrologic groups.A raster calculator allows advanced calculations to be undertaken forany grid or vector layer including full access to the macro language.Visualise your project with 3D OpenGL graphics.Create a nodal link network layout for export to a hydrologic model.Integration with any external hydrologic software via a macrolanguage. Buit-in scripts allow creation of files compatible with awide range of software.Export subcatchment boundaries, streams and associated hydrologicattributes to a variety of third party GIS applications including ArcGIS,MapInfo and Google Earth.Seamless integration with 12d ( www.12d.com) and XP-SWMM(www.xpsoftware.com ) models for mapping of pit/inlet/nodecatchments and flow paths.

Develop a rasterDEM from LiDAR,contours, raster,TIN, and spot heightbased models,visualize the DEMin 3D, and mapdrainage paths fromany point

Supported File FormatsDEMCatchmentSIM uses a raster DEM as the foundation for its hydrologicanalysis. A raster DEM can be created from a wide range of GIS dataincluding:

Vector files (such as contours) in ESRI Shape file (*.shp), MapInfoExchange file (*.mid/mif) or 12D ASCII (*.12da). Raster DEMs in a range of formats including ASCII Grid, Arc Binary(*.hdr), Arc Raster (*.adf), AIRSAR Polarimetric, VTP Binary Terrain(*.bt), Military Elevation Data (*.dt0, .dt1, .dt2), GMT CompatiblenetCDF, Golden Software Grid, Grid Exchange File (*.gxf), SRTM HGT(*.hgt), Japanese DEM (*.mem), NED DEM, USGS ASCII DEM (*.dem),USGS SDTS DEM (*.cadt.ddf), Terragen Heightfield and others. Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) DEMs (Arc/Info ASCII Net(*.net), 12D ASCII (*.12da) format) Spot Heights in comma, space or tab delimited X Y Z format.

LiDAR (*.las) data files.

ImageryCatchmentSIM also supports a wide range of raster imagery includinginternal geo-referencing. Supported image formats include ERMapperCompressed Wavelets (*.ecw), MrSID (*.sid), TIFF and GeoTiff (*.tiff),JPEG (*.jpg), JPEG 2000 (*.jp2, *.j2k), Graphics Interchange Format(*.gif), Portable Network Graphics (*.png), Windows Metafile (*.wmf),Windows Bitmap (*.bmp), ADGR/ARC Digitized Raster Graphic, USGSDOQ (*.doq), Intergraph Raster, IRDAS Imagine (*.img), IDRISI Raster,SGI Image Format (*.sgi) and others.

Export File SupportOnce subcatchment boundaries have been defined and the associated

hydrologic characteristics have been calculated, the information canbe exported to external GIS applications. CatchmentSIM supportsexport to the following vector and raster file formats:

ESRI Shape (*.shp). MapInfo Exchange (*.mid/mif). Common grid formats including Arc/Info ASCII / Binary Grids. Keyhole Markup Language - Google Earth (*.kml).

In addition, the subcatchment boundaries and hydrologic parameterscan be exported to a standard results file format for reporting or athird party hydrologic computer model input file format for furtherdetailed analysis. CatchmentSIM includes a flexible result exportlanguage called CST which can be used to export project results inany file format. This is achieved by selecting from one of the availablemacro scripts distributed with the program or writing your own.Providing you have information on the input file format of the desiredmodel, the CST language provides the tools needed to export almostany CatchmentSIM project values (e.g., areas, % impervious, runoffcurve numbers) in the required file format and structure.

Pricing & LicensingCatchmentSIM is licensed by a USB hardware lock available in singleuser or network form (4 or more licences).

CatchmentSIM 2 has 3 components:1. Core Software The core software (required for all licences)2. Macro Language Module This module provides the Result ExportWizard, Raster Calculator and Curve Number Calculator functionality.You will also need this module to integrate CatchmentSIM with any othermodel such as RAFTS, WBNM, URBS, DRAINS, HEC-HMS etc.3. 3D Visualisation Module This module is allows the terrain to bevisualised in 3D (including all raster / vector layers) in tandem withthe 2D view.

A maintenance agreement is also required which provides prioritysupport and continual free upgrades as new versions are released.

Pricing details are as follows.

For example, the price for a single licence with all components is$3,910 (excluding GST). Orders for multiple licences attract a 25%discount off the entire order.
