Product Updates

Registered PCSWMM.NET license holders can download the most recent version by clicking on the download button below. For information on changes to the program, please refer to the update history listed below.

 

PCSWMM.NET

Two versions are available:

PCSWMM.NET for SWMM5.0.013 (beta) Version 2.11.309   (June 20th, 2008)
PCSWMM.NET for SWMM5.0.011 Version 2.06.211   (February 11th, 2008)

Workshop attendees:

Workshop attendees should install the non-beta version, i.e. PCSWMM.NET for SWMM5.0.011, Version 2.06.211 (February 11th, 2008). The beta version has changes to the interface that will cause problems when following the step-by-step exercises in the workshop's Urban Drainage Modeling Workbook.

Notes:

You can install both versions to different folders and run them both on the same computer. Please note that the PCSWMM.NET for SWMM5.0.013 version will convert projects to the new SWMM5 format when opened. If you want to keep the option of running a project with SWMM5.0.011, please first save a copy of the project in the earlier version.

You do not need to uninstall previous versions of PCSWMM.NET to install an update, however it doesn't cause a problem if you do. Some updates may require you to restart the PCSWMM.NET application after you attempt to run it for the first time. Some updates may prompt you to update the structure of SWMM5 layers. Please backup your existing PCSWMM.NET model files and remember to save your edits frequently. If the layout of the panels or toolbar is not desirable, choose View > Layout > Default to re-initialize the panel layout.
