New in InfoWorks ICM 2026: Sub-Grid Sampling for speedier sims

Higher model accuracy is usually accomplished by utilizing a finer mesh in your model. However, every time we shrink the mesh size in half to perform a typical hydraulic simulation, our run time can increase by a factor of 8! On the face of it, model accuracy seems to be inversely correlated to length of simulation times. So, is increasing one while decreasing the other even possible?

Enter our newest innovation from InfoWorks ICM 2026: Sub Grid Sampling. This new functionality in InfoWorks ICM allows for the use of larger mesh elements while still capturing highly detailed topographical changes in a surface. This means a larger mesh and a significantly faster simulation time. This can lead to up to a 65X increase in hydraulic simulation speed.
