List of scripts

Simple

If you are a beginner and just learning Ruby these scripts can be used as a reference to learn how to automate simple tasks.

Each of these scripts will only complete a single task and the code within will be commented to provide context for those not familiar with coding in Ruby.

Name	Purpose
Modify Network Data	Update pipe diameters based on information in the user text fields
Create Network Objects	Create new network objects
Modify Structured Data	Update structured data, these fields are displayed as tables within InfoWorks, such as depth/volume for reservoirs
Set Material Using Lookup	Update material field on pipes using a Ruby hash as a lookup table
Expand Short Links	Expands links to be a minimum size
Trace Network	From a single pipe, use Ruby to trace a distribution network finding pipes of the same size or smaller
Validate Network	Run a network validation from Ruby

Intermediate

Intermediate scripts attempt to automate realistic modelling tasks using Ruby. These scripts will contain multiple tasks that flow from each other. High-level comments are provided, though some experience with coding would be expected to modify or extend the scripts.

Config variables are generally added to the top of the script to allow some level of customisation and running the scripts directly by the end-user with minimal modification.

Name	Purpose
Open Data Import Centre	Automate the import multiple of shape files, including filtering assets
Demand Allocation - Exchange	Allocate customer points using Exchange

Complex

Name	Purpose
Convert Network to GeoJSON	Converts an InfoWorks network or simulation into a GeoJSON file

Create Selection Lists from Areas	Reads the area codes from within a model and create selection lists for each area.
Set elevations using Ordnance Survey NTF	Calculate the elevation of point objects within Great Britain using Ordance Survey NTF files
Demand Allocation - Custom	Allocate customer points to the nearest pipe
