Dear All,

I have probably found a problem in the beta version of SWMM5, so I want tell you how I solved it. I tried to make an easy project (runoff+extran) to test the new release, but when I changed the default value of time steps (i.e.: wet weather, dry weather, routing time step, reporting time step), the program did not accept the new value anymore, untill I put in 1 hour or more.

So I have opened the project file (*.inp) with a text editor and I have compared it with example1.inp (in bundle with SWMM5), and I have found a different syntax of time steps: in my project the hours, minutes and seconds were divided by "." and in example1 by ":". So I manually changed my file, and everything goes. Then I controlled the time step window and I saw my time steps (10 seconds) on the left, under the writing "hours". I don't know if this is a SWMM5 source code bug, but this is what I found! I hope I helped someone of you with my problem!

Greetings to All,
