Convergence
I am trying to run my first DAMBRK model. When I excute analysis, it stops and the output file says "initial backwater solution did not converge." Do you have any input as to why this occurs and/or solutions?

Thanks,
Lori

Re: Convergence
Lori:

It is important that the initial water surface elevation computations converge. Otherwise, the unsteady flow model cannot start up.

If you want, you can send me your model and I can review it.
