EPANET-Matlab-Class

The EPANET-Matlab Class is an open-source software which operates within the Matlab environment, for providing a programming interface for the latest version of EPANET, a hydraulic and quality modeling software created by the US EPA, with Matlab, a high-level technical computing software. The goal of the Matlab Class is to serve as a common programming framework for research and development in the growing field of smart water networks.

The EPANET-Matlab Class features easy to use commands/wrappers for viewing, modifying, simulating and plotting results produced by the EPANET libraries.

Requirements

• Matlab
• EPANET The OpenWaterAnalytics (OWA) EPANET version is recommended instead of the one provided by the EPA.gov website, as a number of bugs have been fixed in the OWA version.

How to use the class

Download the folder Download ZIP, set the run path in Matlab within the saved folder, and run TEST.m. This will execute all the commands which have been implemented in the Class.

Example:

d=epanet('Net1.inp')

d.getNodeCount

d.getNodeElevations

How to fix/report bugs

To fix a bug Fork the EPANET-Matlab Class, Edit the code and make the appropriate change, and then Pull it so that we evaluate it.

Keep in mind that some bugs may exist in the EPANET libraries, in case you are not receiving the expected results.
