Optimise Head / Discharge curves automatically for simulations

When simulating models, it is often necessary to consolidate the values in a H/Q curve to retain the hydraulic performance but optimize the simulation speed. As during previous correspondence with the InfoWorks support team, this has been advised and found to significantly improve simulation speed. Hydrobrake manufacturers often produce these curves with lots of points that aren't needed hydraulically, could the software have an option to optimise these automatically rather than manually .

    This can probably also be done with Ruby, but your example looks ideally suited for optimization.

    Thank you for the suggestion and thanks to those who voted.

    We will engage in consultations with a wider array of stakeholders to gauge their interest and gather additional perspectives on the proposed feature.

    Should we observe a substantial level of enthusiasm and demand, we will be inclined to advance the status of this suggestion to "Under Consideration." This stage will involve a more detailed analysis, including a feasibility study, resource allocation assessment, and preliminary planning to understand how this feature could be seamlessly integrated into the software.
