Cumulative area discounts flow through structures and network before

The cumulative area calculation discounts everything before a flow through structure and the nodes attached to the structure. LLFA's are now requesting calc files due to the print out also reading your incorrect pathing of calculations. Theirs no ...

To be able to show pipe crossings when plotting long sections.

When plotting long sections, it would be useful to be able to show the crossings from other drainage networks. The crossing are shown on the long sections viewer in flow but not when you plot them.

Minimum Pipe Length

The mimimum pipe length in Flow is currently set to 1m. Where modelling junctions and connections there may be less than 1m between the junctions. Please revise the minimum length to around 300-500mm.

Infiltration volume

Add a column called ‘Infiltration Volume’ to the simulation results table which indicates the total volume of water infiltrating into the ground at the upstream manhole during the selected storm.

Infiltration Half Drain time calculations

We have recently been challenged by Wiltshire LLFA regarding half drain times. As I understand it, Flow calculates the half drain time to CIRIA 156 which gives a significantly longer half drain time than the BRE365 method that Micro Drainage uses....

Time to half empty Calculations

I have a request regards time to half empty of infiltration systems. Irrespective of what I set in the preference page (whether time to half empty by volume or by storm) I just get time to half empty of the structure. That isn’t very useful inform...

Total Impermeable Area on Calcs Printout

The sum of the total impermeable area is not currently printed on the calcs, this could be incorporated with the total Time/Area information (as per a previous suggestion) as MicroDrainage does.
