Copy out Flow Control Reference

As it stands, you are unable to copy out the specific flow control reference. Which results in a laborious process to manually copy out for use in other programmes.

Accurately calculate the base and bank-top surface areas of flow through ponds for all shapes

The flow through pond storage option allows the user to select a side slope, depth and base area. It can then predict the bank-top area of that structure. The user can also adapt the shape of the pond/basin in Flow and Live Design and these update...

Foul network analysis

Water authorities are asking for a foul water network analysis to confirm the velocities, pipe diameters and flows. Flow cannot provide this information because the foul network has not outlet and it gets flooded. Your response is to add an hydrog...

Generate total volume within nodes and links

To allow an approximate overall attenuation volume when using oversized pipes or manholes, allowing a total possible volume with links and nodes could be useful for reporting purposes

Volume Summary Report

One page formal print out summarising the manhole, pipe and storage structure volumes within the SW network. This is often requested during planning stages of developments.

Import Multiple Networks into one PFD file

For example if you had two PFD files, one for the west side drainage network and one for the Eastern side drainage network (perhaps because two people were designing them). But once designed you wanted to combine into one PFD file. i believe you c...

Add a 'lock Node/Catchment positions' button to the Sketch window.

This is a very serious issue, if you accidently move an area, SmartTools will then double count that area next time you import it into Flow

Modelling 'free flowing' foul sewer networks

when a foul sewer is simulated within flow, the software assumes a blockage within the network. This is not very useful when trying to design a network that just drains under normal circumstances. The current work around suggested by Causeway is v...
