Time/Area Diagram for a Network

Flow doesn't currently have the ability to show the total flow/area diagrams for the outlets. This is a very useful feature in MicroDrainage that Flow doesnt seem to support.

CAD Background overlay in Flow for stage 3 coordination of sites

For stage 3 designs that will not require civil 3D or smart tools, would be invaluable to just be able to overlay a basic cad layout into Flow to visualize indicative drainage layouts rather than manually putting in coordinates and hoping it's right.

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...

Flow to calculate side infiltration area of basins

It would be extremely useful if FLOW could calculate the infiltration areas of infiltration basins/flow through ponds rather than having to calculate it ourselves. For example, if we suggest a minimum base area, height and side slope, then FLOW wo...

calculate 3D volumes of flow through structures

This should be done without having to change the footprint shape in Sketch, SmartTools, Live Design.

"Select all" option for each storm duration and specify a surcharged outfall by level

In Causeway Flow, having an option to "Select All" storm durations in simulation settings, as well as when specifying a surcharged outfall for a specific return period, would be useful. Also, having the option to specify a surcharged outfall by wa...

Ability to add design parameters

It would be helpful to have following parameters, including the ability to define them globally as well as locally (for node or links) Maximum gradient Minimum Gradient Maximum drop Allow Drop (locally) Maximum cover

200yr Pre Greenfield Runoff

Looking for the ability to use the system to calculate the 200yr pre development greenfield discharge for a development site. Currently you can only calculate the 1,2,5,10,25,30,50,100,500

Cache input hydrographs, unless parameters changed

It takes a long time for Causeway to open and run RefH2. When designing a network with input hydrographs, it becomes a slow process to re-run the model when making changes to the drainage infrastructure. It would make sense to save the generated i...
