Incorporate overland flow analysis with below ground drainage design

Provide ability to either have overland flow draining into a pipe network or flooding out of a pipe network to be able to model resulting overland flow paths / flood extents

When modelling overland flows, need the ability to easily add swales / channels to the finished surface

Using the 'Modify levels' command to create a swale feature works, however, this does not create an entity that can be either revised or deleted.

Ability to set individual plot boundary levels and use these to adjust the finished surface (boundary to be any polygon shape)

Increasingly we are working on steep sites where we need to try and make usable gardens by setting gradients, often resulting in level changes at boundaries requiring retaining walls

Depth to Soffit on Manhole Types

Within Flow, I believe that we have found something where a feature could be slightly amended to aid some standard design processes. Currently, within “MH types”, there is a section where standard/minimum manhole diameters can be set by depth. We ...

Produce Hydrograph data from a simulation for the length of the Simulation run

Would is be possible to produce Hydrograph data for a Node that included the critical data all the way up to the Modelled storm event for all critical events. Currently we seem to get data shown up to the critical event then only about half the ti...

coordinate entry

user defined section entry is confusing and misleading. "Width" implies overall width of section whereas we are actually required to add coordinates for each side of the section. Relabel the columns, and/or maybe include help link to an example.

Model building connections to avoid the need to use third party software

Can a function be added to allow users to model building connections such as foul connections or connections from RWPs. This would allow the modelling of all below ground drainage in one model and allow BIM collaboration with other design discipli...

Outflow rates below 1 l/s to be specified to exact decimal point

It will be beneficial if the outflow rates below 1 litres per second can be specified to the exact decimal point. This is because a minimal change in a small outflow can have an impact on the storage required.

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
