Flow through structure Mass balance Issue

Always having mass balance issues when utilising flow through structure. It could be something from adding orifice to inlets same size as pipe, lifting/dropping structure slightly increasing/decreasing length of structure, that sorts the issue. Th...

Total Volume of Structure

Finding total volume of a structure would be useful (similar to the volume Static Tool in MicroDrainage).At present the only way to do it is look at the storage tab and hover over a depth in the storage structure section and it shows the depth and...

Change Porosity display

In the new update when you add the porosity it displays that porosity but it is quite an eye sore and would be beneficial to be able to remove or tone it down a bit.

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 ...

Pipe Selection/visibility in output

There is often need to hide certain pipes from the final output. Either they are dummy pipes that have no relation to the final layout or they are areas outside the specific design network that do not need to be included in the report. Microdraina...

Include check dam option in swales

Check dams are commonly used in swales to temporarily pond runoff to increase pollutant retention and infiltration and decrease flow velocity, but Flow does not have an option to model them. As they are a recognised SuDS feature, and commonly used...

Urban Creep

Global urban creep isn’t helpful. We have a process of assessing UC on a pipe-by-pipe basis. We separate the areas that UC should be applied to and areas such as flats the highway that don’t need it. If global UC is applied, then you are adding 10...
