BIM Collaboration

Improved modelling, including building drainage so designs can be modelled to base of internal stacks within buildings to allow for greater collaboration between other design disciplines for general clash detection. Typically, Architects, Structur...

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.

Automatic introduction of backdrop manholes to limit pipe slopes/velocity in steep sites

Would it be possible for Flow to introduce backdrop manholes in order to reduce pipe slopes/flow velocity (storm and foul)? In steep sites it is often necessary to do this manually in the software and it is time consuming to optimise. It is alread...

General user interface improvements

Having used Flow now for the last 6 months we feel there are plenty of user interface improvements than can be made. Add the link references in the results? When a link is selected, can the corresponding link on the section be highlight with a col...

Quick Storage Calculations For Soakaways Without The Use Of The Base

When looking at the preliminary quick storage calculations used for preliminary designs/drainage strategies, the quick storage tool is excellent up until the point you want to design soakaways as there is no option to get a quick storage calculati...

Highlight if the Colebrook-White or the Manning's equations is being used by highlighting (or greying out) the "ks (mm)" or "n" in the link details.

It seems that if a pipe has a swale upstream then the pipe uses the Manning's equations to compute flows etc, but if it has nothing upstream or a pipe upsteam then it uses the Colebrook-White equations. This means that on the same storm water syst...

sort tables

Either add facility to sort table entries numerically by node or link number - or amend software so that the tabulated data automatically displays in numerical order even after a model has been altered by adding or renumbering nodes. This would he...

Compare the existing and proposed scenarios, in order to clearly demonstrate the betterment

We currently have an existing building which is due to be refurbished. As part of the proposed works, we are introducing an attenuation structure with a restricted discharge flow of 1 l/s. In the existing condition, surface water freely discharges...

Dark mode

I understand that it might be a stretch, but it would be great if there was a possibility to switch to dark mode in Flow.
