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...

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...

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
