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...

COBie information for drainage systems

Clients are requesting we provide COBie information for drainage systems - it would be useful to have the ability to embed COBie data into the drainage model and export it for others to use. This is likely to be a more suitable feature in Flow but...

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...

Renumbering of Links

When a model is imported into SmartTools, if the model is rebuilt then the link names change to the upstream node name. When using SmartTools to speed up design time, it is very frustrating to have to renumber/rename links.A further addition would...
