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...

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

For stage 3 designs that will not require civil 3D or smart tools, would be invaluable to just be able to overlay a basic cad layout into Flow to visualize indicative drainage layouts rather than manually putting in coordinates and hoping it's right.

Flow to calculate side infiltration area of basins

It would be extremely useful if FLOW could calculate the infiltration areas of infiltration basins/flow through ponds rather than having to calculate it ourselves. For example, if we suggest a minimum base area, height and side slope, then FLOW wo...

Foul network analysis

Water authorities are asking for a foul water network analysis to confirm the velocities, pipe diameters and flows. Flow cannot provide this information because the foul network has not outlet and it gets flooded. Your response is to add an hydrog...

"Select all" option for each storm duration and specify a surcharged outfall by level

In Causeway Flow, having an option to "Select All" storm durations in simulation settings, as well as when specifying a surcharged outfall for a specific return period, would be useful. Also, having the option to specify a surcharged outfall by wa...

Drawing outputs such as long sections and manhole schedules to indicate manhole & pipe reference prefixes and suffixes the same way as it appears on the plan

For example if I set "F" prefix for the foul chambers in "Annotations", the manholes on the layout will appear as intended (F1, F2, etc...). However these prefixes are ignored when generating other drawing outputs such as schedules or long section...

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
