Design Report Rainfall Totals

The rainfall contained in the Design Report just indicates Peak and Average Intensities. The total rainfall for the storm event should also be documented, particularly as the first 5mm of rainfall now requires interception. There will be some even...

Ability to zoom Results Page (text is quite small) as the Nodes and Links Tables

The text contained within the Results page is quire small and not easy to read. It would also reduce the prospect of miss reading a line of data.

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...

Live Design running within BricsCAD

Given that there are other CAD based Packages other than those by AutoDesk, it would be useful to be able to run Live Design within others, probably one of the largest alternatives is BricsCAD - pair this with greater functionality within the Swep...

Separating Flow Design Reports - Ability to split large flow networks into phased design reports.

There is a requirement to be able to produce design reports for separate sections of a larger Flow network when working on multi-phase developments.

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...

Import Multiple Networks into one PFD file

For example if you had two PFD files, one for the west side drainage network and one for the Eastern side drainage network (perhaps because two people were designing them). But once designed you wanted to combine into one PFD file. i believe you c...

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.

Copy out Flow Control Reference

As it stands, you are unable to copy out the specific flow control reference. Which results in a laborious process to manually copy out for use in other programmes.

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...
