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...

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...

coordinate entry

user defined section entry is confusing and misleading. "Width" implies overall width of section whereas we are actually required to add coordinates for each side of the section. Relabel the columns, and/or maybe include help link to an example.

calculate 3D volumes of flow through structures

This should be done without having to change the footprint shape in Sketch, SmartTools, Live Design.

Ability to interrogate properties of the Line/Sign objects using an Object Enabler

Currently PDS relies on AutoCAD's Proxy Entity functionality to display the markings/signs in drawings when they are opened by a 'non Line/Sign user'. This means they can view the objects but not interrogate them. The ability interrogate the prope...

"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...

Latest Software Download

The latest software download is hidden behind a sales contact form. It would be much easier if the latest software versions were listed with a download link. It could be added to the support section so users would have to login to get the link.

When are we getting the ability to model complex junctions?

We have a second Phase to progress of a project previously modelled in PDS, which incorporated complex road junctions. This cannot be imported correctly into live design and is therefore causing an issue.
