Depth to Soffit on Manhole Types

Within Flow, I believe that we have found something where a feature could be slightly amended to aid some standard design processes. Currently, within “MH types”, there is a section where standard/minimum manhole diameters can be set by depth. We ...

Function to add a prefix to node names

Industry wide drainage system manholes are normally named as S1 and F1, can we add a function to add a prefix to the nodes in Flow, avoids the element of human error having to manually name everything. This option is available in microdrainage, it...

Produce Hydrograph data from a simulation for the length of the Simulation run

Would is be possible to produce Hydrograph data for a Node that included the critical data all the way up to the Modelled storm event for all critical events. Currently we seem to get data shown up to the critical event then only about half the ti...

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...

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...

Generate total volume within nodes and links

To allow an approximate overall attenuation volume when using oversized pipes or manholes, allowing a total possible volume with links and nodes could be useful for reporting purposes

calculate 3D volumes of flow through structures

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

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.

Model building connections to avoid the need to use third party software

Can a function be added to allow users to model building connections such as foul connections or connections from RWPs. This would allow the modelling of all below ground drainage in one model and allow BIM collaboration with other design discipli...
