Optimisation tool for storage structures

A wizard for reducing down one or more storage structures to the optimum required size. Something like this: Select all storage features of interest. Enter key design criteria (e.g. max depth, porosity, design storm of interest etc.) Run an optimi...

Cache input hydrographs, unless parameters changed

It takes a long time for Causeway to open and run RefH2. When designing a network with input hydrographs, it becomes a slow process to re-run the model when making changes to the drainage infrastructure. It would make sense to save the generated i...

Specific Statement of Storage in tank or pond

I don't believe it is possible to simply display the storage amount in printed results (Design Report) as a separate entity. It does of course show up within the results list for the various storms, however, this is not very clear and of course is...

Auto pipe sizing per number of dwellings contributing

We need to upsize wastewater pipes from 150mm dia. to 225mm dia. as soon as the total number of dwellings contributing to that pipe exceeds 20. Could this be added to the Auto-design parameters?

Window size when moving Flow between multiple screens

Why does the window size of Flow decrease so much if it is moved from one screen to another when using multiple screens? Somewhat annoying to have to re-size it in the 2nd screen

pre-development discharge rates/ volumes

When calculating the pre-development discharge rates you get the Qbar and the Qmed for the requested return periods. For discussions with utility providers would be useful to obtain it for storm durations like the 15minutes and 30 minutes storm.

Just a preference option to dispaly slopes in percentage rather than in 1:X only in Flow.

.pfd File Locking - 'Read Only' Status

There doesnt seem to be any 'locking' of PFD files when they're opened. Currently individuals, or multiple users, can open the same file and overright it. Clearly thats less than ideal! It also happens with SmartTools, if you export out of SmartTo...
