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 ...

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.

better layer functions

Items are drawn on whatever layer you happen to be using at the time, rather than breaking down various entities to a corresponding layer. For example, when placing a road all the information for that road is on a single layer and various colours ...

Ability To Import Strings For Ponds

When designing storage features in FLOW there is no current way of getting the storage for ponds to look correct to my knowledge graphically. It would be beneficial if you could import your base and top-of-pond strings directly from PDS and state ...

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...

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...

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...

better error reporting

when there is an error with an alignment, the software doesn't tell you where that error actually. You just get the red "i" next to the alignment, saying 2road/feature self interesects" or "cannot merge with finished surface" This is very frustrat...

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

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...
