Problem

Can you generate hydraulic grade and energy grade results in FlowMaster?

Solution

It is not possible to generate these results directly in FlowMaster. Elevation head is a key part of the calculated on both the hydraulic grade and energy grade, and elevation data is not included among the input in a FlowMaster table. If you need to see hydraulic grade and energy grade results, one of the other OpenFlows products is recommended, such as StormCAD, SewerCAD, CivilStorm or SewerGEMS. 

It is possible to get this information indirectly using input that is in FlowMaster. This data can be added to an outside program, such as Excel, and computed there.
