Multiple conduits

Dear PCSWMM Users,

I am transitioning from a box culvert into 2 circular culverts. Is there a way to model multiple culverts instead of adding C1 cards?

Thanks

Re: Multiple conduits

Transitioning from one barrel to multiple barrels, especially underground, results in lodging points for any debris that finds its way into the system. Absent debris nose(s) and access for cleanout (and even with these), the system can become blocked or at least suffer restricted flow. This occurred in one particular case a few years ago that led to substantial claims for flood damage.
