Modeling 2 pond outlets in hydrocad

[Spiars]

I keep reading comments and instructions that this can be done, but am finding nothing but vague instructions on how to configure this. I have a pond where the flow will be split between two outlet orifices in structures located on opposite ends of the pond. I cannot find clear instructions on routing devices from a pond, such as how to route a device to a secondary outlet. If anyone can help me on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

First, I'll mention there is a HydroCAD forum on eng-tips where one can more get software specific help vs. general stormwater issues typically discussed here.

This Hydrocad support page should help explain:

An example for your scenario would be:
Outlet on one end of the pond would be Device #1 routed as Primary
Outlet on the other end of the pond would be Device "#2 routed as Secondary
Orifices would be routed to their respective outlets (#1 or #2)
One can direct the routing of Primary and Secondary outflows by dragging the outlet dots or arrows attached to the pond node with the mouse or by right-clicking the pond node and selecting "reroute".

You will find the device "Routing" in the upper-right corner of every outlet screen.

BTW, please do not double-post to this forum and directly to our support email, as we are obliged to answer both inquiries.
