Hopefully someone can help me with this issue. In my network I have junctions acting as inlets, connection points from inlets to main line, and whenever there is a vertical or horizontal bend I also have node. I exported it from Civil 3D which converts null structures to junctions in SSA. A problem I am having is that in my network I have a vertical bend the upstream pipe has a flow of 124 cfs and when it crosses the node representing the vertical bend the downstream pipe has a flow of 99 cfs. How can a pipe loose so much cfs in a bend? Please help if possible.

Thanks for the advice. That is something I will definitely try and do. I also figured out that the link routing method has a lot to do with the way flow is calculated. I was using hydrodynamic which does extra sophisticated calculations and steady flow does normal calculations with no loss when passing by bends in the system.
