Your files stay on your device EDIT IN FLOWANALYZER Tap "Edit & simulate in FlowAnalyzer" on the network screen to send the network to FlowAnalyzer (if installed) to edit it. If FlowAnalyzer is not installed, its App Store page opens inside the viewer. The two apps are separate. They use different EPANET engine versions (2.2 and 2.3.5); results may differ. FREE FlowAnalyzer Viewer is free, with no limit on network size. To edit and create networks, there is FlowAnalyzer. PRIVACY No account, no ads, no tracking. The app collects no data.
