Pressure pipes are essential components of many engineering systems, such as water supply, oil and gas transportation, and power generation. To design and manage these systems, engineers need features that can model the geometry and properties of pressure pipes. These features should include the ability to inventory bends, diameters, transitions, and other elements that affect the flow and pressure of fluids in pipes.

This would be very useful. I'm baffled as to why this isn't already a part of the software. Many of our city street projects also have water line design and we are using Civil 3D for modeling since it already had pressure pipe functionality. It's less than ideal having to work with 2 different softwares on the same project and leaves the door wide open for errors between the road/drainage design and water lines.
