Warning for Acute Angles Between Inlet and Outlet Pipes

Problem: The software does not warn users when the angle between the inlet and outlet pipes at a manhole is less than 90 degrees, which is a design flaw. Suggestion: Activate a warning when acute angles are detected between inlet and outlet pipes.
