GVF-Convex for Pressure Sewer Preliminary Design

(Note: This is a follow up to another post I commented on but pulled out for better continuity of discussion). An engineer has been asked to develop a feasibility study for a new sewer system, which in my mind does not require evaluation and input size of pumps and wet wells as this time but merely to see line types and sizes and head requirements so that an educated guess can be used to design wet wells and pumps. The system is going to be pressure and therefore the model selected GVF-Convex as choice in solvers with Steady State Analysis for analysis type and Extreme Flow Setup to be dictated by two scenarios (10-States Peak and Average Daily). The model so far under analysis is correct for the loads assigned. Where the model is having issue is the ability to autodesign. When reviewing the lesson within SewerGEMs (that Mark provided on the thread "Trying to calculate steady state analysis") it was geared toward gravity pipe. If I go into alternatives and design, I don't get an option to select pressure pipe. Is there a way to set constraints (i.e. maximum TDH of 150' H2O, minimum velocity of 2.0 ft/sec, etc.) for pressure pipe to perform the auto design portion of the solver?
