Key Features

Incompressible Pipe Flow Analysis

Calculate pressure drop and flow distribution in liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems.

Dynamic System Modeling

Experiment with operating conditions, change system input data (valve positions, pump operation, control set points, etc.), and model a wide range of system components.

Alerts and Highlighting

Specify alerts for out-of-range output values (flow, pressure, velocity, etc.) for quick identification and correction of issues.

Custom Component Libraries

Compile libraries of custom components, pipe materials, and fluids to save time, share data among teams, and avoid input errors.

Cost Evaluation

Calculate the cost of system pipes, components, and energy costs to optimize system design.

Hydraulic Behavior Prediction

Understand how pipes, valves, pumps, and other components interact to predict system behavior.

Goal Seek & Control

Varies input parameters that yield desired output values and simulates control functions

Extended Time Simulation

Models dynamic system behavior and how critical system parameters vary over time

Settling Slurry

Models the effects of pumping fluids containing settling solids using the Wilson/GIW method

Automated Network Sizing

Automatically size pipe diameters to meet design requirements and minimize system cost
