AFT xStream

Steam and Gas Transient Analysis Software

AFT xStream is a powerful fluid dynamic simulation tool for high-speed, acoustic transients that occur in steam and gas piping systems. Uncertainty in design and operations costs money and time. Now you can accurately simulate how your steam and gas systems will respond to potentially disruptive or harmful events. 

Stream & Gas Transient Analysis Software

Key Features

Accurate Transient Simulation

AFT xStream™ offers precise simulation of high-speed transients in steam and gas piping systems, ensuring reliable predictions of system behavior during dynamic events.

Dynamic Input Data Modification

Users can easily modify system input data, such as transient valve positions, compressor operations, and control set points, allowing for quick adjustments to simulate different scenarios.

Force Imbalance Calculation

The software calculates transient unbalanced forces, enabling accurate sizing of structural supports and ensuring system integrity under dynamic conditions.

Comprehensive Scenario Analysis

AFT xStream™ allows users to simulate complex scenarios, including tank blowdowns, heat transfer in piping walls, and heat exchanger tube ruptures, providing a comprehensive understanding of system responses.

Flexible Transient Initiation

 Transients can be initiated based on time or specific parameter criteria, offering flexibility in modeling various operational conditions and events.

Enhanced Functionality with Add-On Module

The XSTREAM ADD-ON MODULE enhances the software's capabilities, providing additional tools and functionalities for more advanced transient analysis and solution optimization.
