Download Product Sheet AFT Fathom is a fluid dynamic simulation software for engineers, used to calculate pressure drop and pipe flow distribution in liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems…..
- Accurately simulate individual system components and interaction
- Tightly integrates equipment characteristics, analysis and output with your system™s schematic representation
- Provides a wide array of features without sacrificing your need for a short learning curve
- Frees you to focus on your system, not the mechanics of software manipulation
- Significantly improves the quality of systems engineering you can achieve, leading to less costly, more efficient and more reliable piping systems
Primary Features of AFT Fathom:
- Track all your design variants and potential operating conditions in a single file with Scenario Manager
- Use integrated, customizable graphing and reporting to make analysis visually intuitive
- Evaluate Pump and System curve interaction including composite head and efficiency curve
- Calculate the capital costs of pipes and components as well as operating energy expenses
- Leverage built-in libraries of fluids and fittings to build your own database upon
- Consider viscosity and frictional effects from non-Newtonian viscosity models or non-settling slurries
- Account for heat transfer effects in pipes and heat exchangers
- Ensure a design adheres to industry standards such as API 526, ANSI/HI 9.6.3, API 610, or NFPA Standards
- Import piping layouts from CAESAR II® Neutral files, PCF Files, and GIS shapefiles regardless of source
- Integrate with Excel to import model data and export output data
- Built-in libraries of fluids (including NIST REFPROP and ASME Steam Tables) and fittings which can be extended and customized
- Optional Chempak add-on utility provides a thermophysical database of almost 700 fluids.
