Early design of thermo-fluid systems

You could save over 90% of the time building the simulation model of your thermo-fluid system. Whether the geometric data is in the form of P&ID (piping and instrumentation diagram), piping isometric, native 3D CAD, or GIS (geographic information system), you can use these to automatically create the model in just a few clicks, eliminating manual input errors and saving precious time that can be dedicated to more valuable engineering tasks.

Select properly sized components for safe and efficient system performance. Early in the design process, it is necessary to select critical components such as pumps, compressors and heat exchangers because they have a large effect on the overall performance and operating cost of the system over its life. You can make informed component decisions thanks to the fast and accurate static solver based on empirical data from Internal Flow Systems by Don Miller.

Ensure adequate flow and temperature conditions through complex, multi-branched systems for optimal system performance. Typically, field technicians manually adjust system settings to deliver fluid flow rates required through trial and error. Using the dedicated flow balancing capability, you can virtually size restrictions or determine control valve openings, reducing what normally takes weeks of fieldwork on a live system to just few seconds on the digital twin.

Understand the behavior of your thermo-fluid systems at a glance. With several ways to visualize any result directly on the model, visual physics reduces the time needed to manually post-process results. This means more time that you can spend on making valuable engineering decisions. It also means quickly sharing your insights with colleagues in a manner easily understood at any level in the organization.

Ready-to-use components characterized with Miller data (Internal Flow Systems) to analyze your thermo-fluid systems. This is a set of highly accurate empirical data based on measures taken on industrial size rigs. Internal Flow Systems describes the data and procedures and is the standard reference for engineers involved with thermo-fluid systems design.
