AFT Fathom 7.0 provides comprehensive,
incompressible pipe flow analysis and system
modeling capabilities combined with ease-of-use.
Addressing open and closed loop systems, AFT Fathom
includes a built-in library of fluids and fittings,
variable model configurations, pump and control
valve modeling and much more. With the optional
Chempak add-in, a thermo-physical database of over
600 fluids is available to further expand the
envelope of your analysis and design. AFT Fathom
goes beyond the boundaries of traditional pipe flow
analysis, with thermal analysis capabilities
including piping heat transfer, heat exchanger
modeling and varying fluid properties.
Extend AFT Fathom's modeling capabilities with
several available Add-on Modules:
* XTS - eXtended Time Simulation to model dynamic
system behavior.
* GSC - Goal Seek and Control to automate the
determination of input parameters that will yield
desired output values and simulate control
functions within systems.
* CST - CoST calculations of pipes and components.
* SSL - Settling SLurry module (SSL) to address the
uniqe challenges of settling slurry system design.
AFT Fathom employs a robust solver using proven
matrix methods to solve the governing equations of
pipe flow. The full power of this technical
sophistication is readily accessible through an
advanced visual interface. From the powerful
drag-and-drop model building features to the fully
customizable output, AFT Fathom becomes an extension
of the engineers mind, freeing him or her to focus
on their system, not the mechanics of software
manipulation. Scenario Manager raises the what-if
potential of system modeling to a new level.
Multiple system configurations varying by any
modeling parameter are easily managed within a
single model file with a familiar hierarchical
interface. Changes in the base model are
automatically inherited by dependent design cases.
More than just pipe flow analysis, AFT Fathom lets
you build your piping system in software. Vary pipe
sizes, pump curves, valve settings, fluid
properties, operating lineup... virtually anything
you can do with the real system can be done within
AFT Fathom, accurately simulating the individual
system components and their interaction. Whether
you're designing new systems, modifying existing
ones or analyzing system operations, The ability to
analyze alternates and the insight provided by an
AFT Fathom model significantly improves the quality
of systems engineering you can achieve, leading to
less costly, more efficient and more reliable piping
systems.
