Download AFT Fathom, a sophisticated and realistic dynamic fluid simulation program, for free. It is available for Windows as a standalone offline installer.
AFT Fathom Overview
Engineers can compute the distribution of pressure drop and pipe flow in liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems using this fluid dynamic simulation program.
In addition to closely integrating equipment attributes, analysis, and output with your system’s schematic representation, it faithfully replicates the interactions and individual components of the system.
With its extensive feature set and minimal learning curve, the program lets you concentrate on your system rather than the intricacies of manipulating software.
Additionally, it greatly raises the bar for systems engineering quality, which results in pipe systems that are less expensive, more dependable, and efficient.
AFT Fathom’s characteristics
Try out different operating environments and scenarios.
Modify system input data with ease, such as pressures, temperatures, set points, pump operations, valve positions, and more.
GIS shapefiles that ArcGis and other programs support
Excel integration that supports data input and export, as well as file import and export in EPANET format
Several different system components should be modeled for both design and operation scenarios.
Change the configuration of your system: open and close pipes and valves, turn on and off pumps, and put control valves to fail position
Set up alerts to display output values that are out of range for flow, pressure, velocity, pump efficiency, and other factors automatically.
Choose pumps from manufacturer catalogs available online.
Create catalogs for the piping parts you use most frequently and choose them from a drop-down list.
Examine the variations in viscosity and friction brought on by pumping a range of non-Newtonian fluids, including slurries that don’t settle.
Determine the price of the system’s pipes and parts.
Use the Excel Export Manager to export Excel data after importing it into several scenarios.
