Flowmaster

Do you work with complex fluid systems? Do you need to model complex hydraulics, flow rates or pressure changes?

Flowmaster enables Engineers to model, simulate and analyse fluid systems for Pressure, Temperature and Flow-Rate, simulating even the most complex systems quickly and easily.

As Engineers, we tend to often focus on the detail.  Whether it’s the pressure-drop across a valve or the heat-flow through a heat-sink – the process of designing and analysing these types of components today is simpler, faster and more cost-effective through readily available - and established - tools like FEA and CFD.  The truth is that seldom are these components acting alone, but rather form part of a bigger assembly or system.  It is also common for these assemblies or systems to contribute to a larger network of systems.  Suddenly, it becomes apparent that the design of a component’s characteristics will impact on the behaviour of a potentially complex system.  This is where Flowmaster comes in.

Flowmaster is a 1-D system simulation tool that allows you to model and accurately analyse Thermo-Fluid systems.  It allows you to lay out components and connect them together to create your system – much like you would in a schematic diagram. It has a comprehensive library of pre-configured components you can use, or you can create your own.  Then it’s just a matter of defining the characteristics of your components and deciding what type of simulation you would like to do…

Flowmaster can simulate Steady-State and Transient effects for Compressible and Incompressible flows. Heat Transfer can also be simulated.

Benefits

Faster, more accurate concepts and designs, particularly at the early stages of a project when technical aspects of a tender have to be as accurate as possible, without delving into detail design.

Reduce the reliance on hand calculations or rules of thumb approaches to network design.  Flowmaster is based on DS Miller's Internal Flow Systems and is the standard reference for Engineers.
