Flowmaster V7 General Systems

System Modelling

• Large library of component models underpinned by empirical research data, including Loss Data from DS Miller.
• Smart Modelling tools which help prevent users from connecting incompatible components and use colour coded data entry fields to highlight required information.
• Flow balancing module for optimising component sizes around your system providing valuable cost savings and promoting greater performance efficiency.
• Custom component creation for developing a catalogue of components and sub-systems specifically for an organisation, including images to represent the component in the model.
• Transient and steady state simulation of Compressible and incompressible systems with Heat transfer analysis options.
• Variable Parameter functionality for running parametric studies from either within Flowmaster or via third party software using open API’s.

Design Collaboration & Secure Data Management

• Audit trail & tracking of model history functionality keeps track of design changes and associated data, offering the user the ability to ‘roll back’ to previous versions to quickly compare results from different designs, saving valuable modelling time.
• User group administration tools allowing for the creation of project teams with difference access privileges to Flowmaster data.
• Securely store legacy data in an industry standard relational database. Store, share and track data securely, allowing for greater collaboration across project teams.
• Database synchronisation tool allow users to ‘check out’ Flowmaster networks from a central database enabling users to work away from the central Flowmaster server. Useful when working on site with clients.

Ease Of Use

• Intuitive graphical user interface featuring validated data entry, reducing margin for error; optimising accuracy of results first time.
• Advanced design visualisation tools including the ability to add background images and use layers to help both users and non-users understand complex systems.
• Dynamic Colourisation shows temperature, pressure and flow rate changes on charts and by component colour changes as a simulation runs.
• Flexible post-processing tools allow results from multiple simulations to be compared easily in the time and frequency domain.
• Non-western character support for users of non-Latin alphabets supported by Microsoft® Windows Vista® and XP®, including Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Indic, Japanese and Korean.
• Resizable Component Symbols allows resizing according to the applied context and also makes it possible to view high definition components in more detail.
• ‘Rendering Configuration’ Dialogue to allow user defined graphical display options for faster refresh, redraw and manipulation of large complex networks.
  

Integration

Open API Structure for integrating with existing design and manufacturing software systems or for co-simulate with other leading CAE/CFD tools such as MATLAB®, STAR-CD, FLUENT®, iSIGHT and Microsoft Excel.
