Overview
|
Today’s train operating companies whether running urban trams, metros, mainline trains or freight trains require reliable, comfortable, high capacity services that can adapt to varying passenger/freight flow.
Flowmaster is a solution that enables the train engineer to simulate and fully understand the performance of the trains various fluid and thermal systems, with the aim of reducing the amount of physical testing and improving reliability.

Train thermal fluid systems and hydraulic systemsUsing Flowmaster the train engineer can simulate:
- Traction unit cooling systems – (Diesel Engines or Electric Motor)
- Passenger compartment heating and ventilation systems
- Vapour cycle Air conditioning systems
- Lubrication systems
- Hydraulic actuation and control for safety systems / anti-buckling systems
- Driver cabin heating & ventilation systems.

|
Siemens integrate Flowmaster® into their Rail Transportation Design
|
| Simulation gives Siemens Transportation Systems the opportunity to shorten their product development cycle by reducing the number of physical tests and enhancing internal and external communication with suppliers. The use of Flowmaster at Siemens Transportation Systems Trains will be expanded to other system engineering departments and there is an ongoing strategy to implement Flowmaster into the whole product development cycle, from first concept stage to final detail engineering. |
