AFT Fathom is fluid dynamic simulation software for engineers, used to calculate pressure drop and pipe flow distribution in liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems.
Accurately simulate individual system components and interaction
Tightly integrates equipment characteristics, analysis and output with your system’s schematic representation
Provides a wide array of features without sacrificing your need for a short learning curve
Frees you to focus on your system, not the mechanics of software manipulation
Significantly improves the quality of systems engineering you can achieve, leading to less costly, more efficient and more reliable piping systems
Capabilities
Experiment with operating conditions and scenarios
Easily change system input data, including valve positions, pump operation, control set points, pressures, temperatures and more
Import piping layouts from
CAESAR II® Neutral files supported by AutoPIPE®, ROHR2, TRIFLEX®, and others
PCF Files supported by AutoCAD Plant 3D®, SmartPlant®, CADWorx® and others
GIS shapefiles supported by ArcGis and others
Import and export files in EPANET format
Excel integration supporting data import and export
Model a wide range of system components for both design and operational cases
Vary your system line-up: open / close pipes and valves, turn pumps on or off, set control valves to fail position
Specify alerts that automatically highlight output values that are out of range for flow, pressure, velocity, pump efficiency and more
Select pumps from online manufacturer catalogs
Compile catalogs of your frequently used piping components and select them from a drop-down list
Address the viscosity and frictional changes associated with pumping non-settling slurries and a variety of other non- Newtonian fluids
Calculate the cost of system pipes and components
Clearly import Excel data into multiple scenarios and export with the Excel Export Manager.
