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.
Features Home Page - https://www.aft.com/products/
- Advanced hydraulic solver
- Detailed modeling for centrifugal and positive displacement pumps
- Scenario Manager to track all design variants and operational possibilities in a single model file
- Pump vs. system curve generation including individual head curves and composite efficiency
- Thermal analysis including piping heat transfer and heat exchanger modeling
- Supports Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, including non-settling slurries
- Optional ChempakTM add-on utility provides a thermophysical database of almost 700 fluids
AFT Fathom add-on modules
- Settling Slurry (SSL) - models the effects of pumping fluids containing settling solids using the Wilson/GIW method
- Extended Time Simulation (XTS) - models dynamic system behavior
- Goal Seek and Control (GSC) - identifies input parameters that yield desired output values and simulates control functions
- Automated Sizing (APS and ANS) - automate the process of sizing pipelines and piping networks based on required conditions, such as maximum pressure or minimum flow, to reduce cost or weight
