Dynamic Analysis & Scripting

Scripting offers the ability to develop real-time analysis of plant and systems from within the FluidFlow interface. The powerful dynamic simulation capabilities ensure you develop a thorough understanding of how your system operates in real-world scenarios. Engineers are able to set scenarios via Pascal or Basic in a similar way to how a macro works in Excel. Scripting removes the guesswork from your what-if analysis.

FluidFlow is used by engineers to:

•  Study how any flow system behaves at start up/shut down as operating conditions change.
• Evaluate variable speed pump control.
• Investigate tank fill/drain times.
• Develop system control philosophies.
• Consider plant depressurisation.
• Establish control valve performance for different system control philosophies.
• Review plant pressure conditions as demand profiles vary.
• Optimize system operating performance.
• Analyze system pressure conditions arising from component failure.

Features:

• Read-in design operating conditions from Excel and integrate with FluidFlow.
• Export table of calculated results to Excel for wide range of design conditions.
• Plot graphs within FluidFlow and Excel.
• Optimization of system performance through automation of pumps/fans.
• Estimate system pipe volumes.
• Determine pipes operating above/below a desired flow velocity.
