Capabilities
| Rating (Performance Analysis) |
| Calculation of flow
rate
Calculation of pressure loss
System curve generation
Prediction of cavitations
Calculation of power/energy
Calculation of pipe diameter |
|
Features
| Supports up to 1000
pipes
Supports up to 500 loss types per pipe
Grouping into pipe types makes the analysis of
complicated systems
very easy (pipes of the same type have equal diameter and
roughness values) |
