AFT Arrow 8

AFT Arrow is a fluid dynamic simulation tool used to calculate pressure drop and flow distribution in gas piping and ducting systems.

• Accurately simulate individual components and their interaction including effects of heat transfer, real gases and choked flow
• Tightly integrate equipment characteristics, analysis and output with your system’s schematic representation
• Utilize a wide array of features without sacrificing your need for a short learning curve
• Compare the performance of new designs and assure all design requirements are met.
• Identify and correct operational problems in installed systems
• Significantly improve the quality of systems engineering and produces less costly, more efficient and more reliable piping systems.
• Clearly import Excel data into multiple scenarios and export with the Excel Export Manager

Capabilities

• Experiment with operating conditions and scenarios
• Easily change system input data, including valve positions, pump operation, control set points, pressures, temperatures and more
• Model a wide range of system components for both design and operational cases
• Simulate ideal or real gases
• Choose between isothermal, adiabatic or generalized heat transfer conditions
• Vary your system lineup: open and close pipes and valves, turn compressors or fans on or off, set control valves to fail position
• Conduct flow analysis with high velocities including sonic choking
• Compile database libraries of your frequently used components and quickly select them from a drop down list
• Assemble non-reacting mixtures and analyze dynamic mixing resulting from intersecting flow streams
• Model and analyze rotating piping systems such as those found in steam and gas turbines
• Model effects of elevation changes such as in tall structures, subsurface mines and overland pipelines
• Evaluate codes and industry standards applied in the model
• 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
