AFT Impulse offers the ease-of-use of a drag and drop interface and built in waterhammer modeling expertise. AFT Impulse helps you design and operate your systems with greater reliability and safety by avoiding the potentially catastrophic effects of waterhammer and other undesirable system transients.
AFT Impulse provides a built-in library of fluids and fittings, variable model configurations, pump and control valve modeling and much more. Multiple system configurations varying by any modeling parameter are easily managed within a single model file with a familiar hierarchical interface. Changes in the base model are automatically inherited by alternate design cases.
AFT Impulse incorporates a steady state solver providing seamless transfer of initial conditions to the transient analysis. Modeling vapor cavitations and liquid column separation, the effect of pressure surges due to vapor cavity collapse may be evaluated. Transients can be initiated based on time or on events in the system.
Applications
Identify Pressure Extremes:
With its extensive output reporting, AFT Impulse clearly identifies when and where maximum and minimum pressure occurs.
Model system Operation:
For Systems you are operating, the benefits of an AFT Impulse simulation also include convenience and safety. Able to quickly and easily change system configuration and conditions, including valve positions, pump operation, control set points, pressures, temperatures and more, an AFT Impulse model gives you the freedom to determine the best and safest operating procedures.
Understand the Transient Response of Your System:
Knowing how the numerous valves, pumps and other components in your system will dynamically react with each other provides key insight to improving your design and avoiding catastrophic failures.
Size and locate Surge Suppression Equipment:
Knowing your need surge suppression equipment is only the beginning. To be effective it must be properly sized and located. With its flexible graphical interface and built-in surge suppression equipment modeling tools, AFT impulse provides the capabilities you need for this critical design task
System Requirements:
- Windows 95 & higher or NT 4.0 & higher
