AFT Fathom is fluid dynamic simulation software for engineers, used to calculate pressure drop and flow distribution in liquid and low velocity gas piping and ducting systems.

    Accurately simulate individual system components and interaction
    Tightly integrates equipment characteristics, analysis and output with your system’s schematic representation
    Provides a wide array of features without sacrificing your need for a short learning curve
    Frees you to focus on your system, not the mechanics of software manipulation
    Significantly improves the quality of systems engineering you can achieve, leading to less costly, more efficient and more reliable piping systems

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
    Vary your system line-up: open / close pipes and valves, turn pumps on or off, set control valves to fail position
    Specify alerts that automatically highlight output values that are out of range for flow, pressure, velocity, pump efficiency and more
    Select pumps from online manufacturer catalogs
    Compile catalogs of your frequently used piping components and select them from a drop-down list
    Address the viscosity and frictional changes associated with pumping non-settling slurries and a variety of other non- Newtonian fluids
    Calculate the cost of system pipes and components
    Clearly import Excel data into multiple scenarios and export with the Excel Export Manager.
    Import piping layouts and dimensional data from GIS shapefiles, EPANET files, CAESAR II Neutral files and Piping Component Files (*.pcf). from SmartPlant®, CADWorx® and AutoCAD Plant 3D, and others.
