AFT - Version Fathom 12 -Steady State Pipe Flow Modeling Software
AFT Fathom is a fluid dynamic simulation software for engineers, used to calculate pressure drop and pipe 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
