Fluid Flow Mode

About Fluid Flow mode

Fluid Flow mode is a steady state simulator that models piping networks. You can switch to Fluid Flow mode on-the-fly by selecting Fluid Flow under the Mode section on the Application Ribbon. When you switch to Fluid Flow mode, the variable specification of equipment in your simulation will change according to the definition for each Model Type.

Concepts

• Create fluid flow simulations

• Switch fluid flow simulations to dynamic simulations

• Auto solve can be set to manual if solution time is slow, allowing you to make multiple changes

• Variable specifications switch along with the simulation mode, based on how they are configured for each Model Type

• Automatically calculate the size of an equipment in Fluid Flow mode and then specify that value in Process mode
