Overview of AFT Fathom

This fluid dynamic simulation software allows engineers to calculate the distribution of pressure drop and pipe flow in liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems.

It accurately simulates individual system components and interactions & tightly integrates equipment characteristics, analysis, and output with your system’s schematic representation.

The program 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.

Moreover, it significantly improves the quality of systems engineering you can achieve, leading to less costly, more efficient, and more reliable piping systems.

Features of AFT Fathom

Experiment with operating conditions and scenarios

Easily change system input data, including valve positions, pump operation, control set points, pressures, temperatures, and more

GIS shapefiles supported by ArcGis and others

Import and export files in EPANET format

Excel integration supporting data import and export

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

Import Excel data into multiple scenarios and export with the Excel Export Manager.
