Flownex Simulation Environment

Flownex Boasts New Powerful Features and Capabilities:

The new release of Flownex SE has many new features, capabilities, improvements and updates. Some of the new enhancements include:

K Factor Calculator

The K factor calculator is a tool that allows users to seamlessly calculate and add the summation of the secondary losses in a pipeline, i.e. bends, valves, restrictors, etc.

Genetic Algorithm Based Optimizer

The Genetic algorithm based optimizer (GA optimizer) provides a robust method to minimize or maximize component or system parameters.  It uses an iterative intelligent search algorithm that iteratively works to an optimised solution.

Automatic Network Generator

An automatic network generator from an MS Excel spreadsheet has been developed and implemented into Flownex SE. The network importing functionality allows user to define network parameters in MS Excel and automatically generate Flownex networks from the specified cell data.

ASPEN Fluid Importer

The ASPEN fluid importer gives users the ability to add any fluids and mixtures of fluids generated in ASPEN 7.1 or later, this allows users to seamlessly integrate predefined fluids into Flownex with the user friendly ASPEN fluid generator built into Flownex.

Bug Fixes & Updates

Complete lists of  updates and fixes in Flownex SE and detailed descriptions of all the new enhancements can be seen in the Flownex SE 8.012 Release notes, available with in the Flownex install.

DHIO - Center for Excellence, Bangalore - has recently been appointed as the Flownex agents for the India market.

Considered a ‘Best in Class’ CAE analysis and optimization solution, Flownex SE has been invited to present at the Penang & Singapore Simulation Solutions Days in 2010.

2009 was a year of rapid change for most industries, with the evolving economy and a new dynamic in the global manufacturing marketplace. Companies everywhere are looking for a competitive advantage and new ways to add value to their products and services through use of the latest technology.

Simulation software tools are an important and increasingly essential part of the design process and Product Lifecycle Management. The requirements for shorter design cycles with increasing pressures on cost, efficiency, quality and reliability, demand the use of new tools and techniques. The most effective strategy to meet these multiple and often conflicting goals is the adoption of Simulation Driven Design.

PD Solutions is pleased to introduce a series of ‘Best in Class’ CAE analysis and optimization solutions, with original presentations from leading software providers

Flownex Reviewed by DEVELOP3D

Article introduction

When developing thermal fluid systems it’s often hard to find the balance between simplicity and power. Al Dean looks at a system that offers all the benefits of a schematic design tool but backs them up with solid engineering know-how.

Review Conclusion

In summary, Flownex is a simple, but effective tool for system CFD thermal fluid network design and optimisation. It takes the simplicity of a generic schematic design tool and backs it up with solid engineering calculations all in the same environment, integrated with controller and electrical components. Then, if the engineer wishes to increase its power and extend its reach further, it can also be integrated with actual plant controllers to bring the actual interlocks and control response into the engineering model that can be used for example to evaluate control philosophies and operator procedures.
