Key Features

Thermo-fluid system simulation

Simulate systems of any size and complexity to optimize performance and ensure safe operation. Analyze dynamic behavior, model critical physical phenomena, and leverage real-time monitoring using the digital twin. Applications include industrial gas networks, cooling systems, Rankine cycle power generation, marine ballast systems, and large-scale distribution pipelines.

Early-stage design optimization

Accelerate development and reduce costs by simulating systems early in the design phase. Import geometry directly from P&ID, CAD, or GIS tools to quickly build models and perform rapid system sizing and balancing. Advanced post-processing tools provide immediate insights into system behavior, helping identify issues when changes are still cost-effective.

High-accuracy modeling

Best-in-class solvers and validated correlations ensure reliable simulation results. A comprehensive component library based on high-quality experimental data enables confident design and procurement decisions.

Detailed system design and analysis

Ensure safe and efficient operation under all scenarios with advanced transient simulation. Reuse early-stage models for detailed analyses, maintaining data continuity throughout the engineering process. Simulate critical events such as pump failures, valve closures, priming, blowdown, and venting, while capturing complex effects like pressure surges, cavitation, and gas compressibility.

Advanced physics capabilities

Model complex phenomena including non-Newtonian fluids, two-phase flows, and rotating machinery. All simulation capabilities are rigorously validated to ensure accuracy and consistency. This enables confident use of the digital twin across the entire system lifecycle for performance optimization and safety assurance.

Operations, maintenance, and optimization

Maximize return on investment by leveraging the digital twin throughout the system lifecycle. Use it to support procurement, commissioning, and operational decision-making. Connect the digital twin to control systems and industrial IoT platforms to enable real-time monitoring, improve operational insight, and enhance system efficiency and safety.
