Fathom Settling Slurry Module Released |
Applied Flow Technology is pleased to announce the release of the Settling Slurry module (SSL) for AFT Fathom,
bringing the powerful capabilities of the leading incompressible pipe flow modeling tool to this
challenging arena of piping and pumping system design and simulation.
Using state-of-the-art correlations the SSL Add-on module for AFT Fathom let's you:
- Enter properties of solids particles and optionally keep these in a reusable and sharable database.
- Include slurry pump de-rating using either the Warman or ANSI/HI methods.
- Display special output reports with im, jm, settling velocity, slurry volume and mass flows and other slurry specific parameters.
- Generate special slurry system curves, critical to understanding important system velocity limits.
The SSL module allows specification of slurry data over a range of detail suitable for preliminary system
design where only preliminary slurry properties are known to analyses with a detailed specification of solids and
fluid properties are available.
For additional details, view the brochure or to download the latest AFT Fathom demo that includes
settling slurry examples, please visit the Fathom Slurry Module page.

Export Input and Output Data to MS Excel
Applicable to: AFT Arrow, AFT Fathom, AFT Impulse, AFT Mercury, AFT Titan
While reference is made to MS Excel, this is applicable in principal to most any spreadsheet.
Exporting to Excel has number of potential uses including; facilitating input or output data comparison
across multiple models files or scenarios using Excel formulas, post analysis calculations,
specialized graphing or inclusion into an Excel based report.
There are basically two ways to export to Excel;
1) Using File/Export Model Data... when the Model Data window is active or, when the Output window is active,
using File/Export Output..., or
2) Copying a select area of the Model Data or Output window and pasting into Excel.
When using the first option the Export Model Data window or Export Output window will appear where you can select
which portions of Model Data or Output to include in the exported file as well selecting the format;
comma, space or tab separated. Clicking OK will then save the file in the location and with the name
you specify as a delimited text file. To open in Excel, go to File/Open and, from the Files of type
drop down list, select *.txt, then browse to and select your exported file.
For the second option, you can select from the Model Data or Output window either by clicking
into a single cell, a row, a column or an entire section. For example, to select the entire
Pipes section click Pipe in the upper left hand corner. Once the desired area is selected,
press Ctl+c, then click into your spreadsheet and press Ctl+v.
While AFT software provie for a large amount of customization of the Model Data and Output windows,
exporting to Excel can nicely augment this by providing the free form style of a spreadsheet
to meet unique requirements.
