(1:47) Learn about the AFT Impulse 8 new features including the Scenario Comparison tool, Multi-scenario Graphing, and how to enter unit vectors for Force Sets.

(2:16) This video introduces the new Scenario Comparison tool in AFT’s compressible pipe flow modeling software, AFT Arrow 8, as well as multi-level undo, workspace magnifier and Junction-Specific Parameters in Visual Report. 

(3:20) AFT Fathom 11 includes 30 new features and enhancements. This video demonstrates the top 4 new features which are: the Scenario Comparison tool, Multi-Scenario Pump vs. System Curves, Workspace Magnifier tool, and the Combine and Split Pipes function. View the full list here.

(5:03) Automatically size all piping and system components in an integrated manner to minimize weight and cost. This is done using advanced numerical searching algorithms available in the ANS module. Minimize your initial system costs without the legwork required for a cost database. Size an expansion for an existing system.

(5:46) Engineers can use the Automated Network Sizing (ANS) add-on module for AFT Fathom and AFT Arrow to automatically size their piping and ducting systems to reduce weight or energy cost. The software sizes your piping network as an integrated system to ensure you find better design combinations, all while maintaining your design requirements. ANS minimizes system costs such as pipe weight, surface area, or volume to avoid developing a monetary cost database. Use the module to automatically size an initial system while accounting for planned, future expansions. Or, size an expansion for an existing system.

(5:08) The AFT Scenario Manager is a powerful tool for managing variations of a model, referred to as scenarios. Using the AFT Scenario Manager feature, users can create new scenarios to examine “What if” situations without disturbing the basic model.

(3:26) Engineers use the Automated Network Sizing (ANS) add-on module for AFT Fathom and AFT Arrow to automatically size their piping and ducting systems to reduce weight or energy cost. The software sizes your piping network as an integrated system to ensure you find better design combinations, all while maintaining your design requirements. Even further, it uses design cases to size an initial system while anticipating different operating conditions or the increased flow requirements of future expansions.

(2:27) Using AFT Impulse hydraulic flow modeling and analysis tools, this video will teach you how to quickly determine the transient hydraulic forces caused by waterhammer and how to export them to a CAESAR II, TRIFLEX, or ROHR2 force file.

(5:45) This video will show you how to easily import .pcf files into the software from SmartPlant®, CADWorx®, AutoCAD Plant 3D . Users can also import piping layouts from CAESAR II® Neutral files and import/export EPANET

(5:01) The Global Edit feature is a really handy feature that allows the design engineer to make mass edits to pipes, junctions and other components.

(4:50) The Pump Selection features in AFT Fathom help engineers select pumps that appropriately meet the operating conditions on their pump in a much easier fashion. Users will be able to select a real pump curve from areal manufactures.
