Ideal for cooling water systems, steam distribution, ventilation (HVAC), and fuel gas networks.
: Specialized for analyzing dynamic flow events, including water hammer, steam hammer, and control system modeling. It calculates hydraulic transient forces for pipe stress analysis, supports simulation of fill/drain systems, and handles transient analysis for subsea and cross-country pipelines.
PIPENET 1.11: The Definitive Guide to Fluid Flow and Network Analysis pipenet 1.11
, specifically designed to handle complex fluid dynamics. Key highlights include: Discrete Gas Cavity Model (DGCM):
: Designed for solving general steady-state flow problems involving liquids, gases, or steam. Applications include cooling water systems, steam distribution networks, HVAC systems, water distribution, fuel gas systems, and chilled water systems. It handles pipe sizing, pump selection, and system balancing calculations. PIPENET 1
Pipenet 1.11 was a breakthrough because it democratized the Hardy Cross method and Newton-Raphson solvers. Prior to this version, hydraulic analysis required manual calculations or expensive mainframe access. Version 1.11 offered a stable, GUI-driven interface that allowed engineers to model complex networks without learning a proprietary scripting language. It became the standard for fire safety verification under NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and British Standards (BS 5306).
Simulates pumps, filters, nozzles, valves, and complex ducting layouts. It handles pipe sizing, pump selection, and system
: Includes a built-in dedicated component to calculate non-standard valve geometry losses directly.
: All calculation elevation errors and warnings are now clearly reported rather than just the first one. UI/UX Updates
The Standard module is the bread and butter of the suite. Version 1.11 allows engineers to:
