The Settling Slurry Module (SSL) for AFT Fathom and AFT Impulse has long been used to model complex systems with settling slurries in a range of industries. Previously all slurry models were variations of the Wilson, Addie, Clift method requiring differing levels of user input to use. The release of AFT Fathom 13 and AFT Impulse 10 has brought with...

Much can be done to reduce model run times, but it's a fact of life with transient simulations that some systems are just large and complex, need to cover longer spans of time, or have dynamics that can only be accurately captured with finer sectioning. In such cases, long run times can be unavoidable. Have you ever needed to pause a lengthy s...

The release of AFT xStream 3 brings with it reciprocating compressors for your gas transient models! Positive displacement compressors now have two subtypes: fixed flow rate for a steady mass or volumetric flow rate, as was present previously, and the all-new reciprocating compressor option. The reciprocating compressor model is for compressors in ...

We are excited to share Workspace Layers, a new feature for the Applied Flow Technology software suite that you'll be working with soon! A group of layers is like a stack of transparencies. Each layer displays specific, customizable information and together they combine to form the Workspace view for your model. This is concept is much like Adobe P...
