AFT Fathom is a fluid dynamic simulation software for engineers, used to calculate pressure drop and pipe flow distribution in liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems.

Accurately simulate individual system components and interaction

Tightly integrates equipment characteristics, analysis and output with your system's schematic representation

Provides a wide array of features without sacrificing your need for a short learning curve

Frees you to focus on your system, not the mechanics of software manipulation

Significantly improves the quality of systems engineering you can achieve, leading to less costly, more efficient and more reliable piping systems

Experiment with operating conditions and scenarios

Easily change system input data, including valve positions, pump operation, control set points, pressures, temperatures, and more

Model a wide range of system components for both design and operational cases

Vary your system line-up: open/close pipes and valves, turn pumps on or off, set control valves to fail position

Specify design alerts that automatically highlight output values that are out of range for flow, pressure, velocity, pump efficiency, and more

Find pump data from online manufacturer catalogs

Compile libraries of your frequently used piping components and select them from a drop-down list

Address the viscosity and frictional changes associated with pumping non-settling slurries and a variety of other non-Newtonian fluids

Evaluate codes and industry standards applied in the model

Calculate the cost of system pipes and components as well as energy cost

Import piping layouts from:

CAESAR II® Neutral files supported by AutoPIPE®, ROHR2, TRIFLEX®, etc.

PCF Files supported by AutoCAD Plant 3D®, SmartPlant®, CADWorx®, and other GIS shapefiles supported by ArcGis, etc.

Import and export files in EPANET format

Clearly import Excel data into multiple scenarios and export with the Excel Export Manager

Export data to evaluate Flow Induced Vibration (FIV) according to Energy Institute Standards

Primary Features of AFT Fathom 13:

Track all your design variants and potential operating conditions in a single file with Scenario Manager

Use integrated, customizable graphing and reporting to make analysis visually intuitive

Evaluate Pump and System curve interaction including composite head and efficiency curve

Calculate the capital costs of pipes and components as well as operating energy expenses

Leverage built-in libraries of fluids and fittings to build your own database upon

Consider viscosity and frictional effects from non-Newtonian viscosity models or non-settling slurries

Model your centrifugal and positive displacement pumps to account for

Shifting performance curves through variable speed control and impeller trimming

Viscosity corrections using standards from the Hydraulic Institute

Wire-to-water efficiency including pump, motor and variable frequency drive efficiencies, used to size motors and evaluate power usage

Acceleration head loss for positive displacement pumps

NPSH evaluation

Size motors and evaluate power usage by considering wire-to-water efficiency (including pump, motor and VFD efficiencies)

Account for heat transfer effects in pipes and heat exchangers

Ensure a design adheres to industry standards such as API 526, ANSI/HI 9.6.3, API 610, or NFPA Standards

Import piping layouts from CAESAR II® Neutral files, PCF Files, and GIS shapefiles regardless of source

Integrate with Excel to import model data and export output data

Built-in libraries of fluids (including NIST REFPROP and ASME Steam Tables) and fittings which can be extended and customized

Optional Chempak add-on utility provides a thermophysical database of almost 700 fluids
