Features
Everything you need to model, analyse, and document hydraulic systems in one tool.
Network Modelling
Multi-loop pipe networks
Model complex looped networks with automatic flow distribution and pressure balancing using iterative solvers.
Branched and series networks
Handle simple branched systems and series pipe runs with the same unified modelling interface.
Demand and supply nodes
Define flow demand points and supply sources with pressure or flow boundary conditions.
Components
Pipes and fittings
Full library of pipe sizes, schedules, and materials with automatic friction factor calculation (Darcy-Weisbach, Hazen-Williams).
Pumps and pump curves
Import or define pump H-Q curves, model operating points, and evaluate parallel and series configurations.
Valves and control elements
Model gate valves, check valves, control valves, and pressure regulators with resistance coefficients or Cv values.
Tanks and reservoirs
Define fixed-head or variable-level tanks as boundary conditions within the hydraulic network.
Analysis
Pressure drop calculation
Compute friction losses, minor losses, and elevation effects across every element in the network.
Scenario comparison
Define multiple operating scenarios (normal, peak, emergency) and compare results side by side.
Firewater demand analysis
Model simultaneous demand cases for firewater systems in compliance with NFPA and other standards.
Reporting
Structured calculation reports
Export formatted engineering reports with input data, assumptions, results, and network diagrams.
Results export
Export tabular results to spreadsheet formats for further analysis or client deliverables.
Audit trail
Maintain a clear record of model inputs and calculation basis for engineering review and approval.
