Pipe Network Flow Analysis Using Real-world 3D Geometry

Feature: Interfaces with CAD and Piping Stress


Interface with CAD

Bentley PlantFLOW is the industry's only pipe flow analysis software that provides the option to utilize detailed 3D geometry/graphics. The different methods include:  

  • Create it directly in Bentley PlantFLOW
  • Import a model from Bentley AutoPIPE (bi-directional integration is supported between these two applications)
  • Import from CAD systems such as Bentley's Physical Design products, or Intergraph's PDS. Not only can these interfaces save time in building flow models, they also ensure data integrity between the flow, stress, and design models of your system.

Additional Features:

  1. Graphical Review of Analysis Results
  2. Creation and Modification of Piping Flow Model
  3. Flexible 2D or 3D Drawing Modes
  4. Thermodynamics Integrated with Flow Equations
  5. Interfaces with CAD and Piping Stress
  6. Built-in Libraries
