Applied Flow Technology Impulse 8.0.1100.0 Build 2020.08.10 | 371.4 mb
ATF announced the release of Impulse 8, the industry-leading software to simulate and analyze waterhammer in piping systems. In this release numerous usability enhancements are offered which makes engineers better equipped than ever to tackle demanding waterhammer transient design and operational tasks.

In total there are almost 30 new and enhanced features in AFT Impulse 8, here are the top 5 engineers will want to use: - Multi-Scenario Comparison: Data can be compared between multiple scenarios to show changes made - Single or multiple transient Force Sets can be defined directly from the Workspace - Multi-level undo and redo on the Workspace - New capability to model unsteady friction - New pump four-quadrant curves added - Forces can be shown on the Visual Report Waterhammer analysis tools of the past have been noted for being difficult to use and requiring extensive specialized knowledge. As a result, this critical aspect of piping system design and operation has often been overlooked. But no longer. AFT Impulse offers the ease-of-use of a drag-and-drop interface and built-in waterhammer modeling expertise. AFT Impulse helps you design and operate your systems with greater reliability and safety by avoiding the potentially catastrophic effects of waterhammer and other undesirable system transients. Piping systems engineers typically do not have the time to become specialists in waterhammer modeling. Now they don't have to. Now they can be equipped with the proper tools to design and analyze for waterhammer transients in liquid systems containing water, petroleum and chemical products, cryogens, refrigerants and more. Waterhammer specialists will find a no compromise tool capable of modeling a broad range of waterhammer events, including transient cavitation and various surge suppression devices. AFT Impulse provides a built-in library of fluids and fittings, variable model configurations, pump and control valve modeling and much more. Scenario Manager raises the what-if potential of waterhammer modeling to a new level. Multiple system configurations varying by any modeling parameter are easily managed within a single model file with a familiar hierarchical interface. Changes in the base model are automatically inherited by alternate design cases.[/center]
