Flownex Simulation Environment including basic thermal fluid models
This is the basic Flownex steady state version. This configuration includes the ability to deal with both liquids and gasses and the ability to deal with adiabatic flows as well as flows with heat transfer. The network component models included in the standard version are reservoirs, pipes, ducts, pumps, fans, compressors, turbines, heat exchangers, valves and orifices. This configuration also includes visualization graphs, text outputs, result layers, data logger and result export to excel, Buttons, gauges, sliders etc. of visualisation is included as well as the ability to create compound components.
Advanced fluid thermal module
This configuration includes advanced features such as gas mixtures, homogeneous two phase flow, coupled heat transfer through solid structures, special components used in the design of turbo machinery such as rotating pipes and annulus. It also includes combustion modelling, the Script element and the Excel component.
Design and analysis module
This configuration includes advanced features such as the designer routine, stochastic routines used in probabilistic analyses (Sensitivity Analysis, Parametric Study). This capability can be applied to all libraries and on both steady state and transient modules.
Transient module
"The dynamic (transient) simulation features of Flownex include the following: The ability to start the simulation from steady-state or from specified initial conditions; Variable time-step sizes; Open loop events can be specified at different time steps (e.g. Varying or fixing of variables; Switching controllers on or off; etc.) and the plot values of multiple parameters are displayed on screen.
API module
The Flownex SE automation Application Programming Interface (API) provides the functionality to integrate and automate Flownex SE from most existing Windows applications, e.g. Word, Excel, etc. Any application that allows scripting of Component Object Model (COM), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) or ActiveX components can now integrate with Flownex SE. The API is also accessible to any .Net aware application.
Nuclear module
Nuclear models such as the Pebble bed reactor (Generation 2) and advanced pebble bed models (Generation 3)
Extendibility
User extendibility allows users to write their own libraries consisting of components, editors, links, solvers, etc. that interface seemlessly with Flownex Simulation Environment. These user extendable libraries can then interact with existing or future Flownex Simulation Environment libraries such as the transient, design and analysis modules.
Electrical module
Electrical library configuration includes admittance components (generators, motors, transformers, etc.), auxiliary components (base power, base voltage, synchronizer, etc.), nodes (bus, fixed voltage node, infinite grid, etc.) and switches such as a breaker.
Control module
Control library configuration includes analog components (controllers, Filters, Inputs and outputs IO, math functions and switches ), digital components (Counters, IO's, Logic, Switches and Timers) and some converters (analog to digital, digital to analog, integer to double, etc.)
EES module
EES library configuration includes a EES ( Engineering Equation Solver) component which gives Flownex the ability to communicate with EES and run co-simulations with EES. Please note that EES software is not included in the price.
