Note that Flownet referenced in the study is the name of the older version of Flownex. Flownet was the name up to Flownet version 5. Then Flownex version 6 was developed that entailed a new generation Graphical User Interface that was more user friendly and powerful. Other enhancements were also made since then, however the solver and the original functionality was retained.
