BOSfluids 7.2 Improved PCF interface
Although BOSfluids already provided very good support for importing models from Piping Component Files (PCFs), the new release has even become better in this respect. In particular, BOSfluids now recognizes a wider variety of components in a PCF by interpreting the so-called SKEY tags. This means that importing models is now even more accurate and […]
BOSfluids 7.2 Improved Accuracy For Gas-Filled Systems
This new BOSfluids release significantly improves the accuracy of the steady-state solver for gas-filled systems by applying a recursive model refinement algorithm. This means that longer pipeline sections are automatically divided into smaller sections in order to account for gas density changes within the section. The model refinement happens completely within the solver so that […]
ISOtracer 2.5 Improved And More Efficient User Interface
The new ISOtracer 2.5 release again brings improvements to its user interface that help you build piping models more efficiently. One of the improvements concerns the addition of a new global preferences window that enables you to specify the default node number increment and the format to be used for displaying floating point numbers. This […]
BOSfluids 7.2 Improved performance on multi-core processors
While BOSfluids provides you with very fast flow solvers, the time required to run one or more analyses can never be short enough. The new BOSfluids release therefore comes with a new scheduling algorithm that ensures that all available processor cores are used in an optimal way,especially when transitioning from one simulation case to another. […]
BOSfluids 7.2 Extension Of The Components Database
The components database in BOSfluids 7.2 has been extended with support for storing element and node definitions. This means that you can easily share the specifications of flow equipment, including valves and pumps, between multiple projects and with your colleagues. You can save and load element and node definitions in the Model and Scenarios tab […]
BOSpulse 5.2 Support For Custom Allowable Limits
BOSpulse has, for some time, provided limited support for specifying alternative allowable limits for pressure pulsations. The BOSpulse 5.2 release takes this support to the next level by enabling you to specify custom limits for all allowable limits that are defined in the API 618 and API 674 standards. Those custom limits can be applied […]
BOSpulse 5.2 Support For The 6th Edition Of The API 618 Standard
The sixth and most recent edition of the API 618 standard is fully supported by the new BOSpulse release. Indeed, the updated allowable limits described by the sixth edition are now applied by default when you perform an API 618 analysis with BOSpulse. If desired, you can still choose to apply the allowable limits defined […]
BOSpulse 5.2 Improvement Of The Harmonic Solution Method
The harmonic flow solver that comes with BOSpulse has seen significant improvements regarding its accuracy, bringing it on par with the transient flow solver. As a consequence, you can speed up your pulsation analyses dramatically by switching from the transient solver to the harmonic solver. The harmonic solver now involves a non-linear solution method that […]
BOSfluids 7.2 Extension Of Special Flow Elements
This new BOSfluids release adds new features to various special flow elements. The Tank element type now supports the specification of a maximum liquid height. When the liquid level exceeds the maximum height, then the tank is assumed to overflow and will function as a fixed-pressure boundary condition. The Air Valve and Deluge Nozzle element […]
BOSfluids 7.2 Support For Fire Water Coverage Analyses
The Flood & Drain model that has recently been added to BOSfluids enables you to accurately simulate the filling of fire water systems. The new BOSfluids 7.2 release continues this development by adding support for performing fire water coverage analyses with an exceptionally high level of detail. This level of detail is possible because you […]
