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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
BOSfluids 7.2 Improved And More Efficient User Interface

This new BOSfluids release again brings many small and large improvements to its user interface that help you perform flow analyses 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 […]

In this video we explore a variety of exciting new functionalities, from expanded database categories to performance upgrades for simulations and the introduction of a fire water module. […]
BOSfluids 7.2: Improved Management of Scenarios

BOSfluids 7.2 comes with significant improvements to scenario management. These includes a complete redesign of the Scenarios dialog box which now shows a concise and clear overview of all differences between scenarios in a tabular format. The rows in this table are associated with the scenarios and the columns are associated with model parameters that […]
Building Realistic Piping Models Using Only BOSfluids

Traditionally, process and surge flow analysis for piping systems rely on network models. These models simplify the complexity of piping systems but can make it difficult to see how they relate to the actual physical setup. BOSfluids addresses this issue by allowing you to model a piping system both as a network model and as […]
