Re: Software for transient analysis.

Panjak,

I have been using AFT Impulse for many years and find it extremely user friendly. Also it was prepared by engineers for engineers. It handles Non Newtonian fluids such as paper stock, slurries with Bingham plastic or power law properties, waxy crudes etc.

the dynamic representation of the transient property in time is useful in showing clients the behaviour of the system.

More info on www.aft.com

Pankaj,
I like BOS Fluids, but then that's probably because I'm one of the authors.
It reads in CAESAR files and writes output unbalanced loads to be used back
in a CAESAR analysis. It addresses water and steamhammer analysis, and does
API 618 recip compressor, and API 674 recip pump code compliance and analysis, but because it was written by a collection of pipe stress engineers it's sole reason for existance is to analyze transients as they
relate to plastic and metal piping systems. From what I've seen of AFT it
definitely has alot more "fluid-related" design features and is a good package too. It depends on what you need. Regards,
Tony Paulin
