hi Akif Ozmen
you can do the flow modeling for compressible fluids
with help of AFT arrow from applied flow technology
us.

Is there any software package dealing with cryogenic
fluids piping. For example LIN (Liquid Nitrogen) LOX
(Liquid Oxygen), LNG (Liquid Natural Gas).
Thanks,

Subject: RE: [PipingDesign] ALGOR
Information on PipePak - Much better value if your
needs are met. Ceasar has some capabilities that not
many people use.
This core package provides piping system designers and
engineers with a tool for defining complete piping
systems and performing structural analysis in
compliance with industry-standard piping codes.
PipePak's capabilities for design, analysis,
validation and reporting enable engineers to create
better, more reliable piping systems faster.
In addition, this core package includes capabilities
for designing beam/truss models for static stress
analysis using a precision finite element
model-building tool and FEMPRO, an easy-to-use, single
user interface for finite element modeling, results
evaluation and presentation.
