- New pipe models for polymer pipes and non-Newtonian fluids
- FMI import to extend simulation capabilities
- Side-by-side install of different software versions
- Live sensors to easily visualize any results
For Simcenter Flomaster™ software 2020.1, a new pipe model enables the simulation of visco-elastic and non-Newtonian behavior. The first capability allows the user to accurately model the nonlinear response of polymer pipes to a pressure surge event while the second responds to the need of industry to model the non-Newtonian behavior of a variety of fluids like slurries, blood and apple sauce, just to cite a few.
To boost collaboration and efficiency, Simcenter Flomaster 2020.1 offers an enhanced user experience. Simcenter Flomaster 2020.1 includes Functional Mock-Up Interface (FMI) import for model exchange and co-simulation, further extending its interoperability solutions. Additionally, the new side-by-side install allows users to run different Simcenter Flomaster versions on the same client. Users can now start new projects taking advantage of the new capabilities of the latest version, while maintaining approved versions for old projects. Furthermore, this new version extends the work done on visual physics by introducing live sensors. With live sensors it is possible to display any result at discrete points of the network using numeric results, linear meters or gauges. This allows users to understand the system behavior at a glance.
