Manual methods to abstract a 3D CAD description of a piping system into an equivalent 1D System Simulation circuit model entails manual measure and re-entry approaches that are time consuming and can be error prone. We will present a new highly automated approach where such a conversion can be achieved with just a few mouse clicks. Supporting all major CAD platforms, the CAD2FM (CAD to FloMASTER) workflow is available with FloMASTER V9.0. |
