Configure Pipe Flow Units
Choose the units that you want to work in for each field type. The units can all be set to metric or imperial on mass, or can be configured on an item by item basis as required.
|

Pipe Flow Expert Results shown in Drawing Pane
When the system is solved the chosen results labels are shown on the drawing, such that the flow or velocity of fluid in each pipe can be seen. In results mode, you can hover over an item to display its results. For example hovering over a pump, shows the pump head produced, the NPSHa available, etc.

Results Grid
The results grid shows a spreadsheet table of results for pipes, nodes, pumps, fittings, and overall system data. The data in the grid can be also exported to an excel spreadsheet with just one mouse click.
