Simcenter Flomaster fact sheet

A short three-page fact sheet on Simcenter FloMaster, the Siemens tool for one-dimensional simulation of thermofluid systems. It explains how system-level simulation is used to size and balance gas, liquid and two-phase networks early in design, and how the same model can stay in use once the plant is running.

What the document covers

• Sizing individual components and balancing whole systems under different operating conditions
• Transient solvers for analysing the physical phenomena that affect safe operation
• Built-in correlations and ready-to-use components characterised with data from a standard internal flow reference (Internal Flow Systems)
• Fluid property import through CAPE-OPEN, FMI support and interfaces to 3D CFD for characterising bespoke components and for co-simulation
• Reuse of the engineering-phase digital twin for virtual sensing and online monitoring, with OPC UA, MQTT and Industrial Edge connectivity
• Design exploration to visualise trade-offs between competing objectives and constraints

Who it is for

Fluid systems and thermal engineers, plant designers and operations teams working on cooling, heating, product transport, energy and safety systems in any industry.
