Applied Flow Technology is proud to release a new version of AFT Impulse, now at version 5. AFT Impulse 5 encapsulates all of the new interface and navigational enhancements from AFT Fathom 8, as well as a considerable breadth of new and improved technical features.
One such feature is our newly enhanced Relief Valve Junction. A relief valve can still be modeled as Internal, Exit, or Inline Exit, but we now offer four unique opening/closing profiles as well. With these new profiles, you can now directly model many specialty valves which were previously difficult to model accurately!
Another very useful enhancement to Impulse 5 is the ability to overlay the junction labels on a profile plot, as shown below.
AFT Impulse 5 includes many additional new features and enhancements including a new Weir Junction, and the ability to lock network model files that are in use. For a full list of the new features found in AFT Impulse 5, click here.
