The upgrade includes improved speed and the support of fan curves as well as the addition of an engineering calculator for solving basic engineering fluid-flow equations. The software has been configured for the design engineer rather than for a specialist, so it translates analysis jargon into straightforward engineering terminology. An automatic, adaptive grid-generation procedure frees users from the need to generate meshes. SP Pressure Drop 5.0 calculates the friction-caused pressure drop of flowing liquids and gases in pipes and pipe elements. The program contains several databases of the needed liquid and gas properties.
Users can edit the database.
The software also can calculate the volume of the pipe and predict filling time. GT Strudl is computer-aided engineering software that has the ability to graphically model finite element and framed structures, to perform advanced static, dynamic, and nonlinear analyses, and to structurally design steel and reinforced concrete structures. It also includes a structural database management feature.
