Drastically Reduce Pressure Drop

Identify and eliminate flow path inefficiencies that lead to energy loss. Visualize flow behavior to pinpoint problematic areas and achieve significant pressure drop reductions.

Accurately Predict Cv Curves

Select the perfect valve sizing for any application. Simulate multiple opening/closing positions simultaneously to automatically plot full valve performance curves in minutes.

Eliminate Water Hammer

Prevent damaging pressure waves and ensure system stability. Understand how fluid motion changes suddenly and design valves to mitigate this critical risk.

Identify & Mitigate Cavitation Risk

Improve valve effectiveness and prevent costly failures. Pinpoint and address flow regions with high cavitation risk to optimize valve lifespan and performance.

Avoid high-speed choke

Ensure smooth, uninterrupted gas flow. Perform fluid dynamic  analysis to prevent flow velocity from matching the speed of sound, avoiding system blockages.

Optimize Weight & Maintain Strength

Achieve the ideal balance of material efficiency and structural integrity. Identify high and low stress concentrations to inform smarter, lighter designs that withstand internal pressure and thermal loads
