Add On Modules

Training by our professional staff helps you learn to make the best use of the software’s wide range of capabilities and modeling techniques. Our seminars review fundamental theory, basic through advanced techniques and hands-on modeling.

• Settling Slurries (SSL) – The only commercial software solution that can model both non-settling and settling slurry waterhammer effects.
• Pulsation Frequency Analysis (PFA) – Helps identify and avoid resonant frequencies in systems, especially in those caused by positive displacement pumps.
