Description
AFT Fathom is fluid dynamic simulation software for
engineers, used to calculate pressure drop and flow
distribution in liquid and low velocity gas piping and
ducting systems.
Bentley AutoPLANT P&ID is a tool for creating
intelligent process and instrumentation diagrams.
Using AutoCAD as the drafting engine linked
dynamically to an external database engineers can
quickly and accurately build a project repository for
tagged components and related properties.
Bentley AutoPLANT Instrumentation and Wiring is a
process plant control systems design package. It is
the ideal tool for creating project instrumentation loop
diagrams, panel termination diagrams, motor
schematics, single-line diagrams, and foundation
field bus segment diagrams.
Bentley Data Manager is a powerful multidisciplinary
content management tool that allows engineers to
access all data residing in Bentley's plant project
database. All project data, including tag numbers,
descriptions, and component-specific properties, are
available to be created, viewed, edited, and reported
using Data Manager V8i.
Bentley Datasheets enables engineers to create
process, instrumentation, mechanical, and electrical
datasheets that automatically synchronize with
Bentley's plant project database. This reduces the
time-intensive task of manual datasheet production
and ensures data consistency.

ETAP is a fully integrated AC and DC electrical power
system analysis tool. Engineers use ETAP in
thousands of companies and electric utilities
worldwide in the design, analysis, maintenance, and
operation of electrical power systems.
DIgSILENT StationWare provides a reliable central
protection settings database and management
system for the complete power system substation
data, both to manage the various control parameters
and to centrally store substation related information
and data, based on latest .NET technology.
