Hello everyone,
How do engineers design complicated piping systems, such as systems with many branches and equipment? Is there some software that helps calculate system curves for complicated piping? I don't see it being feasible to perform calculations by hand, even with Excel or Matlab. Do people really even draw system curves? I could see how estimates can be done with fair accuracy, but I don't see that being ideal at all.
Thanks for any answers!![[thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]](/data/assets/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
