Configuring Solver Modes

FlowDesigner offers three solver modes to match your analysis needs:

• Standard: For basic steady-state calculations

• Variations: To analyze variations in input data against system behavior

• Transient: For time-based and water hammer analysis

Select your mode from the Solve toolbar dropdown. When choosing Variations or Transient, a new panel appears with additional settings specific to that mode.

A solver mode in FlowDesigner represents a specific approach on how the calculation routine procedure would be executed.

Through the solve toolkit, the software offers three main solver modes:

• Standard Mode: For basic, steady-state system analysis

• Variations Mode: Allows you to test how changes in one input parameter affect your system by running multiple calculations across a defined range

• Transient Mode: For analyzing water hammer and other time-based flow behavior

When selecting Variations or Transient mode, FlowDesigner will display additional calculation panels need for executing the calculation.
