Engineered Systems - January 2009 - (Page 92) Computers&Software DATA CENTER DESIGN The 6SigmaDC suite of CFD-based data center design and analysis software programs feature the Virtual Facility© concept that uses 3-D mathematical modeling for scientific validation of design assumptions as well as for the assessment of the thermal and environmental impacts as data center equipment is upgraded and refreshed. — Future Facilities Limited F O R F R E E I N F O R M AT I O N C I R C L E : 7 0 0 PUMP SELECTION COMBUSTION AIRFLOW MODELING SMARTflow™ flow modeling analysis allows users to design burners based on three assumptions: each burner (applicable in multi-burner systems) gets equal amounts of air flow; air enters the burner evenly around the periphery of the burner; and air enters the burner radially, that is, with no tangential components. — Hamworthy Peabody Combustion, Inc. PUMP-FLO v.10 allows users to determine the proper selection point for multiple pump operation, by means of the “Multiple Pump Design Point calculator.” Other features include the ability to select regenerative turbine pump styles, pumps in pressure units, and a curve generator that automatically shows the system resistance curve on the pump graph. — PUMP-FLO Systems, An Engineered Software Business F O R F R E E I N F O R M AT I O N C I R C L E : 7 0 1 F O R F R E E I N F O R M AT I O N C I R C L E : 7 0 2 BITS & BYTES Autodesk and Bentley Systems have announced an agreement to expand interoperability between their portfolios of architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) software by exchanging software libraries and facilitate work process interoperability between their AEC applications through supporting the reciprocal use of available Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
