Built for piping networks: hundreds of branches, valves, pumps and heat exchangers solved simultaneously, which single-device simulation cannot achieve.
Which branch gets enough flow and which is starved — the classic problem of water, steam and compressed air distribution in a plant.
A sudden valve closure or a pump power loss creates a pressure surge large enough to break the pipe. FloMaster computes the surge amplitude and where the danger is.
Diameters and pump ratings selected from a whole-system calculation.
Loss coefficients for complex components taken from 3D simulation into the network.

| CPU / RAM | A mid-range office PC is sufficient |
| Data required | P&ID diagrams, pump curves, fitting loss coefficients |
A spreadsheet handles a simple route. Once the network has closed loops, many parallel branches or transients, the whole network must be solved simultaneously in FloMaster.
P&ID diagrams, pipe lengths and diameters, pump and valve characteristics. Without the component characteristics the results only show trends.
Send the P&ID and operating parameters — CFDWAYS will make a preliminary assessment of the cause.
