Fathom overview

What is Fathom?

Fathom is a fluid dynamic simulation software designed for engineers working with liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems. The software calculates pressure drop and flow distribution, allowing users to simulate individual system components and their interactions. Fathom integrates equipment characteristics analysis with the system's schematic representation.

Fathom empowers users to experiment with various operating conditions and scenarios. The software enables changing system input data, such as valve positions, pump operation, control set points, pressures, and temperatures. It can model a comprehensive range of system components for both design and operational cases, allowing users to vary the system line-up, open/close pipes and valves, turn pumps on/off, and set control valves to fail positions. Fathom also provides design alerts that automatically highlight output values outside the acceptable range for flow, pressure, velocity, and pump efficiency.
