There is an update available for your Flow of Fluids 2007 Program.

This will update Flow of Fluids 2007 to the latest build (revision A).

Eligibility for this update can be found in the following manner:

Go to the Help menu in Flow of Fluids and choose About.

If the version says 10.01, no update is required.

If the Version does not say 10.01 click on the link below to update your software.

Download the Update

After your download has completed extract the files to a common folder. Browse to that folder you just created then run the SETUP.EXE and follow the installation prompts that appear on your screen.

Items Resolved in the 2007a PIPE-FLO Maintenance Release:

We have eliminated the movement of text on the FLO-SHEET seen in larger systems. The text movement feature was originally created to “bump” the text off of components when a calculation was performed however with large systems, this would cause the text to move too far away from the component and it would not reset when zoomed in. The “bump text” feature has now been removed. If you have a large system where the text has been bumped and you wish to have all the text on your FLO-SHEET reset to its original position, contact our technical support at (360) 292-4060.

• The pump transfer issue identified in Program Bulletin #006 07 (http://www.eng-software.com/kb/item.aspx?article=1467) has been resolved. This issue was not seen on a majority of systems, only on certain speed CPUs did it cause the pump transfer from the selection module to the FLO-Sheet to fail.
• Control Valves have been improved to show choking in the Automatic Set setting as well when valve performance data is provided. This issue was documented in Program Bulletin #005_07 (http://www.eng-software.com/kb/item.aspx?article=1460) and has now been resolved.
• The copy & paste feature from one Flow of Fluids system to another Flow of Fluids system has been improved so you no longer need to have the <Design Case> lineup present in both systems. This issue was documented in Program Bulletin #002_07 (http://www.eng-software.com/kb/item.aspx?article=1449) and has now been resolved.
• Control valve modeling has been improved to more accurately define performance when the flow rate is near Qmax. This update may cause a change to calculated flows and pressures (if near Qmax) in a control valve with Cv data defined.
• In some isolated cases, abnormal flow and pressure values (taking the form of “-1.#IO” were recorded. This was seen in some isolated cases with low flow rates. This issue was documented in Program Bulletin #004_07 (http://www.eng-software.com/kb/item.aspx?article=1459) and has now been resolved.
• The System Resistance Curve (SRC) for a system with flow meters has been improved. You now must have only sized orifices present in your system to generate a SRC.
• When importing a 2005 system into 2007, some user curve units & speed data was mislabeled. This issue was documented in Program Bulletin #003_07 (http://www.eng-software.com/kb/item.aspx?article=1453)and has now been resolved. Note: this resolution does not change performance data which is correct, only updates labels to indicate the correct units and fixes the erroneous warnings produced.
