PIPESIM Steady-State Multiphase Flow Simulator

What do you like best?

I like that it's simple to use and has good reporting features (i.e. data at all points). I mainly use it for compositional flow and the pressure drop results are quite accurate. Save my time by not having to do a CFD kind of simulation.

What do you dislike?

The units setting are quite rigid, not as wide as the aspen hysys or other process simulation. And because it's such a closed business software, the help features are limited and there aren't many explanation or tutorials on the web

Recommendations to others considering the product:

There are some limitations such as no valves control (limit pressure drop with other equipment) but overall it's one of the best flow assurance software out there so try it, learn it and reap the benefits in a related project. Saves effort and time.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I have to determine the flow of branch in my pipeline and by doing this I am able to confirm the project changes I need without having to consult external study which would cost money and time.
