Overview
AFT Fathom is fluid dynamic simulation software for engineers, used to calculate pressure drop and pipe flow distribution in liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems.
Archie's take
AFT Fathom is a specialized tool best suited for engineering teams that need precise modeling of liquid and low-velocity gas flow in complex piping and ducting systems. Its standout advantage is the depth and accuracy of its hydraulic simulation capabilities, which go far beyond what general-purpose CAD or process simulation tools offer—making it a go-to for industries like power, chemical, and water utilities. However, it's not plug-and-play: the learning curve is real, and you’ll need engineers with a solid grasp of fluid dynamics to get full value, plus the cost can be significant for smaller teams. For organizations where system reliability, safety, and efficiency are mission-critical, the investment pays off, but it’s overkill for basic or small-scale piping layouts.
