From national oil supply lines to residential fire protection systems, numerous industries rely on the smooth transportation of liquids and gases through intricate pipe networks. The engineering goal in such complex systems is to create a network that fulfills distribution requirements while balancing costs and architectural design. However, design engineers face a significant challenge—they must develop solutions without fully assessing their performance until detailed simulations are conducted later in the process. The ability to simulate fluid flow accurately during the initial design phase could greatly enhance decision-making early on.

Enter Project Dalton, a cutting-edge application launched via Autodesk Labs. Dalton empowers design engineers to swiftly apply fluid analysis techniques to their models and receive immediate feedback on system performance. This capability streamlines the evaluation of design alternatives right from the start.

This versatile tool operates either as a standalone application or as an extension within popular design packages like Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D. By leveraging a standard PCF file, Dalton taps into the model's geometric details, such as pipe lengths, diameters, elevations, and more. Its intuitive menu bar presents straightforward windows where users can specify additional parameters like materials, component data, and boundary conditions.

To aid users, Dalton comes equipped with helpful features like a customizable library of common fluids and gases, along with pipe material and equipment data (such as roughness and k-factors). It even lets you generate pump or fan curves using just a few key input points. Along the way, visualization tools provide clarity about modifications and their effects on flow direction and other factors.

After characterizing the design elements, users can solve for various performance metrics, such as pressure, flow rate, and temperature. Easily adjusting design features and re-solving helps gauge the impact of changes. Dalton rapidly simulates flow under given conditions and delivers results for review—guiding the design process intelligently.

Upon completion, users can export results to a CSV file and save the analysis configuration for future reference.

I’ve personally found Project Dalton to be incredibly useful in my work. It bridges the gap between theoretical design and practical implementation by offering real-time insights. Whether you're working on large-scale industrial projects or smaller-scale residential setups, Dalton ensures that every detail is accounted for before construction begins.

Let me know if you have any specific questions about how it works or need help getting started. I’d be happy to guide you through the process!
