Sinaps®
Version 5.1
Sinaps® 5.1 provides a complete restructuring of the SinapsPlus interface. This new interface has been developed using Microsoft's .NET Framework providing a comprehensive development platform to support future expansions. This version of Sinaps will provide users with a new winodws-based work environment while setting the stage for new capabilities in future releases.
Although the user interface has received a major face lift and many new features have been added, Sinaps still provides a non-geometric graphical user interface for developing SINDA/FLUINT models. Users will find the new work environment to be more user friendly and efficient than previous versions.
Summary of Improvements and New Features
- Models are developed in a single network environment
- Layers and layer set manager provide the ability to organize large complex networks
- Collections and clones allow custom organization of networks
- Automcatic macro generator identifies network elements which appear to be continuous ducts and identifies them as pipe macros.
- Pipe element creates fluid line macro and optional thermal network objects
- Supports turbomachinery devices introduced in SINDA/FLUINT version 5.0
- Fluid property manager
- Thermophysical property database manager
- Import properties from a Thermal Desktop property database
- Supports temperature dependent properties
- Unit management provides units for data fields based on user defined unit convention
- Case Manager allows the creation of multiple cases each with independent build configurations, solution, and logic blocks
- Model browser allows table based navigation of model elements with direct editing
- Icon toolbars and tool pallet provide access to all SINDA/FLUINT modeling objects
- Customizable hover text allows display of inputs and outputs
- Built in model checking
- Context-sensitive help
- Extensive model documentation options
