Stack/Flare Design Software (FDS)

FDS is a 3D Stack / Flare / Chimney design software. It is ready-to-use tool for Analysis & Design of self-supporting stacks, steel chimneys, flares, exhaust stacks, etc. of a variety of dimensions and attachments. It offers direct intelligent export capabilities with Tekla ^TM and AVEVA E3D ^TM.

FDS can be used to analyse self-supported stacks as well as guy-wire stacks & columns – free-standing on the ground or on any other external structure.

The end user has complete control over the codes used for Along Wind, Across Wind, Stress and Fatigue. FDS’s unique parametric modelling capabilities allow users to model the Stack supporting an external stack / large piping, with multiple supports.

With this exciting new technology, users will be able to log in from anywhere onto the cloud to design their Stack, while safeguarding their own data at their end.

Description

Automated pre-processing – Quick geometry generation & automated discretization
Automated load generation – for loads as wind, refractory, platform, live, etc. Load combinations and factors can be customized as needed.
Automated components such as:
- Ladders & Platforms
- Dampers
- Base plates
- Splice plates
- Piping
- Refractory
- Nozzles
- Stiffeners
- Trunnions
- Tailing lugs
Automated local FEA generation using shell elements, eliminating the need for any external FEA nozzle check
Automated Local FEA generation for stiffening rings – eliminating the need of any external modelling to perform local stress analysis.
Integration of Shell & Beam elements to analyze overall behaviour

Automated 1D /2D Flow Analyser which will eliminate any third party CFD analysis for:
- Vortex shedding checks due to wind
- Internal piping analysis
- Checking of Strakes
Direct interface with Tekla eliminating errors in transfer of intelligent Tekla model
Ready-to-submit documentation, with direct interface and reference to International codes & clauses, eliminating huge man-hours required to produce exhaustive, detailed structural design documents.
