Project Dalton is a powerful standalone application designed to bring fluid dynamics analysis directly into the early stages of engineering design. Whether it's managing a country's oil supply chain or ensuring the safety of a residential building’s fire protection system, the efficient transport of liquids and gases through intricate piping networks is essential across multiple industries.
Engineers face the challenge of creating systems that are both functional and cost-effective, while also considering architectural and operational constraints. However, evaluating the performance of a design typically requires time-consuming simulations later in the process. With Project Dalton, engineers can now perform real-time fluid flow analysis during the design phase, allowing for quicker decision-making and better trade-off evaluations.
Launched through Autodesk Labs, Dalton offers an intuitive interface that integrates with popular design tools like AutoCAD Plant 3D and Revit MEP. Users can start by importing standard PCF files, which contain the geometry of the piping network—such as pipe lengths, diameters, and elevations. From there, they can easily input additional data like material properties, component specifications, and boundary conditions through simple, user-friendly windows.
The application includes a customizable database of common fluids, pipe materials, and equipment characteristics, along with tools to generate pump or fan curves with minimal input. Visual feedback throughout the process helps users understand how changes affect flow direction, pressure distribution, and overall system behavior.
Once all parameters are set, users can run simulations to calculate key performance metrics such as pressure, flow rate, and temperature. The ability to quickly adjust design elements and re-run analyses makes it easy to explore different scenarios and optimize the final outcome.
At the end of the analysis, results can be exported to CSV format, and the entire configuration can be saved for future reference. This streamlines the workflow and ensures consistency across projects.
