These features include enhanced visualization and a more flexible selection of default explosion models.
Process industries face potential hazards that can harm life, property and the environment. Phast software is used to analyse these hazards so that their consequences can be managed or reduced by improving the design of the process or plant, modifying existing operational procedures or implementing other mitigation measures.
“The improved visualization in Phast 7.11 will allow results to be viewed and understood more effectively, leading to better and more rapid decision-making,” says Nic Cavanagh, Director of Operations, Process Safety, Risk and Reliability at DNV GL - Software. “The new default explosion model means that results will typically be more accurate, with more conservative predictions, particularly as you move further away from potential sources of explosion hazards.”
Early feedback from DNV GL customers who have seen these new features at user conferences is extremely positive, particularly regarding the improved result-visualization capabilities.
