Energy Efficient Design
MDTools® 945 What’s New
Energy Efficient Connections
Energy Efficient Connections NEW
Setup MDTools to optimize Diameter and Depth, when making connections and inserting construction ports
Define nominal velocity range of oil flow for tank and pressure connections
Define construction hole upsizing ratio, for different velocity ranges
MDTools® 945 What’s New
Energy Efficient Construction PortEnergy Efficient Construction Port NEW
Smart Construction Port selection, based on flow values, is used when connecting ports
If Energy Efficient connection is active, then MDTools suggests Drill Diameter and Construction Port to reduce bend losses
MDTools® 945 What’s New
Check for Velocity Hot Spots in BlocksCheck for Velocity Hot Spots in Blocks NEW
Check velocity for selected nets or for the complete manifold.
Each tank and pressure connection is color coded for oil velocities
Red – High Velocity
Green – Medium Velocity
Yellow – Low Velocity
MDTools® 945 What’s New
Energy Efficient Smooth Bends
In Energy Efficient mode, MDToolsautomatically creates a smooth bend by optimizing drill depth
(Energy Efficient Connection mode selected)
Energy Efficient Smooth Bends NEW
MDTools checks and smoothens bends in manifold at the end of the design process.
