HYENA⁺ Updates - ACADS-BSG

August 1, 2023by ACADS-BSG

We are pleased to announce the release of two new features to the HYENA⁺ platform.

 

New Feature #1: Minimum Pressure at Reference Node

This new feature allows for a minimum required pressure to be specified for any reference node in the pipe network. This may be useful in modelling systems where changes in elevation can cause some nodes in the network to be under negative pressure. If the designer wants to avoid this, this new feature can be used to specify a minimum pressure for these nodes.

New Feature #2: Fixed Ratio Pressure Reduction Valve

A new type of control valve has been added that allows the user to specify the pressure at the downstream node as a fixed percentage of the pressure at the upstream node.

The user interface for HYENA+ is much cleaner and more user friendly than the UI used for the original HYENA program. This makes the experience more enjoyable, easy, and less taxing when using the program for long periods of time. HYENA is an excellent tool to have and its now web-based nature with HYENA+ has allowed it to become even more beneficial.

It has always been a pleasure dealing with ACADS-BSG team due to their helpful nature and quick response time to any inquiries and technical issues. Camel\Hyena works out of the box and install time is in seconds, I cannot recommend any other company that provides better customer service other than Catherine and her team.

The ACADS BSG suite of software has been used by VOS Group for 30 years. We as a company have grown as the software capabilities have changed with usability and technology. The support from head office has always been quick and accurate, with a resolve to overcome any obstacles. We have always found the outputs to be accurate and reliable and a good basis for good engineering design.

Moving to a cloud based platform has improved the overall performance of the software. [being able to log in from any device] has improved my overall productivity as I only need to carry my smart phone or a tablet, and I can do my job remotely. Tools and functions are clearly organised within the new interface reducing any confusion for a new user. Copy+ Paste option saves a lot of time for Engineers like me. It just works like an Excel Sheet, where you can copy items and paste them somewhere else. It saves a lot of time especially if you are working on a single project and you want to do multiple calculations.

[HYENA+] allows me to quickly switch from one calculation to another without losing any data. This has reduced the overall lead time in doing calculations. I am sure [HYENA+] will have a positive impact on the Fire Industry.
