    RUPLAN

    RUPLAN

    AUCOTEC

    The name RUPLAN as a synonym for "computer-aided drafting" marks the first CAD system ever. The former AEG Software GmbH launched it onto the market in 1983. Since 1997, the system has been part of the AUCOTEC portfolio and has been consistently further developed. For example, into the first engineering software that was able to implement the international standard DIN-EN 81346. An important factor in the success of RUPLAN is the distribution through the energy supply sector: no other system has maintained similar customer proximity over the decades. The utilities working group ("EVU-Arbeitskreis") of AUCOTEC experts and a large number of users from the energy industry has significantly shaped the development of the software and is still taking it forward today. Since the turn of the millennium, the focus of RUPLAN development has been on increasing efficiency in the documentation process.

    IWLive Pro

    IWLive Pro

    Autodesk

    IWLive Pro is an operational modeling tool for water supply networks. It offers both hydraulic and water quality simulations; predicts demand; and optimizes pump schedules. IWLive Pro verifies your InfoWorks WS Pro and InfoWater models constantly, so you can have confidence in the results of your simulations. IWLive Pro helps identify problems, forecast conditions with and without mitigating actions, and assess the consequences, helping you choose the best actions. BalanceNet, which complements IWLive Pro, shows whether you can take advantage of cheaper night-time electricity for pumping. SCADA data on its own tells you only what happened in the past, up to the present moment. IWLive Pro adds modeling, to give you an idea of what's coming up too. Because the tool has access to live data, you can find out immediately how good the predictions are. IWLive Pro compares your model’s forecasts to your live SCADA and telemetry data and alerts you to anomalies.

    FPrime

    FPrime

    Worley Labs

    FPrime is a rendering engine with a unique design focus. Unlike traditional renderers, FPrime is not just a final output step. Instead it is your companion during the entire process of creation from initial setup, through texturing and lighting, keyframing, and of course final rendering. It revolutionizes workflow by giving you constant feedback about your current scene and the effect of changes. You can always just see your render. Speed is the key feature that makes FPrime's feedback possible. That speed means you don't wait for LightWave. FPrime instead is using every moment to help you and prevent you wasting your time. FPrime's views are flexible. Multiple simultaneous renders are still fast and give you more feedback. With LightWave alone, radiosity effects are hard to anticipate during setup and take a long time to render. With FPrime, you have instant feedback.
