xStream 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

xStream is a fluid dynamic simulation tool for acoustic transients in steam and gas piping systems. It allows users to simulate how their steam and gas systems will respond to disruptive transient events, such as turbine trips, compressor failures, and heat exchanger tube ruptures. The software is designed for industries that rely on steam and gas systems, including power generation, oil and gas, and chemical processing.

xStream offers features to help engineers analyze and troubleshoot their steam and gas systems. It includes a steady-state solver that initializes the system before the transient analysis, as well as a specialized Method of Characteristics to solve the transient mass, momentum, and energy equations of pipe flow. Users can change system input data, including transient valve positions, compressor operation, control set points, pressures, and temperatures, and initiate transients based on time or events in the system.
