Engineering Software
ENERGY ANALYST©
- For the engineer who designs, operates or tests power plants or evaluates energy alternatives, Bullard
- Industrial Technologies, Inc. offers a series of sophisticated programs to help you in your work.
- Each program is complete and ready to run, menu driven and completely interactive. The data handling techniques make your job easier and although documentation is provided it is seldom needed because the screen “menus” and “fill-in forms” lead through each step of the analysis.
- The input data and the results can be printed with a single command and are in form ready for inclusion into your final reports.
- A unique feature of these programs is the ability to edit data ON-LINE. Other engineering programs require that all data be re-entered at the start of each run, or that data be edited off-line. With these programs you edit the input date on the screen whenever you want and change only the inputs that need changing. Then the calculations are rerun. This technique makes sensitivity studies extremely rapid and convenient.
