WinTran OnLine is our Real Time Transient Simulator that operates completely within WinTran.

WinTran OnLine synchronizes transient models continuously with the real pipeline operation. The availability of either the current state or any previous archived state allows a user to conduct more realistic predictive studies, launch automatic look-ahead, have up to the minute accurately tuned models, or analyze past operating scenarios. WinTran OnLine can also be coupled with a closed-loop control logic to maximize many operational objectives. While this Module is executing, the user can graphically view the results from one of the many built-in graphic routines or from the built-in Display Text Window.

This module can not only give you up to the minute accuracy but provide a forum for your company to reduce operating expenses while still maintaining your current delivery requirements. The following are just a few features for WinTran OnLine:
