Vipertex® enhanced surfaces can be applied to one or both sides of the surface.
Here are four examples of the many patterns available (click each photo for a closeup):
An add-in suite for the HTRI software program is available to aid in system modeling.
Also available are Vipertex® multipliers that can be used with Aspen design software.
Features
