Use a parameter or variable from a Fluid Type as a default value

You can use the parameters and variables from the associated Fluid Type as the default values in a Model Type. You can also use the parameters and variables from the Fluid Type as the Min or Max values for the variables and real parameters in the Model Type. You must use the FluidType.<par> and FluidType.<var> naming convention to reference these parameters and variables, where:

• FluidType is the name of a parameter that already exists in the Model Type. For this model parameter, the Type should be Fluid Type and the Default should not be blank. AVEVA Process Simulation uses the values from the Fluid Type that you select in the Default list.

• <par> is the system name for the parameter.

• <var> is the system name for the variable.

You can find the system name for most Fluid Type parameters and variables by hovering over the parameter or variable in the Fluid Editor.

Different Fluid Types have different parameters and variables. All Fluid Types have the FluidType.Temperature and FluidType.Pressure parameters, which are the starting values that AVEVA Process Simulation uses to initialize the thermodynamic properties of the Fluid Type. See Available Fluid Type parameters and variables for the full list of Fluid Type parameters and variables that you can use as default values in your Model Types.

Use a parameter or variable from a Fluid Type as a default value

1. Open the Model Editor for the Model Type.

2. Expand the Variables section.

3. In the Default column for the desired variable, enter the system name of the Fluid Type parameter or variable, and then press Enter.
