Process mode

About Process mode

Process mode performs steady state simulations to create and improve process design; it is designed to help you perform mass and energy balance calculations. You can switch to Process mode on-the-fly by selecting Process under the Mode section on the Application Ribbon. When you work in Process mode, the variable specification of equipment in your simulation will change according to the definition for each Model Type.

Concepts

• Switch between simulation modes

• Auto solve can be set to manual if solution time is slow, allowing you to make multiple changes

• Variable specifications switch along with the simulation mode, based on how they are configured for each Model Type

• Automatically calculate the size of an equipment in Process mode and then specify that size in Fluid Flow mode.
