Building a Simple Flowsheet

This tutorial explains construction and operation of a simple flowsheet as well as:

• Using pumps, tanks, valves and other objects

• Inputting data values for objects

• Connecting the objects

• Operating the simulation

• Construction of custom indicators and widgets to allow the user to interact with the flowsheet.

The DYNSIM interface is designed to incorporate many of the elements found in the PRO/II GUI. As with a PRO/II simulation, you can follow these simulation setup steps:

• Define the UOM

• Select components and define component slates

• Define a thermodynamic method

• Connect the units using appropriate streams

• Run the simulation and monitor the dynamic behavior of the process
