CAPE-OPEN

Jasper Thanks for providing the links. I can see possibilities for flowsheet monitoring, I will certainly start to try the WAR add in. My current goal is to model the steam usage in a cane sugar factory, there will be at least 50 items of plant where heat loss is significant. Would be good if each i...

Thank you Jasper, I will put the simple Excel model in as a unit operation for each section of the flow sheet as you suggest. My remaining problem is adding the same ambient temperature to all the unit operations that calculate heat loss? I could add an Information calculator with multiple outputs a...

What I would like to do is:
1. Global setting of a constant such as Ambient Temperature (Information stream)
2. Set initial conditions for some streams (Information and material) where values are calculated from a simple Excel model

Is it possible to set values for properties such as mass flow for streams and temperature for information streams?
I see that there is a "Call mat.SetProp( ...) for ICapeThermoMaterialObjects.

Thanks Jasper.
I ended up re-installing COCO but this time as Administrator.
COFE.xlt is now working - looks very good.
