CAPE-OPEN

Jasper you are so great.
I am investigating a Unit Operation source code implemented by C#, I found it's rather complicated than the ones by C++.

When implementing a Unit Operation in C++, there are some registry information stored in .rgs file, and these information will be wrote to Windows registry automatically when the C++ dll file is registered, as follows: HKCU { NoRemove Software { NoRemove Classes { CPPMixerSplitterexample.CPPMixerSpl...

Thank you Jasper

GetPhaseInfo is defined as following: GetPhaseInfo(BSTR phaseLabel, BSTR phaseAttribute, VARIANT * value); where when phaseAttribute is 'StateOfAggregation', 'Vapor' or 'Liquid' or 'Solid' will be returned as string. I have finished one Property Package, and tested in COFE environment, the following...

Don't to care text align, color, font size, font name problems, just simplest desciplines as I mentioned.

The simulator has it's own style to display them, for example the specified font, line space, color for title.

Complicated XML standards will make nobody to fill them.

Happy new year Jasper！ I suggest Colan defines one custom XML format, which is simple and has sufficient fucntions, likes the following: <title1>1. Sample title</title1> <title2> 1.1 Sample sub title </title2> <paragraph> The sample texts. </paragraph> <table> <row> <range>cell1 message</range> <ran...

Colan should define the format of XML report message.For example use the desciplines of Microsoft docx XML file, which could report as table, title, text pharagraph. All the report messages are normal XML strings, but Simulator could display them likes Microsoft Word.

CAPE-OPEN Thermo standards have two versions, Aspen HYSYS may have the different one with your Unit Operation, so Aspen HYSYS may can't realize the ports of you Unit Operation.

You'd better test the Unit Operation in COFE and Aspen Plus firstly, then in Aspen HYSYS.

nrgeng you are so careful!

The best way to get each compound flow, is through "totalFlow" and "fraction" of overall material stream or a single phase.Aspen supports "flow" property not well.
