This sections details the use of the Area Model in SysCAD 9.2.

General Description
The area model allows groups of models (tanks, feeders, pipes, etc.) to be grouped together and auditing performed on the whole group rather than having to look at the audit pages of each individual model. A special case of the Area Model is the Global Area, to which all area models belong.
The main use of the area model is in Dynamic mode. All spills and all vents which are not sent to a vent stream will report to the Area Model to which the unit belongs. Eg. if Tank01 belongs to Area02, then any spills from Tank01 will be reported in Area02. To assign a model to a specific area, go to the Info Tab on the Access window and select the required area from the Plant Area drop down list. (Please see Plant Area on the Info Tab).
Data Sections
The number of data sections will vary depending if SysCAD is being used in ProBal or Dynamic mode.
- The first section, Area-1, contains general information relating to the material sent to the area.
- The section, Split, is only visible in dynamic mode, and contains information relating to material which has been split. This page shows the properties of the sum of the spills sent to the area (see Material Flow Section).
- The section, Vented, is only visible in dynamic mode, and contains information relating to material which has been vented. This page shows the properties of the sum of the vents sent to the area (see Material Flow Section).
- The section, Info, fully described in Info Tab Page Section.
- The section, Links, only visible in SysCAD 9.2, contains a summary table for all the input and output streams. See Links Table.
- The last section is the Audit. See Model Examples for enthalpy calculation Examples.
