Common Data on First Tab Page
This section is common to all model types.
| Tag / Symbol | Input / Calc | Calculated Variables / Options |
| Tag | Output | This name tag may be modified with the change tag option. |
| Condition | Output | OK if no errors/warnings, otherwise lists errors/warnings. |
| ConditionCount | Output | The current number of errors/warnings. If condition is OK, returns 0. |
| EqpDesc | Input | The user may enter a unit description. |

Description |
Documentation | ||
| EqpMemo | Input | The user may enter a description of the unit as text. This field is handled by SysCAD like a normal tag, therefore it can reported and set via Excel. |
| Link0/1/2 | Hyperlinks | The user may add a Hyperlink to a web page. There are three fields available for setting Hyperlinks. |
| EqpIdStr | Input | The user may enter an equipment identifier that can be used for reporting. |
| ReportKey | Input | The user may enter a report key - this may be used to select user defined keys for reporting. |
| EqpLocation | Input | The user may enter an equipment location identifier that can be used for reporting. |
Settings and Options | ||
| NetMethod | Display | Displays the current solve mode. Note that the solve mode is set from Project Configure dialog box and is limited by the license options. |
| Solution (This field is only visible in Dynamic mode.) | Direct | Only solution option for models which do not allow surge (eg. pipe, tie) |
| Inline | Solution option for Tank model. Tank acts similarly to ProBal mode, ie. mass is balanced across the unit. The Tank does have Surge. | |
| Buffered | Solution option for Tank model. Tank has surge. | |
| HeatCalc (See Heat Calculations in Project Configuration to set the project-wide heat calculation level) | None | Energy calculations will not be carried out, all streams will be treated at 20dC. This option should only be selected if the user is only looking at mass transfer projects with no heat requirements at all. |
| Reduced | SysCAD will perform a full energy balance. (Currently the Reduced and Rigorous options are identical) | |
| Rigorous | SysCAD will perform a full energy balance. (Currently the Reduced and Rigorous options are identical) | |
| Active | Tickbox | Activates or Deactivates the unit operation. This is normally set by SysCAD when the user Activates or Deactivates an entire flowsheet, see Active Pages and Manipulating Graphics and Trend Windows for methods of Activating and Deactivating flow sheets.. |
| Hold | Tick box | Puts the unit operation on Hold so the solver ignores it when building a solution. |
| SetState (The status may also be set using the Options Button on the first tab page of the unit. | Blank | No action required |
| Complete_Reset | This option is effectively a combination of all the following SetState options. | |
| Reset Process | This will empty a pipe and flow values when the run begins. | |
| Reset Control | This will reset a controller back to 'Base' state, i.e. the same state as when the controller is first inserted into the project. This is mainly relevant for PID controllers. | |
| Reset Statistics | Selecting this will Reset the Statistics. | |
| Reset Events Profiles | This will reset the Event or Profile back to start time. | |
| Empty Process | This Empties the unit if it has surge, e.g. if it is a Tank. | |
| Preset Process | This will preset the unit with the Preset data entered by the user. | |
| SetTimetoZero | Reset the starting time to zero. | |
| PlantArea | Drop Down List | The Default is 'Global Area'. If the user has defined other plant area models, then they may select one of these areas where this unit will be grouped. Please see Area Model for more information. |
System Information | ||
| Type | Output | Model Dependent |
| ClassId | Output | The Class ID of the model. This will be identical to the first tab page. |
| EqpGUID | Output | This is a unique ID created for each graphics entity in a project. |
| EvalOrder | Output | The Evaluation order of the unit set by the SysCAD Solver. |
| EvalSequence | Output | The Evaluation sequence of the unit set by the SysCAD Solver. |
| Origin.X | Input | The x spatial coordinate of the unit. |
| Origin.Y | Input | The y spatial coordinate of the unit. |
| Origin.Z | Input | The z spatial coordinate of the unit. |
