Introduction
A number of example projects are distributed with the SysCAD software. These have been created to show various different features of SysCAD in an actual project.
The projects are stored in the following folder:
..\SysCAD92\Examples
In addition to the projects described below, there are a number of Excel reports that can be used as templates by users. These are stored in:

| Energy Balance Example | A project demonstrating mass and energy balance calculation across some simple unit operations. | |
| Flash Train Example | A project containing different configurations for flash tanks. The flash tanks are connected to shell and tube heaters, direct contact heaters and barometric condensers. | |
| Heat of Dilution Example | A simple project showing the use of heat of dilution functionality in SysCAD. | |
| High Pressure Autoclave Leach Example | Autoclave section only using high pressure autoclave leach. | |
| Smelter Example | This project demonstrates how SysCAD can be used to simulate a smelter. | |
| Solubility Example | A simple project showing the use of solubility functionality in SysCAD. | |
| Solvent Extraction Example | A simple example showing how to build a closed loop solvent extraction circuit. The project also shows the use of Make up sources. | |
| Power Plant | Demand Example (with desuperheaters) | This simple project uses the Steam balance around a plant with High, Medium and Low Pressure steam to demonstrate the Demand in pipes functionality as well as utilising the desuperheater model. |
| Power Plant Example | A demonstration power plant utilising boiler, multi-stage turbines and condensers. | |
| Rankine Cycle Example | A simple project simulates the Rankine cycle. | |
| Size Distribution | Size Distribution Example | This project demonstrates how SysCAD handles size distribution in materials and units that alter, or split the flow based on the size distribution. It consists of crushers, screens, cyclones and mills. |
