The Plant Model Access Window gives the user access to a number of useful global settings for the project, as well as information about the system and the project.
There are a number of tab pages in the Plant Model access window, these are:
- FlwSolve Tab - Allows Access to: Spill and Vents reporting, Global Demand Configuration, Stop On Error, and PGM Timeout settings
- Settings Tab - Allows access to: Species selection for Component Mass Balance (on unit operation basis), and Direct Link and Display Configurations settings.
- Audit Tab - Allows access to Audit settings.
- Project Tab - Allows user specified global values to be used in Custom Calculations and PGM files. Also allows the execution of a SetTag List report at the solution building stage the project.
- RC Tab - Allows access to Range Checks.
- Species Tab - Allows access to: Calculation method selection, VLE, Density and BPE option settings, Standard Properties Model selections (BPE and Density Correction), and Species count information.
- Views Tab - Allows the user to add or remove information: Additional Properties Options, Material View Options (additional information on the species view tab), and Additional Display Comments.
- Soluble Tab - Allows the user to set the Solubility displays.
- WaterQuality Tab - Allows access to global water quality parameters. Only visible if the 'WaterQuality' properties option is selected on the Views Tab.
- Qualities Tab - Allows access to additional qualities specification, based on selections made in the project configuration file, including LockUp, Material Tracking, Size Distributions, and Specific Surface Area (SSA).
- Environment Tab - Allows access to additional qualities specification, based on selections made in the project configuration file, including Project Configuration Temperature & Pressure and Ambient and Environment Conditions.
- System Tab - Allows access some SysCAD Version, SysCAD License and Project information. Useful for reporting.
- ModelList Tab - Display of models used in a project that require a license add-on. Display of DLLs and UnitTypes used in a project.
- Flowsheets Tab - Gives a list of graphics pages associated with the project. It is built dynamically after a project load. The main purpose of this is to allow user to activate/deactivate a graphics page externally through the use of macros.
- PrjNetworks Tab - Shows information on the independent flow networks in the project.
- Status Tab - Displays the message window status and the maximum error reported for the project.
- Statistics Tab - Displays the Statistics for solver speed, processor usage, memory usage and so on.
- States Tab - Displays the Statistics for the time that the solver spends in different states, e.g. ready, solving, stopping, paused. More detail is shown on the Plant Model - States - Full Detail tab.
- EvalSeq Tab - Displays the Statistics for Network Evaluation.
- Globals Tab - This page allows user to change global properties methods if available. This only applies to non-standard species models such as Alumina or Potash.
- Info Tab - This is a common tab page for all access windows.
