Introduction

This tab page on the Plant Model Access Window has a number of parameters that the user may either set or read for Global settings.

Tag (Long/Short)	Input / Calc	Description/Calculated Variables / Options
List of Species to report nett flows (shown on Links page): List
This allows the user to add species for a quick species balance around a unit operation. The results of this will be displayed on a per unit operation basis, on the Links Tab of the access window. This information can be used to create, for example, a water / steam balance.
SpeciesXX / SpXX	List	X is the number of the selected species. Select the required species from the list. The selected species will be added to the species balance, shown on the Links Table. The default species are H2O(l) and H2O(g). The last row is always blank to allow the user to add more species. To remove a species, choose the “-” option instead of the selected species. As species are added or removed, they are sorted as per the order in the configuration file. NOTE: If different species in the list have the same Component, then the net flow of the component is also added to the links table to display the overall Nett flow of the species. This is to help identify the use of the species in reactions. For example, H2O(l) and H2O(g) are added to the list, when viewing the data on the Links tab of any unit model, we will find component H2O is also added to the list. This additional field is useful for showing the nett flow of water, thus helping user identify if H2O is "consumed" or "created" via reactions.
Totalisers (Only visible in Dynamic Transfer mode)
Total.Flow.Options	Qm	Show Total mass flow only.
	Qm,Qv	Show Total mass and Total volume flows.
	Qm:AllPhases	Show mass flows for the Total and for all phases.
	Qm,Qv:AllPhases	Show mass and volume flows for Total and for all phases.
FirstFlow.Options	Off	No additional information to be shown when the first flow occurs.
	Step	Show the step that flow first occurs in the pipe since the model started running.
	Time	Show the time that flow first occurs in the pipe since the model started running.
	Step, Time	Show both the step and the time that flow first occurs in the pipe since the model started running. Display Configuration
Value.Zero	Display	The value below which SysCAD will assume zero flow.
Status.ZeroFlow	Display	The value below which the SysCAD display status will indicate zero flow. Note: While the display will indicate zero flow, SysCAD will still use the actual values for calculations.
Status.VapourTest	Display	The value above which the SysCAD display status will indicate vapour flow. Note: While the display will indicate vapour flow, SysCAD will still display any values for liquids and solids.
Status.SolidsTest	Display	The value above which the SysCAD display status will indicate solids flow. Note: While the display will indicate solids flow, SysCAD will still display any values for liquids and vapours.
Old Tag Lookup Management
This refers to the internal renaming of tags due to SysCAD version change. The messages will be displayed to alert users of tag changes, user should manually fix these tags to prevent the messages from appearing in the future. If tags are not changed, SysCAD will attempt to look up a tag rename table to use the new tag. However, some really old tags may no longer work so it is advisable to change the tags to the new syntax as soon as possible.
Tag.ReName.MaxMessages	None	No Tag rename messages will be displayed.
	Limited(1)	One Tag rename message can be displayed.
	Limited(10)	Up to ten Tag rename messages can be displayed.
	All	All Tag rename messages will be displayed.
