Unit Type: {{{TPS}}}SideCalc - The first tab page in the access window will have this name.

Tag (Long/Short) Input / Calc Description/Calculated Variables / Options
Tag Display This name tag may be modified with the change tag option.
Condition Display OK if no errors/warnings, otherwise lists errors/warnings.
ConditionCount Display The current number of errors/warnings. If condition is OK, returns 0.
GeneralDescription / GenDesc Display This is an automatically generated description for the unit. If the user has entered text in the 'EqpDesc' field on the Info tab (see below), this will be displayed here.
If this field is blank, then SysCAD will display the UnitType or SubClass.
Requirements
On Tickbox If this option is deselected, the {{{TPS}}} SideCalc model will not be operational and thus no calculations will be performed.
Pressure / P Input The pressure at which the {{{TPS}}} side calculation is to be performed at.
StreamCount Input The number of SysCAD streams to be combined together prior to performing the {{{TPS}}} side calculation. For each stream, the StreamTag and Multiplier will need to be specified.
ContainerCount Input Only available in a dynamic project. The number of SysCAD contents to be combined together prior to performing the {{{TPS}}} side calculation. For each content, the ContainerTag and Multiplier will need to be specified.
StreamX.SourceTag Input Not displayed if StreamCount=0. For stream X, the tag of the stream that the user wants to perform a {{{TPS}}} side calculation on. The format is:

[Unit Operation Tag Name].[Tab Page Name]

Examples: XPG_1.QProd, P_1.Qo, X_1.QProd, TNK_1.QFeed

StreamX.Ratio Input Not displayed if StreamCount=0. For stream X, the ratio to be applied to the mass flow of the stream prior to performing the {{{TPS}}} side calculation. This is particularly important when mixing several streams prior to performing the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
StreamX.Phase Not displayed if StreamCount=0.
All The full contents of stream X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
Gas Only the gaseous phase of stream X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
Liq Only the liquid phase of stream X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
Sol Only the solid phase of stream X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
SL Only the solid and liquid phases of stream X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
SG Only the solid and gaseous phases of stream X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
LG Only the liquid and gaseous phases of stream X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
ContainerX.SourceTag Input Only available in a dynamic project. Not displayed if ContainerCount=0. The tag of the content that the user wants to perform a {{{TPS}}} side calculation on. The format is:

[Unit Operation Tag Name].[Tab Page Name]

Examples: TNK_001.Content

ContainerX.Ratio Input Only available in a dynamic project. Not displayed if ContainerCount=0. For content X, the ratio to be applied to the mass of the content prior to performing the {{{TPS}}} side calculation. This is particularly important when mixing several contents or streams prior to performing the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
ContainerX.Phase Only available in a dynamic project. Not displayed if ContainerCount=0.
All The full contents of content X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
Gas Only the gaseous phase of content X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
Liq Only the liquid phase of content X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
Sol Only the solid phase of content X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
SL Only the solid and liquid phases of content X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
SG Only the solid and gaseous phases of content X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
LG Only the liquid and gaseous phases of content X will be part of the {{{TPS}}} side calculation.
Drain.Mode Only available in a dynamic project. Not displayed if ContainerCount=0.
MatchToStep Drain time is equal to the step size of the project. For example, a content containing 10 tonnes of material (after ratios and phase selections have been applied), with a project Step Size of 2 hours, would result in stream of 5 t/h of material being evaluated by the {{{TPS}}} solver.
Normalised Flow of material from all contents is set to 1 kg/s (3.6 t/h). Note this is after ratios are applied.
DrainTime User can specify the drain time to be used, see Drain.Time below.
DrainRate User can specify the drain rate, see Drain.MassFlow below.
Drain.Time Input Only available in a dynamic project and if Drain.Mode = DrainTime. The time parameter used to convert the content information into a stream (as required by {{{TPS}}}). For example, a content containing 10 tonnes of material (after ratios and phase selections have been applied), with a Drain.Time of 2 hours, would result in stream of 5 t/h of material being evaluated by the {{{TPS}}} solver.
Drain.MassFlow / Qm Input Only available in a dynamic project and if Drain.Mode = DrainRate. The flow of material from all contents is set to this value. Note this is after ratios are applied.
CheckTags Check Tags.png If the user clicks on this button, SysCAD will check that the SourceTag values are valid tags.
CalcWhen Manual The side calculation will only be performed if the user presses the Calculate button.
Each Iter The side calculation will be performed at the end of each iteration during the model run.
Each N Iters The side calculation will be performed at the end of each N iterations during the model run.
OnStop The side calculation will be performed once at the end of the run when the model is stopped.
ItersBetweenCalc Input Only available if CalcWhen = Each N Iters. The number of iterations between calculations.
Calculate Calculate.png Click on this button to perform the side calculation to determine the conditions of the final solution, based on the specified target value.
Options
ShowQFeed Tickbox Allows the user to view the QFeed and associated tab pages, showing the properties of the combined feed stream. See Material Flow Section. This will be prior to the {{{TPS}}} calculations.
ShowQProd Tickbox Only available if Model is set to Reactor. Allows the user to view the QProd and associated tab pages, showing the properties of the products. See Material Flow Section. This will be after the {{{TPS}}} calculations have been applied.
