Global Engines for {{{TPS}}} Interface
Interface...
Engines.Status	OK	The model has been initialised correctly and the database file has been found and loaded correctly.
	Init Required	The model needs to be initialised.
	Init Failed	The model initialisation has been attempted but failed.
	Not installed	The {{{TPS}}} software is not installed.
	Wrong Version	The wrong version of the {{{TPS}}} software is installed.
	DLL not licensed	The {{{TPS}}} software is not licensed.
Reload		If the user clicks on the 'Reload' button, then it will Reload the {{{TPS}}} engine/s.
InitTime	Display	The time taken to initialise the model on the last attempt.
Engines.WaitTime	Display	The time when all engines are busy.
Engines.Count	Display	The number of engines used. This can be changed in the SysCAD configuration (.cfg) file for the project.
(The following parameters are shown for all engines (Engines column) and each individual {{{TPS}}} Engine in a table:)
ReloadCount	Display	The number of model reloads that have been performed. The reloads are required when an engine switches between models. It is reset to zero at the beginning of a run.
ReloadTime	Display	The cumulative amount of time that the {{{TPS}}} engine/s have been reloading different models.
AverageReloadTime	Display	The average amount of time required for a {{{TPS}}} reload. AverageReloadTime = ReloadTime/ReloadCount.
CalcCount	Display	The number of calculations that have been performed by the {{{TPS}}} software. This is cumulative and may include multiple iterations. It is reset to zero at the beginning of a run.
CalcTime	Display	The cumulative amount of time that {{{TPS}}} engine/s have been performing calculations. This is cumulative and may include multiple runs. It may include calculations done for mixing as well for calculation of output streams.
AverageCalcTime	Display	The average amount of time required for {{{TPS}}} calculations. AverageCalcTime = CalcTime/CalcCount.
MaxCalcTime	Display	The maximum amount of time required for {{{TPS}}} calculations since the last reset of the model.
PropCalcTime	Display	The total time used to calculate stream properties by {{{TPS}}}.
MixingTime	Display	The total time used to calculate the properties of incoming streams to unit models by {{{TPS}}}. This includes time for {{{TPS}}} equilibrium calculations for each of the incoming streams to a unit operation.
AverageMixingTime	Display	The average amount of time used to calculate the properties of incoming streams to unit models by {{{TPS}}}. This includes time for {{{TPS}}} equilibrium calculations for each of the incoming streams to a unit operation.
MaxMixingTime	Display	The maximum amount of time used to calculate the properties of incoming streams to unit models by {{{TPS}}}. This includes time for {{{TPS}}} equilibrium calculations for each of the incoming streams to a unit operation.
LockCount	Display	The number of times the {{{TPS}}} engine/s are locked (is in use).
LockedTime	Display	The cumulative amount of time that {{{TPS}}} engine/s have been locked (in use). This is cumulative and may include multiple runs.
SysCAD Solver
Iterations	Display	Total iterations since beginning of run.
SolveTime	Display	Total solve time since beginning of run.
PerIter.CalcCount	Display	The average number of {{{TPS}}} calculations per iteration. PerIter.CalcCount = Engines.CalcCount/Iterations.
PerIter.CalcTime	Display	The average amount of time required for {{{TPS}}} calculations per iteration. PerIter.CalcTime = Engines.CalcTime/Iterations.
PerIter.WaitTime	Display	The average amount of wait time per iteration. PerIter.WaitTime = Engines.WaitTime/Iterations.
PerIter.LockedTime	Display	The average amount of time the engines are locked (in use) per iteration. PerIter.LockedTime = Engines.LockedTime/Iterations.
Global list of {{{TPS}}}ModelCfg for {{{TPS}}} Interface
ModelCfgCount	Display	The number of {{{TPS}}} Model Configuration models in the project which are using {{{TPS}}} Interface Engines.
ModelCfgTagX	Display	The tag (X) for each {{{TPS}}}ModelCfg using this Interface.
