Template:TPS SideCalc Workflow

The suggested workflow for configuring the model is:

1. Make sure the project contains at least one of the [[{{{TPS}}} Model Configuration]] model, and the model is loaded with the correct {{{TPS}}} database file you would like to use for the side calculation.
2. On the [[#{{{TPS}}}SideCalc_tab_page|{{{TPS}}}SideCalc]] tab page, type in the name of the SysCAD stream/s or content you wish to evaluate (e.g.: P_001.Qo OR TNK_001.QFeed). Multiple streams with multipliers may be specified.
3. Choose when to perform the calculation.
4. On the TCE tab page, select the correct ChemModel (to match step 1) (Note: In older builds, this selection was made on the [[#{{{TPS}}}SideCalc_tab_page|{{{TPS}}}SideCalc]] tab page).
5. Choose the Target Calculation OpMode and fill in the required information based on the mode selection. (Note: In older builds, these selections were made on the [[#{{{TPS}}}SideCalc_tab_page|{{{TPS}}}SideCalc]] tab page).
6. Perform an equilibrium calculation by pressing the "Calculate" button on the [[#{{{TPS}}}SideCalc_tab_page|{{{TPS}}}SideCalc]] tab page or pressing Solve in SysCAD.
7. The Results are displayed on the [[#{{{TPS}}}Results tab page|{{{TPS}}}Results]] and Output tabs.

Suggestions on how to use the results:

• The {{{TPS}}} Side Calc results can be used to assist with the configuration of with a SysCAD unit, normally with Reactions sub-model switched on. Based on the results of the {{{TPS}}} Side Calc, the reaction and reaction extents can be configured to match results from the {{{TPS}}} Side Calc. The user can use the Set Tag Controller to transfer {{{TPS}}} Side Calc results to the SysCAD unit reaction block.
