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). In Build 139 or later, multiple streams with multipliers can 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.
