Section 7 Overview

Please use these videos together with Section 7 of the SysCAD Introductory Tutorial, which is distributed with the SysCAD full install.

We will continue to use the project that we have constructed and modified in the previous sections of the Tutorial as well as an existing project, Tut.07.1(CCD Circuit Only).spf.

In this section we use will carry out the following exercises:

  1. Open a project with an alternate configuration;
  2. Merge 2 projects together;
  3. Make modifications to the merged project; and
  4. Connect the 2 flowsheets in the merged project.
