Software Sequential-Modular

Simultaneous Modular. There has been an almost continuum of architectures suggested to take advantage of the better features of sequential modular, linear and simultaneous architectures. Most of these suggestions seek to retain the calculation modules (since millions of dollars have been invested in sequential modular software) and thus the name simultaneous modular has been applied. FLOWPACK II (93) apparently has some simultaneous modular features. [Pg.31]

The two basic flowsheet software architectures are sequential modular and equation-based. In sequential modular, we write each unit model so that it calculates output(s), given feed(s), and unit parameters. This is the most commonly used flowsheeting architecture at present, and examples include Aspen+ plus Hysys (AspenTech), ChemCAD, and PROll (SimSci). In equation-based (or open-system) architectures, all equations are written describing material and energy balances as algebraic equations in the form/(x) = 0. This is the preferred architecture for new simulators and optimization, and examples include Speedup (AspenTech) and gPROMS (PSE pic). Each is discussed in turn. [Pg.1338]

It may be concluded that Sequential-Modular approach keeps a dominant position in steady state simulation. The Equation-Oriented approach has proved its potential in dynamic simulation, and real time optimisation. The solution for the future generations of flowsheeting software seems to be a fusion of these strategies. The release 11.1 of Aspen Plus (2002) incorporates for the first time EO features in the environment of a SM simulator. [Pg.47]

Two extremes are encountered in flowsheeting software. At one extreme, the entire set of equations (and inequalities) representing the process is employed. This representation is known as the equation-oriented method of flowsheeting. The equations can be solved in a sequential fashion analogous to the modular representation described below or simultaneously by Newton s method, Broyden s method, or by employing sparse matrix techniques to reduce the extent of matrix manipulations. Refer to the review by Evans and Chapter 5. ... [Pg.197]
