Welcome to the SciLab CAPE-OPEN unit operation. This is a steady-state CAPE-OPEN unit operation that allows you to do calculation in SciLab. A CAPE-OPEN unit operation can be plugged in to CAPE-OPEN compliant simulation environments. All main-stream process simulators have support for CAPE-OPEN. As an example, you can use this unit operation in the free CAPE-OPEN flowsheet simulator COCO.
To get started with the SciLab CAPE-OPEN unit operation, start your CAPE-OPEN capable simulation environment. Insert a SciLab CAPE-OPEN unit operation. Edit a unit operation. Define feed and product ports. Go back to the simulation environment and connect streams to the ports.
Now edit the unit operation again. On the SciLab tab you can enter the SciLab calculation script.
SciLab version 5.02 or higher must be installed and running on your system; it is available from http://www.scilab.org/.
The SciLab CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation uses CAPE-OPEN version 1.1 thermodynamics. It will therefore only run in simulation environments that support this CAPE-OPEN version.
The SciLab CAPE-OPEN unit operation was developed by AmsterCHEM.
