Often in HYSYS, more than one method exists for performing a

task or executing a command. Many times you can use the

keyboard, the mouse, or a combination of both to achieve the

same result. The steady state tutorials attempt to illustrate

HYSYS' flexibility by showing you as many of these alternative

methods as possible. You can then choose which approach is

most appropriate for you.

The dynamics tutorials use the steady state solution as a basis

for building the dynamic case. If you like, you can build the

steady state case and then proceed with the dynamic solution,

or you can simply call up the steady state case from disk and

begin the dynamic modeling.

The Balance operation will be installed in the main example. In

the Optional Study section, the Adjust and Spreadsheet

operations will be installed to investigate the effect of the LTS

temperature on the sales gas heating value.

The two primary building tools, the Workbook and the PFD, will

be used to install the streams and operations and to examine

the results while progressing through the simulation. Both of

these tools provide you with a lot of flexibility in building your

simulation and in quickly accessing the information you need.

The Workbook will be used to build the first part of the

flowsheet, starting with the feed streams and building up to and

including the gas/gas heat exchanger. The PFD will be used to

install the remaining operations, from the chiller through to the

column.
The Simulation Basis Manager property view allows you to

create, modify, and manipulate fluid packages in your

simulation case. Most of the time, as with this example, you

will require only one fluid package for your entire simulation.
