Simimica©  Process Simulators
Product Descriptions

The table below lists Simimica© process functions.  Steady state simulator, Simimica MB©, defines process operations such as stream adding, stream splitting, component splitting, and chemical reaction.  With dynamic simulator, Simimica CTL©, the suite of functions is extended to include dynamic functions for transfer analysis, integration, and process control analysis.  Simimica CRYOBAL Steam Plant Cycle© is a heat and material balance process simulator designed to analyze steam power plant cycles and other steam systems such as pulp and paper evaporator processes.

The following process functions are available:

On-Line, Context Sensitive User's Manual Including Tutorial
Each Simimica© Process Simulators includes an on-line, context sensitive User's Manual that has a detailed, multi-problem tutorial.  The software packages for Simimica MB© and Simimica CTL© also include folders of over twenty additional example problems demonstrating steady state simulation, time varying simulation, control loop analysis, transfer function solution, chemical process control, electrical and mechanical system analysis, as well as solution to systems of ordinary differential equations.  The Simimica CRYOBAL Steam Plant Cycle© Tutorial emphasizes power plant steam cycles and evaporation processes.

Simulator Implementation
A process flow sheet is created in a "block and line" format using the graphical interface.  The "blocks" represent process functions, and the "lines", representing process streams, are drawn to connect the "blocks".  Once the process flow sheet has been drawn, numerical data is entered using function-specific data input dialogs.  The program automatically calculates a steady state or dynamic (time varying) material balance (Simimica MB© or Simimica CTL©) or a steady state heat and material balance (Simimica CRYOBAL Steam Plant Cycle©).  The calculation results for Simimica MB© and Simimica CTL© consist of component and stream flow rates for each time increment.  The calculation results for Simimica CRYOBAL Steam Plant Cycle© consist of stream thermodynamic properties and flow rates.  The calculation results may be viewed, printed, and downloaded.  Simimica MB©'s steady state output is available in tabular format.  Simimica CTL©'s dynamic output is automatically displayed in time varying, plotted format and is also available in tabular format.  Simimica CRYOBAL Steam Plant Cycle©'s steady state output is available in tabular format.

Product Review of Simimica MB© in Control Engineering
Read the product review of an earlier version of Simimica MB©,   November 2001 Article in Control Engineering: "Easily Create Process Flows, Material Balances".

Do Simimica© Process Simulators have a capacity limit?
Simimica© Process Simulators, Simimica MB© and Simimica CTL©, will program an unlimited number of components, process streams, and process functions.  Simimica CRYOBAL Steam Plant Cycle©, will program an unlimited number of process streams and process functions.  Only the memory capacity of the specific computer will limit this capability.  Numerical limits have been internally coded for some variables, but it is highly unlikely that these values will be exceeded before the dynamic memory of your PC is exceeded.
