1.1 Engineering
As you have seen in the User Guide and Simulation Basis manual,
HYSYS has been uniquely created with respect to the program
architecture, interface design, engineering capabilities, and interactive
operation. The integrated steady state and dynamic modeling
capabilities, where the same model can be evaluated from either
perspective with full sharing of process information, represent a
significant advancement in the industry.
The various components that make up HYSYS have produced an
extremely powerful approach to steady state process modeling. At a
fundamental level, the comprehensive selection of operations and
property methods allows you to model a wide range of processes with
confidence. Perhaps even more important is how the HYSYS approach
to modeling maximizes your return on simulation time through
increased process understanding. The key to this last fact is the Event
Driven operation. By using a degrees of freedom approach, calculations
in HYSYS are performed automatically. HYSYS performs calculations as
soon as unit operations and property packages have enough required
information.
Any results, including passing partial information when a complete
calculation cannot be performed, is propagated bi-directionally
throughout the flowsheet. What this means is that you can start your
simulation in any location, using the available information to its
greatest advantage. Since results are available immediately - including
as calculations are being performed - you gain the greatest
understanding of each individual aspect of your process.
The multi-flowsheet architecture of HYSYS is vitally important to this
overall approach to modeling. Although HYSYS has been designed to
allow the use of multiple property packages and the creation of pre-built
templates, the greatest advantage of multi-flowsheeting is that it
provides an extremely effective way to organize large processes. By
breaking flowsheets into smaller components, you can easily isolate any
aspect for detailed analysis. Each of these sub-processes is part of the
overall simulation, automatically calculating like any other operation.
