Agilent-UWB Wireless Test Benches

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300864.html

The UWB_TX transmitter test bench provides a way for users to connect to an RF circuitdevice under test (RF DUT) and determine its performance by activating various testbench measurements. This test bench provides signal measurements for RF envelope,signal power (including CCDF), constellation, spectrum, and EVM.

The signal and most of the measurements are designed according to WiMedia MultibandOFDM Physical Layer Specification, Release 1.1.The UWB frame structure is illustrated in the following figure. Each frame is composed ofthe PLCP preamble, PLCP header and MAC frame body, tail bits and pad bits. (PLCP meansphysical layer convergence procedure , PSDU means PLCP service data units )

Quoting your string-variablesWithin the perl scripts, it is required to use vertical quoted strings (' ' or"" ) wherever the chosen value happens to be a perl command, otherwise yourscript will not run correctly.
Within the perl scripts, it is highly recommended that youquote all strings to reduce the possibility of generating errors. In perl, single quotes (' ') represent text as is, with no variable substitution. Double quotes ( "") perform variable substitution. For example, "$myVar" will be substituted by its value if itis in double quotes, while '$myVar' will just be equal to $myVar if it is in single quotes.

Agilent-Guide to Digital Predistortion

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300867.html

Digital predistortion linearizes the non-linear response of a power amplifier over anoperating region. It uses digital signal processing techniques to condition a basebandsignal prior to modulation, up-conversion, and amplification by the power amplifier.Digital Predistortion within Advanced Design System uses a series of system simulationsand system sub-networks developed and implemented to evaluate the performance ofdigital predistortion.

The implemented designs contain sufficient flexibility such that avariety of system sub-networks and a large number of system parameters can be readilychanged so that the impact of those changes on system performance can be evaluated.

Agilent > Agilent-IBIS Models

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300869.html

Use the Alias tab to set up advanced sweeps of the IBIS files and models. Such sweepswork only with the BatchSimController available in the Simulation-Batch palette. It isrequired that all the aliases are set simultaneously in this tab (except for the InvPinNameAlias in the case of non-differential buffers), and defined as external variables properlylinked to the controller.
The batch simulation must be set to run individual simulations inseparate processes. For details about using batch simulation to sweep IBIS files, seeSweeping IBIS Files (cktsimbatch).

Agilent Using Verilog-A and Verilog-AMS in Advanced Design System

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300874.html

One powerful feature of Verilog-A is that a user can make modifications to the equationsthat describe the behavior of the device. These changes can be available in the simulatorautomatically, with no loss of analysis functionality. Many models will be distributed withtheir source code with the expectation that end-users will modify the equations for anynumber of reasons.

For example, the user may want the equations to better reflect someaspect of their device behavior, or they may want to delete code that is not necessary todescribe their device behavior, thereby improving simulation performance.In this example, the PSFETV model will be modified slightly. During simulation, theprogram searches for the source code based on pre-defined search paths (discussed indetail later), in the project directory veriloga, or as specifically defined using a VerilogA_Load component.1.If necessary, copy the project Tutorial_prj from the Examples/Verilog-A directory to a local directory. This tutorial contains a directory called veriloga that includes a filecalled psfetv.va .

This file is a copy of the parker_skellern.va file distributed in theVerilog-A Design Kit, with the module name changed to psfetv to prevent unintendedoverwriting of the other model.2.Open the design file tutorial_PSFETV.dsn and run a simulation to verify that the results are the same as the previous example.3.Using any text editor, open the psfetv.va file.

Dielectric Labs C11 and C17 Capacitor ModelThe equivalent circuit model design of the Dielectric Labs C11 and C17 series is the sameas the CAPP2 model with one additional feature: this model has been enhanced to includean extra parameter based on the mounting orientation of the device.
The ResonantFrequency, FR, a parameter of the CAPP2 capacitor model is calculated depending onwhether the device is flat- or edge-mounted. If the device is edge-mounted, then theResonant Frequency is doubled compared to when the device is flat-mounted. In theLayout window, the rectangular dimensions representing the capacitor accurately reflectwhether the device is flat- or edge-mounted.

Agilent-HSPICE Compatibility

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300792.html

With HSPICE compatibility this file is used directly, with no import conversions or filechanges necessary. When the HSPICE Compatibility Wizard is used, it will detect the filetype and will generate an ADS component that can be placed within an ADS schematic. The wizard gives the option of promoting one or more of the nodes used by top levelcircuit elements to be input/output terminals that can then be connected to other ADSelements.

Or the file can be used without any input/output terminals; it is simply placedas a black box. After the component is placed, you must still place ADS simulationcomponents in the circuit; all HSPICE simulation directives are automatically ignored.Also available in the wizard is the ability to specify that parameters that are defined in.param statements can be passed in to the circuit.
This means you can modify them inADS, without having to modify the HSPICE file. It also means you can select thoseparameters and modify them as a part of ADS tuning.

To selectively enable a smaller number of those kits, use the Copy and Pastebuttons in the design kit setup dialog to enable only the design kits needed at the USERLEVEL.If, however, all users on the network will only ever use one design kit at a time, the SITELEVEL can be enabled by the CAD manager for all users by setting theDESIGN_KIT_LEVELS_ENABLED variable in $HPEESOF_DIR/custom/config/design_kit.cfg.Enter this line:

DESIGN_KIT_LEVELS_ENABLED=SITE:USER:STARTUP: PROJECT or simplyDESIGN_KIT_LEVELS_ENABLED=SITE if no user configurations are expected. The enduser can always enable other levels without disabling the SITE level. A copy ofdesign_kit.cfg in $HOME/hpeesof/config will be created and take precedence over thoseunder $HPEESOF_DIR.

Agilent-Circuit Envelope Simulation

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300778.html

Circuit Envelope assumes that the signal can be expressed in time domain as the productof an envelope and a carrier. In frequency domain, the spectrum of the carrier is adiscrete grid of frequency components. The spectrum of the envelope is continuous in alimited bandwidth around each frequency component of the carrier.

Normally, CircuitEnvelope is more efficient than a broadband Transient when the envelope spectra atadjacent carrier frequency components do not overlap. Otherwise, the broadbandTransient or SPICE would be a better alternative. Although there are sporadic cases withoverlapping spectra where Circuit Envelope still works better than a Transient, CircuitEnvelope is not generally recommended for overlapping spectra. Particularly, when thereis an oscillator involved, overlapping spectra might cause convergence problems.

Also,envelope noise is not rigorously correct when envelope spectra overlap, because noise inthe overlapping spectra is double counted.

Agilent-Documentation of the FBH HBT Model

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300783.html

1 IntroductionIn recent years, heterobipolar transistors became available in commercial GaAs MMICtechnology. Due to their ability to operate at high current densities they are the devicesof choice for power amplifiers, e.g. in mobile phones. Also InP-based HBT technologies forhigh-speed circuits are available. The lower 1/f noise compared to HEMTs also qualifiesthe devices for oscillator applications.

While technology is mature and industry alreadyships large numbers of HBT-based MMICs, the model development for circuit design lacksbehind. The designer has the choice between about a dozen built-in models for GaAs-basedFETs in standard circuit simulators, but models for GaAs-based HBTs are rare. This onlyleaves the choice to use either sophisticated models taylored for Si devices, the simpleSPICE-type Gummel-Poon (GP) model, or to do the full design with a linear S-parameterbased model.

None of the approaches is satisfactory.This document attempts to fill this gap. It deals with extensions of the GP model thatare necessary for the description of HBTs, and eventually lead to the development of theFBH model.Before going into details, it is necessary to point out that state-of-the-art GaAs-basedHBTs are quite ideal devices.
• The semi-insulating substrate prevents parasitic substrate effects that have to beaccounted for on silicon.
• In a good technology, surface or interface related problems such as parasitic currentsare negligible, and even thermal runaway can be supressed by proper emitter or basefeedback or by thermal shunt technology.
Two effects, however, are most important to simulate HBTs. The first one is self-heating, the second is the current dependence of the transit frequency, caused by highcurrent injection into the collector. These effects will be presented in greater detail in thefollowing.All exampes in this paper are measured at GaInP/GaAs HBTs fabricated on the 400process line of the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut [1].

Agilent-DC Simulation

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300694.html

Simulation BasicsThe simulators compute the response of a given circuit to a particular stimulus byconverting, based on certain assumptions, a system of nonlinear ordinary differentialcircuit equations into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations and then solving themnumerically. The various simulators convert ordinary differential equations to algebraicequations differently and use different numerical techniques for solving the resultingalgebraic equations, leading to the many different simulator flavors (DC, AC, S-parameter,transient, harmonic balance, circuit envelope).

For example, the DC and the harmonicbalance simulators treat the d/dt operator differently, leading to different algebraicequations. The numerical simulation techniques rely on various iterative processes toachieve mathematical convergence toward an equilibrium point in the nonlinear algebraicequations that describe the circuit.

Once this equilibrium point is reached to within certaintolerances, a solution is said to have been found.The specific assumptions for the DC simulator are described in Simulation Assumptions.

Agilent S-Parameter Simulation

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300696.html

To calculate group delay:Proceed as in Simulating an Amplifier, setting frequencies and sweep parameters as 1.needed.Edit the S-Parameters component, select the Parameters tab, and enable Group 2.delay.Group delay aperture is an option that is found on network analyzers and behaves 3.similarly here.
The simulator sets the frequency aperture to 0.01% of the currentfrequency. To override the default frequency aperture, enable Group delayaperture and edit the value as needed.Click OK to accept changes and close the dialog box. 4.Simulate. When the simulation is finished, plot the group delay data items, identified 5.by the prefix delay.
This is the absolute group delay, in seconds.Hint If the group delay data appears noisy, increase the value in the Group delay aperture field. If the results appear inaccurate, decrease the value. Generally, adjusting this value by a factor of 10 (in the appropriate direction) improves noisy or inaccurate results.For an example of group delay data, see Obtaining Group Delay Data (cktsim).

Agilent-IC ARTWORK

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300699.html

Spiral inductors, especially on IC??s, has often very small spacing between the turns. The thicknessof the trace is changing the impedance of the trace but also increases the coupling between turns.
Momentum assumes that all metal traces are infinite thin in the EM simulation. A first orderapproximation of modeling the thickness of the conductors can be done by adding an air layer tothe Momentum substrate setup. The thickness of the air layer is set to the height of the conductor.
Then map one layout layer on top of the Air layer and one below the Air layer. A via layer is thendefined to connect between these two layers. See Fig 3.
Note! Thickness of the metal layers are set to half of the thickness of the conductor.

PRO/II Component Data Keyword Manual

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300701.html

Hydrocarbons often are classified by the bonds between the carbon atoms. Four important types include paraffins (or alkanes) having only single bonds, olefins (one or more double bonds), naphthenes (cycloalkanes), and aromatics (containing at least one benzene ring). These are commonly referred to collectively as PONA components.

PRO/II also supports several other component types. Petroleum components typically are discrete composite pseudo-components that exhibit the bulk properties of different types of hydrocarbons mixed in a continuous stream.Petroleum components may be defined on the PETROLEUM statement (Chapter 2), or derived from assay stream data (Chapter 32 of the PRO/II Keyword Manual). They are characterized by the program to generate pseudocomponent properties according to the methods described in this chapter.

Although the default characterization methods are suitable for most petroleum applications, the user has the flexibility to choose other methods, if desired.SYNCOMP and SYNLIQ components are modeling adjuncts of petroleum components. They are defined directly by supplying a basic set of property data, instead of determining them from assay analysis.

UniSim Design Customization Guide

Automation allows programmers to expose objects within a program for use by other applications. The exposed objects provide the means by which different applications can interact with each other and the operating system. Automation is a standard based on Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM).

It is not necessary to understand all the intricacies of Automation or COM in order to utilize the functionality they provide. Automation evolved from what was once called OLE, which stands for Object Linking and Embedding.

This allowed you to take a particular object such as a spreadsheet and embed it into another object such as a text document. Changes to values in the spreadsheet would automatically be updated in the text document. This was a very powerful feature and was available to users without the added complexity of writing code. It was simply a matter of cutting and pasting the objects.

SIM4ME Translation of Models

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300707.html


In its sustained efforts to be very user friendly, PRO/II allows the user to take many short cuts when constructing a flow sheet. For instance, in reality, streams don't just originate or terminate into thin air.

They are connected to a feed or product tank or another process. Similarly, you will ever see a multiple streams (i.e., pipes) directly flowing into a valve; they will need to be ninitially mixed in some sort of mixer, header or tank. Thus, the representation of this process in the Common Data Model will be:

To arrive at the minimal physical representation, the model was altered from four streams and one-piece equipment to five streams and six pieces of equipment. This configuration will allow for a more realistic translation into other flow sheet styles, be it Dynsim or ROMeo. The second step of the translation is to move from the ??Common Data Model?? representation to an actual Dynsim or ROMeo flow sheet. Here, additional equipment may be introduced to satisfy the requirements of this software.

1.1.1 Event DrivenThis concept combines the power of interactive simulation with instantaneous access to information. Interactive simulation means the information is processed as it is supplied and calculations are performed automatically. Also, you are not restricted to the program location where the information is supplied.

1.1.2 Modular OperationsModular Operations are combined with the Non-Sequential solution algorithm. Not only is information processed as it is supplied, but the results of any calculation are automatically produced throughout the flowsheet, both forwards and backwards. The modular structure of the operations means they can be calculated in either direction, using information in an outlet stream to calculate inlet conditions. Process understanding is gained at every step because the operations calculate automatically and results are seen immediately.

1.1.3 Multi-flowsheet ArchitectureMulti-flowsheet architecture can be used to create any number of flowsheets within a simulation and to easily associate a fluid package with a defined group of unit operations.

Agilent-Advanced Model Composer

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300665.html

Advanced Model Composer and Model Composer rely on a unique, patented, EM-(Momentum) based modeling method, thus providing EM accuracy and generality attraditional circuit simulation speed. Models are generated in an up-front model generationstep and added to the model database associated with the layout component. Modelsgenerated by AMC can be recognized by their .pml extension.

AMC provides an option for populating the model database of a Layout component, upfront, prior to using the Layout component in a schematic. Typically, the model databaseof a Layout component is updated with Momentum simulation data on-the-fly, while usingthe Layout component in a schematic.AMC uses an adaptive rational/polynomial curve fitting algorithm, which is a multi-dimensional version of Momentum's Adaptive Frequency Sampling (AFS) algorithm.The .rat (=RATional) files generated by Momentum's AFS algorithm contain informationabout the rational fitting model of single Momentum simulations. There can be multiple.rat files in the model database for a single layout component.

The AMC algorithms combine multiple .rat files into one global .pml (Passive ModelLibrary) file. This file contains the multi-dimensional rational/polynomial model that isused to represent the S-data in the user-defined parameter/design space.

Agilent 3GPP W-CDMA Design Library

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300672.html

W-CDMA for the third generation (typically referred to as 3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project ) evolved fromthe technical proposals from Japan and Europe for third-generation wireless communications. The convergence of3GPP specifications is based on inputs from global contributors. 3GPP offers service rates up to 2 Mbps. 3GPP is acomplete protocol stack covering issues ranging from the physical layer to network control aspects.

This 3GPP design library focuses on the physical layer, which includes the following functionalities.Macro diversity distribution/combining and soft hand-over executionError detection on transport channels and indication to higher layersForward error control (FEC) encoding/decoding of transport channelsMultiplexing of transport channels and demultiplexing of coded composite transport channelsRate matching:

Agilent X-Parameter Generator

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300673.html
Reference SignalThe Large Signal Operating Point (LSOP) for X-parameters is always defined with onereference signal per fundamental frequency.
In order to enforce time invariance and avoidduplicate measurements, the phase of this reference signal is defined to be zero and isnever swept. A message is displayed on the status window indicating which signal waschosen as the reference signal.

To understand why a reference signal is needed, consider a simple LSOP consisting of onelarge tone at a single frequency.
A large signal AM/AP with magnitude M and phase P issimply a time-delayed version of a large signal AN with magnitude M and phase 0. Timeinvariance principle states that the response to AM/AP should be exactly the same as the time-delayed response to AN, so there is no need to store X-parameters for both sets ofstimulus.
Instead the X-parameters are always measured at phase 0, and the simulationof XnP Components (X1P - X10P) (ccsim) uses time invariance to predict the response tophase-shifted (or time-delayed) signals.
Selection of the reference signal(s) during X-parameter generation and while using X-parameter files with such reference data are both handled internally by the ADS simulatorand requires no input from you.

As a minimum, a Fluid Package contains the components and property method (for example, an Equation of State) UniSim Design will use in its calculations for a particular flowsheet. Depending on what is required in a specific flowsheet, a Fluid Package may also contain other information such as reactions and interaction parameters. You will first define your fluid package by selecting the components in this simulation case.
1.3.1 Selecting ComponentsUniSim Design has an internal stipulation that at least one component must be added to a component list that is associated to a fluid package.

To fulfil this requirement you must add a minimum of a single component even when the compositional data is not needed. For black oil streams, depending on the information available, you have the option to either specify the gas components compositions or the gas density to define the gas phase of the stream.

For any given design/revamp project there will always be multiple solutions regarding process structure, even when a decision on the technologies to use has been reached (e.g., distillation vs. absorption). The number of alternatives tends to be so large that there is no realistic hope of analyzing them all even at the simplest level.

A classic example of this is found in separation systems for multi-component mixtures as illustrated in the figure below:
For the separation of a ternary mixture using distillation columns, we have only 2 solutions available: the direct and the indirect sequence.As we increase the number of components in the feed to the separation system we witness a combinatorial explosion.

For the example above, a mixture containing five components results in fourteen alternative flowsheets, and a feed with eight components results in four hundred and twenty nine possible configurations.

For the variable to stabilize the following information is required:
• basis for calculation
• bandwidth about the basis (percent or absolute)
• period that the variable must be within the bandwidthThe basis for calculation is a selected simulation variable from your case.
The percentage bandwidth is specified as a percent delta from the average value over the stabilization period. The condition evaluates True when the selected variable value is within the given bandwidth for the specified length of time.

You can view what the variable movement has been over the most recent stabilization period. The Variable Stability field shows the variable movement in either engineering units or percent depending on the type of tolerance you selected.Action List TabThe user may define zero or more actions which execute once the Condition is met. The user might specify no actions, if the user wants to simply perform a branching operation.

The name and type of the action selected in the List Of Actions For This Event group can be changed in the Individual Action Specification group. The Name field allows you to change the action name while the Type drop-down list provides the available action types. After an action type is selected, the Configuration group changes to show the information required for the action type.Specify VariableThe Specify Variable action requires an Object and a Value.

Neutral SpeciesNeutral molecules in water are affected by other species in a solution. The salting in and out of a gas is a typical example. When oxygen is dissolved in pure water, it has a typical solubility. When salt is added, the oxygen solubility decreases.
This is most likely due to interactions of sodium and chloride ions reacting with the neutral oxygen molecule.
B.8 Mixed Solvent ModelThe model1 is developed to handle electrolyte systems ranging from infinite dilution to solid saturation or pure solute limit and for various completely miscible inorganic systems over a full concentration range.
Also, the model is capable of representing phase equilibria in multicomponent inorganic systems containg multiple salts, acids, and bases. Complex phase behavior such as formation of multiple hydrated salts, double salts, or the presence of eutectic points can be accurately represented. The model is equally valid for classical aqueous systems, those with more than one distinct solvent and mixtures in whihc a given component may continuously vary from being a solute to being a solvent.

2.1 IntroductionThe Operations Mode is a tool available in ExchangerNet for the analysis of the performance of an existing heat exchanger network (HEN) design when the operating conditions change. Decrease in the exchanger's heat transfer due to fouling, removal of an exchanger from service, changes in inlet temperatures or mass flowrate of process streams are among the possible operating variables you may consider to modify. Results showing the impact in the design are automatically provided when new values for one or more of these operating variables are entered.
2.2.1 Process StreamsThe process streams are the streams containing the fluid you want to heat or cool.In Operations mode, the inlet temperature and mass flow rate values of the process streams are taken from the specified values in the Design mode. There are two types of outlet temperature for the process stream: Calculated and Target.
• The Calculated outlet temperature is a calculated value based on the specified conditions of the heat exchanger and inlet stream temperature.
• The Target outlet temperature is the specified/desired value from the Design mode.
For example, in a refinery plant the refinery operators try to maintain the crude outlet temperature from a heat exchanger at 330?ヮ Unfortunately, the crude outlet temperature from the exchanger is usually around 310?ムdue to fouling in the exchanger.

In the standard UniSim Design modeling environment, the sub-flowsheet lets you provide a logical grouping of operations to facilitate understanding of the process behaviour. In addition, it provides the mechanism to encapsulate a solver (i.e., the Column sub-flowsheet) or to use different fluid packages (thermodynamics, component slates, etc.) within a simulation. For optimization, the sub-flowsheet provides the same benefits plus a number of additional capabilities for the simultaneous modular approach. Foremost, it provides a location where the standard propagation of information can be broken. Once a model is torn for optimization, information does not propagate from one sub-flowsheet to another.

This limits calculations to only those needed at a point in time. Similarly, by selecting the structure of the Sub-flowsheets appropriately, unnecessary equations are never posed to the optimizer. In addition, if derivatives are being generated numerically, the potential for noise in the generated derivatives is minimized by constructing suitably sized Sub-flowsheets. For operations that deliver analytical derivatives, these must be encapsulated within a single sub-flowsheet. For example, UniSim Design columns being solved by the Newton solver are able to deliver the Jacobian matrix to the optimizer directly. Extension unit operations that deliver analytical derivatives are handled in the same manner.

Rigorous three phase calculations are performed for all equations of state and activity models with the exception of the Wilson equation, which only performs two phase vapour-liquid calculations. UniSim Thermo uses internal intelligence to determine when it can perform a flash calculation on a stream, and then what type of flash calculation needs to be performed on the stream.
This is based completely on the degrees of freedom concept. When the composition of a stream and two property variables are known, (vapour fraction, temperature, pressure, enthalpy or entropy, one of which must be either temperature or pressure), the thermodynamic state of the stream is defined.

Predict-SW for UniSim Design Overview

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300598.html

UniSim Design (Release R380) now provides users with access to Predict-SW (Release Version 2.0) through the UniSim Design interface. This document will provide users with a brief background on Predict-SW and information needed to utilize it. Predict-SW is a user-friendly software system, which incorporates comprehensive data obtained in a joint industry sponsored program conducted by Honeywell International Inc.

between March 2000 and February 2003 entitled "Prediction and Assessment of Ammonium Bi-sulfide Corrosion under Refinery Sour Water Service Conditions". Data from this program, combined with flow modeling calculations on plant tubing/piping configurations are used to predict the corrosion rates of the fourteen materials studied over a wide range of NH4HS concentration, H2S partial pressure, temperature, hydrocarbon content and chemical treatment.

Within UniSim Design, Predict-SW can be launched as a Thermo Utility and stream data can be transferred to Predict-SW and the results from Predict-SW are sent back to UniSim Design. The following sections are used to illustrate how users can attach the Predict-SW utility to a particular stream and get corrosion rate predictions from UniSim Design. Some details on Predict-SW program limitations are also presented.

UniSim Design PIPESYS User Guide

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300597.html

A pipeline must transport fluids over diverse topography and under varied conditions. Ideally this would be done efficiently with a correctly sized pipeline that adequately accounts for pressure drop, heat losses and includes the properly specified and sized inline facilities, such as compressors, heaters or fittings. Due to the complexity of pipeline network calculations, this often proves a difficult task. It is not uncommon that during the design phase an over-sized pipe is chosen to compensate for inaccuracies in the pressure loss calculations. With multi-phase flow, this can lead to greater pressure and temperature losses, increased requirements for liquid handling and increased pipe corrosion.
Accurate fluid modelling helps to avoid these and other complications and results in a more economic pipeline system. To accomplish this requires single and multi-phase flow technology that is capable of accurately and efficiently simulating the pipeline flow. PIPESYS has far-reaching capabilities to accurately and powerfully model pipeline hydraulics. It uses the most reliable single and multi-phase flow technology available to simulate pipeline flow.

Functioning as a seamless extension to UniSim Design, PIPESYS has access to UniSim Design features such as the component database and fluid properties. PIPESYS includes many inline equipment and facility options relevant to pipeline construction and testing. The extension models pipelines that stretch over varied elevations and environments.

UniSim Design PIPESYS Tutorial

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300596.html

3.2.3 Compare CompressorsThe PIPESYS calculations indicate that when a 1000 hp compressor is used the wellhead pressure is lower than when a 750 hp compressor is used. However, this may not result in an economically significant higher production rate, especially if these pressures are located on the steeper region of the wellhead performance curve. Figure 3.4, Figure 3.5 and Figure 3.6 at the end of this application show the wellhead performance curves for Well A, Well B and Well C, respectively.

These curves can be used to evaluate compressor size that would be most economical for use in a particular pipeline network.Locate 686.7 psia and 753.2 psia on the Well A wellhead curve and you should find that these correspond to flows of 11.1 MMSCFD and 10.8 MMSCFD, respectively. This indicates that the 1000 hp compressor would increase production by less than 5%, over that of the 750 hp compressor.

It is therefore reasonable to conclude that adding compression to the system is worthwhile since both compressors lower the wellhead pressures by a large amount, but the small increase in production may not be enough to justify the choice of the 1000 hp compressor. For this example, assume that economic and engineering considerations favour installing the 750 hp compressor.

UniSim Design Operations Guide

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/300594.html

In modeling operations, UniSim Design uses a Degrees of Freedom approach, which increases the flexibility with which solutions are obtained. For most operations, you are not constrained to provide information in a specific order, or even to provide a specific set of information. As you provide information to the operation, UniSim Design calculates any unknowns that can be determined based on what you have entered.For instance, consider the Pump operation. If you provide a fully-defined inlet stream to the pump, UniSim Design immediately passes the composition and flow to the outlet.

If you then provide a percent efficiency and pressure rise, the outlet and energy streams is fully defined. If, on the other hand, the flowrate of the inlet stream is undefined, UniSim Design cannot calculate any outlet conditions until you provide three parameters, such as the efficiency, pressure rise, and work. In the case of the Pump operation, there are three degrees of freedom, thus, three parameters are required to fully define the outlet stream.All information concerning a unit operation can be found on the tabs and pages of its property view. Each tab in the property view contains pages which pertain to the unit operation, such as its stream connections, physical parameters (for example, pressure drop and energy input), or dynamic parameters such as vessel rating and valve information.
