Optimizer - Parameter Window
This window is used to select the reference unit operation or stream for an optimizer objective function or constraint. You also have the option of specifying a constant value for the second parameter of an expression.
Usage
This window is opened by clicking on the "Parameter" text in the Objective Function box in the Optimizer Main Window or in the constraints table in the Flowsheet Optimizer Constraints Window.
1. Select the parameter type from the Stream/Unit drop-down list box.
2. If you have selected a unit operation or stream, select the particular unit or stream in the flowsheet whose parameter is required from the Unit Name or Stream Name drop-down list box. Then click on the "Parameter..." text to display the Parameter Selection Window from which you can select the actual parameter. After a selection is made the "Parameter..." text will be replaced by a text describing the selected parameter.
3. Push the OK button to confirm the selection.
The procedure for selecting the second objective function or constraint parameter is similar to above except that the second parameter may be a constant value.
