PFD Toolbar

The toolbar is displayed across the top of the Main Window, below the menu bar and above the draw area, to give quick access to some of the data entry windows and operations that can be performed on objects in the draw area.

Push To

 Show or hide the Unit Operation Palette (PFD Palette).

 Enter the Problem Descriptive Information for the current simulation.

 Enter the Default Units of Measure for the Input Data for the current simulation.

 Enter the Component Data for the current simulation.

 Enter the Component Fixed Property Data for the current simulation.

 Select the thermodynamic method to be used for the current simulation.

 Enter the Assay sets for the current simulation.

 Enter the Reaction Data for the current simulation.

 Enter the Procedure Data for the current simulation.

 Enter Case Study Data.

 Select a calculation sequence method. The method can be a built-in algorithm or be explicitly defined by you.

 Specify the recycle data and acceleration methods to be applied for all the recycle loops in the simulation, or to specify the methods separately for each individual loop.

 Displays the Find and Rename Units Window from which you can select or rename a unit operation in the flowsheet.

 Displays the Find and Rename Streams Window from which you can select or rename a stream in the flowsheet.

 Perform an Adiabatic Flash calculation on the selected Stream.

 Generate tables and plots of K-values and fugacity coefficients against liquid and vapor composition at the specified temperature and pressure for the selected stream.

 Display the Tag Modification window where you may add new tag data, or find, modify, and delete existing tag data.

 Run the flowsheet simulation.

 Stop the flowsheet simulation.

 View the simulation results.

 Generate a report for a completed simulation.

 Delete the selected objects in the draw area. This button is available only when a selection is made in the draw area.

 Zoom the flowsheet in or out by using the buttons.

 View the entire flowsheet in the window.

 Select a region in the draw area that will fill the entire view area by zooming in.

 Redraw the flowsheet drawing to remove any extraneous objects in the draw area.

 Enter the What is? Help Mode to change the shape of the cursor. Position it on an object and left-click to display help for that object.
