This tutorial will teach you all of the basic steps that you need to know to create your first simulation model using CADSIM Plus simulation software.
To successfully complete the lessons in this tutorial you should have a working knowledge of process chemistry and control, and you should be comfortable using Microsoft Windows and personal computers. You will need the full version of the CADSIM Plus software installed on your computer.
The lessons in this tutorial will introduce you to the three main operating modes of CADSIM Plus:
Drawing Mode - used to draw a process flowsheet, which is the basis of a CADSIM Plus process model
Specification Mode - used to specify chemistry, process relationships, and controls
Run Mode - used to perform simulation calculations, tune controllers, and solve the process model
You will need to be comfortable using all three of these modes in order to do process simulation with CADSIM Plus.
When you have completed the lessons in this tutorial, you will have learned how to:
Use CADSIM Plus drawing tools to draw a process flowsheet
Define process chemistry for a small process model
Add results formats for displaying simulation output on your process flowsheet
Add an animation to your flowsheet drawing
Specify process variables, chemical relationships and reactions, and set up controllers
Run the simulation and tune a PID tank level controller
