Running the Steady-State Simulation

Having entered the dynamic specifications, you run the steady-state

simulation. To do this:

1. On the Required Input Complete dialog box, click OK.

Aspen Plus displays the Control Panel where you can view

the simulation messages during the run.

2. Wait for the message Simulation Calculations Completed to

appear and Results Available to appear in the status bar. This

indicates that the run is complete.

3. Click the Close button, to close the Control Panel window.

Exporting the Dynamic Simulation

You are now ready to export the files necessary to run this

simulation dynamically. To do this:

1. From the File menu, click Export.

2. Go to the drive and folder where you want to save your file,

for example C:\My Simulations. Choose a folder other than

the xmp folder from which you selected the MCHSPEC

example because this folder is for system files only.

3. In the Save as type box, select Flow Driven Dyn Simulation

(*.dynf & *dyn.appdf).

4. In the File name box, type Mchdyn, then click Save.

These files are created:

• Mchdyn.dynf, the Aspen Dynamics input file

• Mchdyndyn.appdf, which contains physical property data for

use by Properties Plus during the dynamic simulation
