Dynamic Data Reconciliation
Aurel’s realtime dynamic data reconciliation includes time-based transient conditions that are often ingnored by other data reconciliation methods. If accuracy is important to you, then Aurel’s DDR is the only way to go. Aurel’s unique Dynamic Data Reconciliation (DDR) ensures that the online applications that we develop for you will yield complete, accurate and actionable data Read More …
Using the Multi-doc Interface
A new CADSIM Plus multi-document interface will be introduced with version 3.0. The purpose of the new interface is to allow two or more CADSIM Plus drawings to be developed as separate simulations, and then linked together to run as a single simulation model. The new multi-document interface features tabbed windows, one for each drawing, Read More …
Using the Compound Editor
The Compound Editor is a new feature in CADSIM Plus v2.6. It allows you to perform two related functions: creating a new user-defined chemical compound for use in CADSIM Plus, or overriding one or more properties of an existing CADSIM Plus compound. The compound editor replaces the previous physical properties override mechanism that was introduced Read More …
Controller Tuning with Autotune
A controller turning wizard called Autotune was introduced with CADSIM Plus v2.5. Autotune utilizes the Lambda tuning method, which was first documented in a book published by TAPPI PRESS titled Process Control Fundamentals for the Pulp & Paper Industry by Nancy J. Sell, Frederick Y. Thomasson et al. This method allows proportional constant, integral reset Read More …
How to Create Computer-based Manuals
CADSIM Plus includes a new feature that makes it possible to link HTML documentation to your CADSIM Plus simulation. This allows you to create a computer-based manual (CBM) that relates training and other types of content to technical drawings and simulation models. CADSIM Plus electronic P&ID drawings are ideally suited to this application. The CBM Read More …
Markup & Export Drawing to PDF
It is now easier to circulate your CADSIM Plus drawings to colleagues or clients, and you can even mark them up for review. One of the new features of CADSIM Plus v2.4 is an expanded drawing export facility. Aurel has licensed Software Companion’s ViewCompanion Pro for distribution with CADSIM Plus, which will allow you more Read More …
How to Link CADSIM to Mill Data
…via Excel and DDE. You can use Microsoft Excel to download data from your mill’s data logger and then link it to your CADSIM Plus simulation. Assume you have a list of values from your data logger, which consists of volumetric flow, temperature, and time (see Excel screen at right). Start by creating a simulation Read More …
How CADSIM Calculates Pipe Friction
…of flowing pulp suspensions. Friction loss for pipes with pulp slurries can be very difficult for dynamic simulators to calculate because of certain anomalies. For example, friction loss can actually decrease with increased velocity or it can exhibit unexpected behavior with a change in consistency. CADSIM Plus uses a novel empirical method which normalizes each Read More …
