Configuring - Sigmafine Balance Analysis Rule

A Sigmafine Balance Analysis Rule analysis is configured as part of a Sigmafine based model, a Model with elements built on the Sigmafine Element templates.

Note: For the basis of the analysis to be other than mass or volume, a parameter is required in the 'SF_SigmafineBalance' table. See Using the SF_SigmafineBalance Table. for additional details.

To configure the analysis rule, follow the steps below using either the System Explorer or the Modeler.

1. Follow the steps under either System Explorer or Modeler.

   System Explorer

2. In the Model Analyses navigation panel go to the Model for which you are creating the analysis.

3. Click the Analysis menu button and select New from the menu, to open the Choose Analysis Template window.

   Modeler

• On the SF Analysis Toolbar, click the New Analysis button to open the Choose Analysis Template window.

The following steps are common to both System Explorer and ProcessBook (Modeler) configurations.

3. In the Choose Analysis Template window, \<None> is selected by default; this value is fine for what you need to do.

4. Click OK.

   The Analysis Properties window opens.

5. In the Name box, type a name for the new analysis.

6. (Optional) In the Description box, type a short description of the analysis.

7. Click the Analysis Rule down-arrow and select Sigmafine Balance.

8. Under Analysis Rule, click the Settings button (as shown in Figure 232).

   The Sigmafine Balance Configuration window opens.

   The table below provides a summary of the four tabs found in the Sigmafine Balance Configuration window.

   Sigmafine Balance Configuration window - Tabs Summary

   Use this tab ...	to configure these parameters
   Control	Analysis control settings including constrains and solver options.
   Quality Input	Selection of the Attributes that contain the input data for the analysis.
   Quality Output	Selection of the Attributes that contain the output data for the analysis.
   Heat Exchange Output	Selection of the output Attributes specific to heat exchanger type elements.

9. Select the properties and options as described in the following \topics, beginning with the Control tab.

• Filling In the Sigmafine Balance Control Tab

• Filling In the Sigmafine Balance Quantity Input Tab

• Filling In the Sigmafine Balance Quantity Output Tab

• Filling In the Sigmafine Balance Heat Exchanger Output Tab

  Note: Gross Error Configuration – Use this optional feature to configure the Gross Error Detection Analysis Rule for mass or volume balances. This enables validation steps before and after the Sigmafine Balance is done. The Pre-validate steps check the initial Model configuration and the collected input data for possible errors. The Post-Validate steps check the resultant data from the balance for further error. When the basis of the Sigmafine Analysis is selected to be other than mass or volume, the Pre and Post Gross error checks are not available. See Configuring Pre-Validations and Post-Validations for more information.
