Energy-Themed Application Workbooks

In Petro-SIM 4.0, the Reactor and Reporting Workbooks were introduced with the introduction of the new Petro-SIM Excel Add-in. The Reactor Workbook was originally intended to replace the standalone reactor model workbooks from the previous v3 and earlier versions. These workbooks have three types of data transfer to and from the Petro-SIM basecase file, Calibration, Prediction, and Optimization. In Petro-SIM 4.1, the Reactor Workbook was expanded and changed to an Application Workbook to support any type of Petro-SIM case to include any combination of prediction, calibration, and optimization based on the information available in the Petro-SIM case as well as some options selected by the user.

As the energy software functionality continues to be integrated into Petro-SIM, there is a need to be able to generate Application Workbooks to support the needs of Energy users. Additionally, process simulation users need the ability to be able to choose to include energy specific information into Application Workbooks designed for process applications.

In Petro-SIM 6.2, there is a new option available when building Excel applications for creating an Energy-Themed Application workbook. In addition, Process-Themed Application workbooks will have better representation of energy unit operations.
