Unable to Prepare Network
This warning can arise if a model or node within a model has been corrupt. As a first pass, it is recommended to copy and paste the model to a new Flowsheet to re-initialize the nodes in the model. Select "Calculate" to determine if the model now solves. If not, email a copy of the model to: support@fluidflowinfo.com

Network Build Error
A "Network Build Error" usually indicates the following: 1. There is an issue with the model connectivity. Occasionally, the nodes are not connected to the main model or overlap one another giving the impression that the model has been built and ...
Solid Phase Detected
This can occur when the fluid in a system has dropped below it's freezing temperature. Perhaps too much heat is being removed from the network via a heat exchanger? What you can consider here is adding a bypass loop at the effected heat exchanger and ...
Are you able to model two different fluids from a heat exchanger?
Scenario: Say we want to analyze the cooling in a system where we have two separate flows, one of chilled water, and one of warm air to be cooled using the heat exchanger. Answer: In relation to the heat exchangers, we need to create one model of the ...
Two-Phase Pipe Heat Transfer at Low Flow Conditions
Let's consider a stainless steel pipe transporting saturated steam. The pipe inlet condition is 6 barg at 165 degrees C with a fixed flow rate at the outlet of the pipe 1 kg/h (0.0002778 kg/s). What we can sometimes see is that even if you set a low ...
