SIM4ME Portal Excel integration with Simsci software simulation packages. Allows
for bidirectional transfer of applicable variables between programs, and
allows users without simulation experience the opportunity to interact with
the simulator without necessitating prior knowledge or experience with the
simulation software.
SIM4ME Portal
SIM4ME Portal is an integration application that facilitates the
powerful combination of SIMSCI-ESSCORs various process
simulation products (PRO/II, VISUAL FLOW, INPLANT, PIPEPHASE,
and ROMeo/ARPM) with Microsoft Excel.

PRO/II vs. PROVISION vs SIM4ME
PRO/II is the calculation engine
PROVISION is the graphical user interface
Makes PRO/II easy to use
Over time, older operating systems are no longer supported while
newer ones become supported
SIM4ME Portal is similar to PROVISION, but encompasses all
products
Common platform for multiple SimSci products
Steady State Simulator
No Time Dependent Phenomena
Exception: Depressuring Unit

Distillation
Tray Numbering
Use Theoretical Trays (Stages)
Each stage is another flash calculation
Numbered from Top to Bottom
Condenser is always stage 1 if used
Even for subcooled condenser
Reboiler is always the last stage if used
Certain types add more than 1 effective stages
Model your reboiler based on how the return stream mixes back into
the column, not by what the actual type of reboiler it is
General Rule of Thumb when Converting Packing to Stages:
2 3 feet of packing per stage
Modern structured packing could be inches, so check with the
manufacturer
Tray Efficiency
Murphree
Vaporization
Equilibrium
Vapor leaving stage not at dew point
Can lead to mixed phase condenser product
Better to use overall efficiencies
Theoretical / Actual trays to carry out separation
Use different values in different column zones
Dont forget condenser and reboiler!

Exercise 9
Chiller Plant, Part 4, pg 21
Specifications and Variables
Specifications are constraints to be met by the column
Variables are calculated to meet specifications
Column always balances equations with unknowns (i.e. # of
specifications = # of variables)
To impose a specification, you must add a variable, other equations
and unknowns dont balance.
Example: Impose 2 product specifications by declaring reboiler and
condenser duties as variables
Improper Specifications
0% methane in crude column bottoms
Infinitely many solutions
300 lbmol/hr propylene in overhead
No solutions if column feed only has 250 lbmol/hr propylene
98% ethanol product
No solutions if water-ethanol azeotrope present
Keyword Files
Text version of PRO/II File
Significantly smaller size than *.prz files
Contains only the most important information for the simulation
Only shows items you have changed from default values
Keyword file runs very fast through batch mode
Useful for
Smaller size means less space when archiving simulation files or
sending via email
Running a large *.prz file in a shorter amount of time
Merging multiple *.prz files together (export *.prz files to keyword,
then copy/paste from 1 file to the other)
Troubleshoot input errors
Export *.prz file to keyword and reimport to clean simulation databases
Restore damaged *.prz files using input file in an output report
Exporting and Importing Keyword Files
To export a PRO/II file to keyword, go to File Export, then
choose Simulation Data to Keyword File
To import a keyword file to PRO/II,
