START_SIMULATION

This command is for the REACTOR_SIMULATOR (REACTOR) module.

Start the reactor simulation, and list the results for all iterations. The output for each iteration consists of the conditions set in each segment, and you can also select some state variables to list. After each loop, the temperatures in all segments are listed.

Syntax

start_simulation

Prompts

Max number of loops /10/: <The max number of loops>

Give the max number of loops. The reactor simulation repeats until this loop number is reached.
 

Output to screen or file /Screen/: <File name or return>

Decide on either listing simulation results on the screen (by pressing <Enter>) or saving them on an experimental file (with the default extension .EXP).

The conditions in each segment are not saved in the file, only on the screen.
 

Output variables /T BP($)/: <Variable name(s)>

Specify the variable name(s) that is also listed on the screen together with the conditions in each segment, or in the output experimental file.

For a four-stage reactor, the output at a certain iteration may look like this:
