Presentation

This session is an introduction to Thermoptim prior to the use of the Getting Started guides or Diapason sessions dealing with simple examples.

It presents the main concepts which are then put into practice, like those of the substances, points, or processes, or the distinction between elements of the core and external classes.

The structure of point and process screens is described.

The simple exercise sessions can then be used as tools for handling of the package.

The simplest is probably session S21En, which explains how to model a gas turbine with a gas assumed to be perfect.

Sessions S26En and S31En show how to model a steam power plant and a refrigerating machine.
