1.1 IntroductionSizing is a revolutionary integrated process evaluation systemthat unifies process simulation, equipment selection, sizing,design, and detailed capital evaluation operations into oneapplication. This allows for open interaction between processand project engineers during the design phase of a project.

Applying Sizing gives your company the competitive advantagethat you need and it allows you to do the following:

Reduce overhead by reducing your proposal costs. Bid on more projects and win more projects (if you must

lose, lose with minimal time and effort). Increase accuracy by focusing your people on profitable

projects. Faced with your design conclusions, you need answers to

decide on funding, staffing, and choosing one projectover another.

Evaluate client requests, prepare proposals, and lump-sum bids that were once both time consuming andresource demanding.

Increase client base by providing your clients withalternatives that were once too expensive to create.

Reduce your process design time and promote the bestdesign forward in the lifecycle based on economics.

With Sizing, you have an easy-to-use application with a varietyof interfaces. Sizing has a built-in, fully functional, interactiverelationship with HYSYS. You can readily select the entireflowsheet or a single operation for sizing, designing, andevaluating. Built on the solid foundation of AEA TechnologysPICASSO framework, Sizing combines AEAs solid processunderstanding and knowledge base, and the IcarusCorporations design and costing knowledge base into oneapplication.

The PICASSO framework is a technology developed by AEATechnology that provides the infrastructure for buildingcomponent based applications. It allows the assembly of anarbitrary collection of parts, which individually focus on highlyspecific problems, into one integrated application.

Hence, Sizing is a collection of modules assembled by thePICASSO framework that combines the strengths of variousfocused applications for the sizing, selection, and other rulebased utilities with the mechanical design and costing modulesfrom Icarus into one consolidated application.

1.2 The Capabilities ofSizing

The following list highlights some of the capabilities of Sizing:

Two-way integration with HYSYS. Automatic equipment selection options that recommend

equipment types based on process conditions andheuristics.

Rigorously size equipment based on process simulatorderived data using industry accepted methods.

Update HYSYS with accurate equipment capacityinformation for simulating in rating or dynamics mode.

Uses ICARUS Kbase to implement a wide variety ofmechanical design standards (ASME, BS5500, JIS, API,and DIN) to conform to the engineering and constructionbest practices.

Uses Kbase to simulates vendor methods for cost ofprocess equipment that conforms to design standardsand manufacturing costs based on self-contained andupdated multi-national cost bases (UK, Japan, US).

Uses Kbase to develop installation bulks independent ofprocess equipment cost, by implementing designmethods for civil, steel, insulation, electrical, piping, andinstrumentation through built-in P&Ids, storedisometrics, control system network schematics,foundation design, and volumetric models.

General project (plants bulk and process equipment)capital cost reporting and engineering, procurement,construction cost modeling, and scheduling.

1.2.1 The Sizing DifferenceUnlike traditional cost evaluation systems, Sizing extractsgreater value by unifying process simulation, equipmentselection and sizing, and detailed capital evaluation operationsinto one integrated application. This allows your project andprocess engineers to openly interact during the design phase ofthe project.

By using Sizing, you can empower your asset teams to quicklyevaluate process ideas and conceptual designs by automaticallyextending your process simulation models into processequipment and design estimates for rating and/or dynamicsimulation. All this allows you to make solid capitalinvestment decisions .

Make the Right Decision at the Right Time.

2.1 Interface BasicsThe following chapter deals with the interface basics required touse Sizing and they are listed below:

Windows functionality Desktop and tool bar Common terminology Primary interface elements

2.1.1 Windows FunctionalitySizing has the same basic features as in other Windows 95/98 orNT 4.0 based programs.

Minimize , Maximize/Restore , and Close icons locatedin the upper right corner of most views.

Object icon located in the upper left corner of mostviews, which contains the normal Windows 3.x menu.

Most of the different views found in Sizing are resizable to somedegree. The following list provides a brief description of theresizable views:

When Minimize , Maximize/Restore , and Close iconsare available, the view can be resized vertically and

horizontally. When Minimize and Close icons are available, the view

can only be resized vertically. When the Close icon or Close and Pin icons are

available, the view cannot be resized.

2.1.3 Interface TerminologyThe following terminology is used to describe the various Sizinginterface elements:

Run to Next

Phase

Runs one phase at a time on the Project

Input Data property view.

Reset All Phases Resets all the phases to their default values.

PFD Open the PFD for the current Flowsheet.

Home View/Enter Sizing/Economix

Enters the Sizing environment (if you are notcurrently in it). If you are already in the Sizingenvironment, this button opens the ProjectInput Data property view.

LeaveEnvironment

Exits the Sizing environment and takes youinto the HYSYS Simulation Environment.

Term Definition

View Any graphical representation found on the Desktop, forexample, a property view for an operation.

Button Invokes a command when clicked.

Pin Is usually found in place of the Minimize andMaximizes/Restore icons in the upper right handcorner of the property view. This Pin converts a ModalProperty View to a Non-Modal Property View.

Tabs Provides a logical grouping of information in the formof pages.

Pages Provides access to detailed information regarding theselected object.

Drop-Down List A list of available options for a given input cell.

Scroll Bar Provides access to information which cannot bedisplayed in the current size of a menu or view.

Scroll Button Part of the Scroll Bar, allowing you to slide the list upor down, or left or right.

ObjectsThe term object is used throughout the document to refer to anindividual stream or operation. Within Sizing, informationassociated with an object can be displayed in a variety of ways(Workbook, PFD, Property View, etc.).

Through the object oriented design, the information displayedby each interface element is tied to the same underlying object.The result being that if a parameter changes in the Flowsheet, itis automatically updated in every location. You can also accessthe Object Inspect menu to display commands (i.e., printing,direct access to a property view, etc.) tied to an object (forexample an icon in a PFD).

Icon Invokes a command when clicked, similar to the

button.Close Icon Either closes the view (double-clicking), or produces a

drop-down menu of common Windows commands.

Radio Button Always found in groups of at least two; only one can beactive at a time.

Checkbox Items or settings which are On or Off. Clicking thecheckbox turns the function On . Clicking it again turnsit Off .

Minimize/Maximize

Either iconize the current view (minimize), or expandthe view to its full size.

ActiveHighlightedLocation

The current active location is always indicated byhighlighting.

Group Organizational border within a page that groupsrelated functions together. Each group has its ownactive location.

Matrix A group of cells through which you can manoeuvrewith the mouse or keyboard arrow keys.

Selecting ItemsSelecting refers to either picking a specific item from a list, orinvoking a button command. There are four methods used forselecting objects and functions in Sizing.

Active View/Active LocationAlthough several views can be displayed on the Desktop at anytime, only one view is active or has focus. When a view is active,the title bar is highlighted. Within the view only one location canbe active, but depending on the location of focus, the form ofhighlighting differs (i.e., cell, field, button, etc.).

Method Description

Selecting a cell Using the mouse, move the cursor to the location andclick to select.

Clicking a button Click on the button, or move the focus location (usingthe TAB key or SHIFT TAB combination) and pressENTER .

Selecting from adrop-down menu

or list

Move the focus location into the drop-down, and usethe mouse pointer or keyboard arrows to highlight the

selection, then press ENTER to select.Multiple listselections

Click and drag the cursor over the items you want toselect (provided they are all sequential in the list).Release the mouse button after you have selected thedesired items. Alternatively, you can highlightsequential items by selecting the first item in the list,holding down the SHIFT key and selecting the lastitem in the list. If the items are not sequential, selectthe first item with the left mouse button and thenselect additional items with the mouse while holdingdown the CTRL key.

The Project Input Dataview has focus asindicated by the title barbeing highlighted.

Interface 2-11

2-11

2.1.5 The Property ViewA property view contains multiple tabs placed within a singleborder. These are used extensively in Sizing to allow access toall information associated with an item in a single view.

A common structure was adopted for the property views. Afteryou become familiar with the format and usage of one propertyview, each additional one you encounter behaves and isstructured in a similar manner.

Accessing Pages using the TabsMoving between tabs can be done in the following ways:

Select the desired tab with the mouse. Use the Hot Key combination CTRL SHIFT N , which

cycles you through the tabs ( CTRL SHIFT P cyclesbackwards).

Place the mouse pointer to the direct left or right of thetabs (remaining inside the border of the property view).The cursor changes to a tab switch cursor which pointsin the direction in which the tabs are cycled. Click tocycle through the tabs.

Several time saving features have been built into the PropertyView:

Sizing always remembers which tab you were last on,returning to that tab automatically the next time youopen that view. Each property view remembers itssettings independently; for example, two differentstreams could automatically open to different tabs.

There are various ways of moving from one tab to thenext including selecting the desired tab or by using theHot Key combination.

Supplying or specifying input is accomplished in a variety ofmanners. Some definitions and terminology are presented in

order to adequately explain the functionality and capabilities ofSizing.

The mouse pointer doesnot change if the first orlast page tab is activeand the pointer isplaced to either the leftor right of the tabs.


20/134


2-12

Tabs

Each property view is made up of several tabs, which aredisplayed at the bottom of the view. These tabs provide a logicalgrouping for the object information. When a tab is active itseems to be on top of the other tabs indicating it is the currenttab. To see how an active tab is displayed, refer to the ActiveView/Active Location section.

Pages

In general, each tab provides access to more than one page orview. The section on the left side of the property view has thesame name as the current tab. Within this section is a list ofavailable pages, with the current page being highlighted.

The information contained on a specific page may be accessedby simply selecting the page from the list. This page index isalways present for the specific tab and its appearance is notdependent upon the selection of the page.

Fields or Cells

This is a location in a view for supplying or viewing information,e.g., stream names, temperatures, etc. Fields are single inputfield (Input Stream field on a unit operation). Cells arecontained within a group as part of a matrix or table. Anexample of matrix cells are those found in the Worksheet tab ofevery unit operation views.

In many cases, cells and fields have an associated drop-downlist, indicated by a down arrow next to or within the field or cell.This produces a list of available options associated with that

field. Another common feature in both field and cell in a matrix,is the drop-down list that appears beside the field or cell. Thedrop-down list provides you with a list of units associated to thefield or cell variable.

2.1.6 Manoeuvring Throughthe Interface

Sizing uses Windows conventions for interaction between theuser and the application. These are described in the followingsection.

Hot Keys ALT KeyMost labels, including the items on the menu bar, input cellidentifiers, and Button labels, have a single letter underlined.

This letter works in conjunction with the ALT key as a Hot Keycombination, the result of which varies depending on the labeltype.

For menu bar Items ( Edit for example), pressing ALT E opens the drop-down menu under Edit.

For Input Cell Identifiers ( Name , for example), pressingALT N moves the active location directly to that inputcell.

For Buttons ( Close , for example), pressing ALT C invokes the button command.

Keep in mind that any keyboard input applies to the active view.

For example, if an input cell identifier on the active view has theletter F underlined, you cannot directly open the File Menu byALT F , as your input is being applied to the active view.

The ALT key by itself automatically advances the active locationto the first item in the menu bar ( File ). The keyboard arrowsmove left and right through the row, and the down arrow opensthe active menu item. If a drop-down menu has underlinedletters, you can invoke the command by using that letter only.For example, with the File menu open, you can Save a case bypressing the s key.

Moving Through a ViewWhen moving through a view using the keyboard functions,each input cell and button is accessed sequentially. You can

HYSYS uses a number ofHot Keys for performingcommands.

The mouse can be usedto move the activelocation to any cell bymoving the pointer overthe cell and click.


22/134


2-14

move the active location using the TAB (forward) and SHIFTTAB (reverse) keys. If the active location is on a cell in a matrix,the TAB key does not advance you to the next cell in thatmatrix, but to the next active location in the view. This locationmay be a button or another group.

Sizing indicates the active location of the cursor in a view in oneof two ways:

In the case of an input cell, the active location isindicated by a thicker border around the cell.

In the case of a button, the perimeter of the button ishighlighted and the label is surrounded by a dashed box.

Figure 2.5

Shows inputcell as theActive Location

If this radio button was the active location, pressing TAB wouldadvance to the General Equipment Sizing and Design group,while SHIFT TAB would move back to the Restore Default Basisbutton at the bottom of the view.

When Run All Phases button is the active location, pressing TAB would advance thehighlight to Save New Basis button, while SHIFT TAB would reverse the highlight tothe Run Phase button.

Interface 2-15

2-15

2.1.7 Supplying InputText InputIn Sizing, input is required on the Basis Input Data propertyview. When the required input is textual there are instanceswhere you are required to either supply the input from thekeyboard (e.g. company name) by simply selecting the field orcell, entering the text and pressing ENTER .

Input is selected from the drop-down list when the input isrelated to the ICARUS database to ensure that the naming

conventions and spelling are correct (relative to ICARUS). Tosupply input for this type of cell, do one of the following:

Click in the input cell and then click on the Drop-downList icon within the cell. A drop-down list displays all theavailable inputs that you can select by clicking on theappropriate input with the mouse.

Click in the input cell and then press the SPACEBAR toopen the drop-down list. Manoeuvre through the list ofinputs using the up and down arrow keys and then pressENTER to select the input.

Numerical InputIf the input is numerical, the approach is slightly different. Thefield and input cell displays the same, however, when a value isentered into the field or cell, a new field containing a Drop-down List icon and a unit is displayed beside the field.

Drop-down list icon

24/134


2-16

The drop-down list displays the current default unit for the inputcell property. When you have supplied the number and havepressed ENTER , Sizing assumes that the default unit wascorrect.

If you are supplying the number with a different unit than thedefault, there are two methods available for identifying it.

Figure 2.6

A drop-down list is displayed when supplying anumber with different units than the default.

Method Action

Keyboard Input a space after the number and then begin typing inthe unit. The unit becomes highlighted in the drop-downlist.

Mouse After supplying the numerical value, but before pressingENTER , open the drop-down list and locate the desired unit

While Sizing is matchingyour input to the list ofunits, you can stopentering text and use anyof the other methods forlocating the unit (such asselecting it with themouse or using the upand down arrows).


25/134

Interface 2-17

2-17

When you begin entering the units, the drop-down list displays:

Drop-Down Lists and Scroll BarsDrop-down lists are used extensively in Sizing to provide anefficient means of locating existing streams, operations, orunits. These menus can be accessed either using the mouse orby using the keyboard. After a drop-down list is opened,manoeuvre through the list using the mouse or keyboard.

A drop-down list for a Text input cell, can be opened at any timeby clicking the applicable drop-down list icon. This not only

opens the menu, but moves the active location to that input cell.You can also open the drop-down list for the current active cellby pressing the keyboard down arrow.

Figure 2.7

Display the units associated to thefield or cell in the drop-down listafter supplying a numerical valueby selecting the down arrow.

As you supply more of the unit, the highlight movesthrough the list covering the unit that most closelymatches the input. Pressing ENTER accepts both thenumber and the unit. The value is recalculated usingthe default unit and is transferred to the ActiveLocation.

The F2 key opens thedrop-down list.


26/134


2-18

If the stream is being attached for the first time, the highlight inthe drop-down list displays at the top of the list. If the input cellalready has a stream in it, the highlight is on that stream.

For a numerical input cell, the drop-down list is located next tothe input cell or field and contains the list of units. Thisautomatically opens as soon as you stop supplying numericalinput (signified by a SPACE ) and begin entering the unit.Alternatively, the drop-down list can be opened at any time(which terminates the number entry) by selecting the drop-down list icon.

After a drop-down list is opened, you can manoeuvre through itin the following ways:

The most convenient method is using type-matching .After a drop-down list is open, keyboard input isinterpreted to find the first menu item which bestmatches your input. As you continue to supply input, thematching continues. Pressing ENTER terminates thestring and accepts the highlighted item.You can also usethe keyboard arrow keys to move to any item.

If the menu contains six items or less, it displays withouta scroll bar. In this case, you can use the mouse todirectly select the desired item, or use the up and downkeyboard arrows to mark the item and then select it withthe ENTER key.

The PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys move the menu by

one page, and the HOME and END keys take you to thefirst and last item. The desired item is selected byhighlighting it and pressing ENTER .

The Scroll Bar/Scroll Button provides similarfunctionality. Selecting the Up and Down Scroll Arrowsadvance the menu by one item. The scroll button can beselected with the primary mouse button and dragged upand down to quickly scroll the menu.

Selecting the space between the scroll button and thescroll arrow advances the menu up or down one page.The desired item can then be selected with the primarymouse button.


27/134

Interface 2-19

2-19

2.1.8 Editing InputYou can edit your input in the following ways:

When the input cell is active, any information you supplyover-rides the previous input.

Use the drop-down list to replace the previous input. Make an insertion point using the mouse or press F2 and

use the arrow keys. When editing numerical input, if you simply type in a new

value and press ENTER , Sizing accepts the input andassumes it is in the default units.

2.1.9 Closing ViewsTo close a view, use any of the methods described below: Double-click on the Object icon in the upper left corner

of the view. Click once on the Object icon to open the drop-down

menu. the Close function in this drop-down menu has theC underlined. Press the C to close the view.

CTRL F4 closes the active view. Click on the Close icon in the upper right hand corner of

the view.

3.1 IntroductionSizing provides an easy-to-use environment with a variety ofinterfaces including a fully interactive relationship with HYSYSthat can readily select either the entire flowsheet or individualpieces of process equipment to be sized, designed, or evaluated.

3.2 Importing UnitOperations

Sizing has the ability to import simulation data from HYSYS, butrequires that the unit operation be completely solved before itcan be imported into Sizing. Unsolved unit operations are notevaluated and no reports are generated.

Chapter Description

Sizing Basics This chapter provides an introduction to Sizings capabilitiesand features.

Basis Phase The Basis Phase chapter covers the first tab of Project InputData view. Here, you provide the global settings forselection and design parameters. In addition, generalproject information (location, owner, etc.) is provided onthis tab.

SelectionPhase

This chapter allows you to get familiar with the SelectionPhase tab of the Project Input Data view.

Sizing Phase The Sizing Phase chapter gives an explanation of the all theparameters required by the equipment sizing routines inSizing.

DesignPhase

All the Design information is discussed in this chapter.

Report This chapter allows you to get familiar with the extensivereports that Sizing generates for a project.

Theory The Theory chapters elaborates on the selection criterion aswell as the sizing equation for each unit operation.

3.3 Menu Bar OptionsIn Sizing, you can access most of the tasks using the hot keys orbuttons associated with them. This provides quick access to thecapabilities of the program. Each of these functions can also beaccessed through the menu bar. The list of commands orfunction groups, which is displayed at the top of the HYSYSDesktop, operates as a drop-down menu system. By selectingone of the options in the menu bar, a menu of associatedcommands or options is opened.

In addition to the functions already described, the menu baralso provides access to a number of functions that can only beaccessed through this route. Included in the functions that canonly be accessed via the menu bar are setting the SessionPreferences (units, default naming schemes, etc.) and accessingthe Script Manager.

In this section, a description of each of the options that areavailable through the menu bar is provided. In cases where theoptions are described elsewhere in greater detail, only a quickreview is provided. Others, such as Session Preferences andScripting are described completely.

You can access the menu bar options in three ways: Select the desired menu bar item using the primary

mouse button, which automatically opens the associatedmenu.

Use the Alt key in combination with the underlined letterin the menu bar title. For example, Alt T opens the Toolsmenu.

Use the Alt key by itself to move the active location tothe File option in the menu bar. Once the menu barbecomes the Active location in HYSYS, you canmanoeuvre through it using the keyboard. The up anddown arrows move through the menu associated with aspecific item, while the left and right arrows move you tothe next menu bar item, automatically opening theassociated menu.

If you want to switch focus from the menu bar without making aselection, press the ESC key or the ALT key.
