Flowsheet

Conceptual representation of flowsheets in Aspen.

Flowsheet(
    input_streams: List[Stream],
    output_streams: List[Stream],
    object_id: str = None
)

Note

Flowsheet can only currently handle tree-like process models (one input stream with no loops).

Data Checks

• If passed graph isn't fully connected, an error will be raised.

Methods

• Flowsheet.plot_model(): returns a graphviz digraph object.
• Flowsheet.run(inputs: Dict[str, dict]): Perform simulation. See Example.
• Flowsheet.clear_data(): clear both input & output from streams & unit ops.
• Flowsheet.get_element(object_id: str): returns stream or unit op given its object_id.
• `Flowsheet._get_networkx(): returns networkx object that can be manually manipulated for plotting/debugging.
