Recently, the unit is set to undergo calculations for a vacuum distillation tower; I haven’t done this before, so I’m seeking advice from everyone. Thank you

Recently, the team is preparing to carry out calculations for a vacuum distillation column; we have not done this before, and now we want to try using PRO 2 for such calculations. However, everything I’ve seen on forums relates to simulation, and it seems that few people use PRO 2 for actual calculations. I would appreciate it if someone could guide me regarding the approach to take and what level of accuracy can be achieved using PRO 2 for these calculations. Thank you. :)
Does no one use PRO 2 for calculations?
Calculations can be done either analytically or through simulation, but the values for parameters such as flow rate, temperature, and heat uptake should be as close as possible to the actual operational values. By obtaining the gas and liquid phase loads of the atmospheric tower, the atmospheric tower can be calculated.
I think there’s also the issue of thermodynamic equations, because many of them have specific ranges for pressure! If necessary, the thermodynamic equations need to be revised! Only then can reasonable results be simulated!
