Weak question: How is exergy analysis performed in HYSYS?

Weak question: How is exergy analysis carried out in HYSYS? I created a process flow; after drawing it, there’s a bunch of data available, such as entropy and enthalpy. But to calculate the exergy loss, how should I do that? Should I calculate it myself or can HYSYS simulate it?
I believe that exergy is primarily determined by conducting a thermodynamic analysis of the chemical process; by writing out the expressions for the available energy in the areas that need to be analyzed, and by using the thermodynamic parameters calculated with process simulation software – especially values such as entropy, enthalpy, temperature, and pressure – it is possible to obtain the final numerical values.
