How is the tower diameter defined in the calculator of Aspen?
Thread Content
May I ask how to define the tower diameter variable in the calculator of Aspen 8.6? Is the variable name in reference TS-DIAM? So what value should be entered for ID1 at this time?
section number?
He should have an explanation for that. TS-DIAM seems to refer to the diameter of the tray; take a close look to see if it is indeed the minimum diameter. It’s likely you’re looking for TR-DIAM, which refers to the diameter of the tower in terms of tray rating. As for ID1, it is the code you created when setting up the tray rating. It’s the one that requires you to give a name after clicking tray-rating->new; the default value is usually the number 1.
Oh, I see now. I just wanted to select the calculated value for tray sizing and then output it using the calculator. You’re absolutely right; I forgot about tray sizing. Thank you so much!
