Improvements in V5.2

  • It is now possible to have up to six streams feeding any unit.
  • The entire simulation/model fitting/mass balance system is now coded in double precision.  This means better convergence and more stable operation.
  • The number of fitable parameters and ports has been increased from 10 to 20
  • The VR SAG mill model now warns if the simulated void fill fraction is >=1 and if the simulated load volume is more than 0.3% different from the measured value
  • The number of units in parallel, if greater than 1, is displayed in the title bar of any associated equipment information block.
  • The SG of the liquid is now a variable.  The default is 1.0 but this can be changed in the flowsheet properties window.
  • Four new icons are included - trommel, DSM screen, thickener, double deck screen.  The trommel and DSM screen make use of existing models.  A very simple thickener model is included and the double deck screen is simply two separately configurable single deck screens in series.
  • The font type and size in graphs can now be selected from the available Windows fonts.
  • Ball Mill power based on the Morrell formulae is now calculated for both overflow and grate discharge options and is displayable in an information block.
  • The intermediate data file written to C: by the Mass Balance system has been eliminated.
  • The most recent Hardlock Dongle driver is included.
  • The interactive nature of data entry for t/h solids, t/h liquid and % solids has been disabled.  It is now only possible to enter t/h solids and % solids.
