CAPE-OPEN Thermo Import for Scilab 2.0.0.11

CAPE-OPEN Thermo Import for Scilab is a software package that allows users to import and utilize CAPE-OPEN version 1.1 thermodynamic and physical property packages within Scilab. This can be useful for users who want to perform thermodynamic and physical property calculations, as well as thermodynamic equilibrium calculations, within the Scilab environment.

One of the standout features of CAPE-OPEN Thermo Import is that it allows users to communicate with CAPE-OPEN property packages without having to implement the thermodynamic engine themselves. This saves users time and effort, as they don't have to build their own thermodynamic engine from scratch. In addition, the package comes with a command-driven interface that makes it easy for users to select and use the desired CAPE-OPEN property package.

To use CAPE-OPEN Thermo Import, users will need to have either the 32-bit version of Scilab 5.02 or higher, or the 64-bit version of Scilab 5.4 or higher. In addition, users will need to have a CAPE-OPEN version 1.1 compliant thermo system installed on their computer, such as the TEA system that comes with the COCO Simulator. Once these requirements are met, users can simply type "capeOpenQuickRef" in Scilab to get started with the package.

One of the major benefits of CAPE-OPEN Thermo Import is that it is free for personal and academic use. This means that students and researchers can utilize the package without incurring any cost. For commercial use, however, a small license fee must be paid on a per-person basis. This fee allows users to utilize the package on multiple computers, making it a convenient and cost-effective option for businesses.

Overall, CAPE-OPEN Thermo Import is a useful tool for anyone looking to perform thermodynamic and physical property calculations within the Scilab environment. It is easy to use and comes with a command-driven interface that makes it simple to select and utilize the desired property package. Additionally, the package is free for personal and academic use, making it an affordable option for students and researchers.
