Tutorial 1: Overview of ASCEND


Visual Cue
Narration
Slide number 1

Title slide

Welcome to the Overview of ASCEND tutorial series.
Show Slide 2 In this tutorial, we will introduce you to
  • ASCEND
  • problems that can be solved using ASCEND
  • ASCEND interface through a sample model
  • topics covered in this series
Slide number 3

System Requirement

System Requirements

Here I am using

  • Ubuntu Linux OS version 12.04 and
  • ASCEND version 0.9.8
Slide number 4

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial series, user doesn't require any prior knowledge of ASCEND.


To know more about ASCEND, please visit ascend4.org


Slide number 5

What is ASCEND

What is ASCEND?
  • ASCEND is an open-source software program, for solving mathematical models.
  • ASCEND stands for Advanced System for Computations in Engineering Design.
Slide number Applications of ASCEND


Applications of ASCEND


ASCEND can be used for various purposes like

  • solving systems of non-linear equations,
  • linear and nonlinear optimization problems, and
  • dynamic systems


Slide number 6

Sample Problems

Various process simulation problems can be modeled using ASCEND.

Some of such examples are-

  • Modelling a flash drum for separating a given mixture.
  • Modelling a process flow-sheet comprising of a Mixer, Reactor and Separation unit.
Open the ASCEND interface Let me now introduce you to the ASCEND interface.
Let me load a file.
Load files test.a4c and press solve Here is my code test.a4c.


The name of my model is lotka.


I will load this model and will run one of the methods and solve the model.

Slide Applications of ASCEND Now let's have a look at the various topics that will be covered in this tutorial series.
Slide Learning Objectives At the beginning of the series, we will have a tutorial on how to install ASCEND on Linux and Windows systems.
Slide Learning Objectives We will also learn how to open a model in ASCEND and solve it.


Slide Learning Objectives We will learn how to build a basic model and add methods to this basic model.


In this tutorial, we will also learn how to write dimensionally consistent equations in ASCEND.

Slide Learning Objectives We will also learn how to
  • create a re-usable model in ASCEND
  • how to reuse this model for different components
  • also how to import data from Thermodynamics library in ASCEND


Towards the end we will learn how to solve this model.

Slide Learning Objectives We will also have a tutorial on modelling different components of a flow-sheet such as
  • a Mixer
  • a Reactor
  • and how to combine these different components to get the final flow sheet


We will run the flowsheet in ASCEND to get final results.


Slide Learning Objectives We will also have a tutorial on
  • how to use FOR loop in ASCEND
  • how to declare Arrays in our models
  • how to plot graphs using ASCEND
Slide number 6

Summary

This brings us to the end of this tutorial.


This tutorial was an overview of what you will learn in the ASCEND tutorial series.


Hope you found it interesting.
