85 delegates were engaged in the conference may12-14.
Lars Nyborg presented a paper with the title "Decision support and debottlenecking of the papermachine". It was demonstrated how several grades can be run in the same simulation run and how bottlenecks are detected at increase of speed. Everything without any database . Bottleneck reports were presented in excel by a reporting block.
I will confirm that Papermac AB has nothing to do with minimac, something presented to FlowMac customers by MillMac AB. The idea seems to be improved cosmetics for dialogs and help and managing of warnings, everything to a reduced number of blocks. FlowMac is continously upgraded by Papermac AB and it also includes that type of very cheap and simple work. Many warnings have been upgraded to reduce trouble in modelling work. Warnings ar presented in different ways, among others by the report block. A bottleneck report generated as a text file openable in excel is one example.
Upgrading of FlowMac if focused on more sophisticated functions as bottlenecking of processes, new blocks for gas turbine, turbocompressors,energy blocks etc. An upgraded version will be launched in end of May.
On the download server are now upgraded FM6libs080101- including a new library named Tools. The library FlowMac became too large had to be reloaded and some blocks moved to Tools.lix. New blocks are Input Data, Production Plan, Turbocompressor, Gas Turbine and Air Fan. Read about them in FM6blocks downloaded from the server.
Cancel and Cancel4to6 libraries are now in a separate zip file. They are not changed during the last year.
All tutorials are checked and corrected in V6. They are in the best condition ever.
All blockx and Tutorials can now also be opened in Exrtendsim7 withouut any compilation of libraries. Saved V7 models cannot be opeened in V6.
All new upgrades are so far done in Extend version 6.
Please mail me your upgrade contact person as all download passwords will be changed during april.
