Versatile model building

In GIBBSim, constructing a model could not be easier – even for a complicated industrial system, up to an entire plant and more. The infrastructure is shown in a graphical representation, which is quite understandable for any engineer.
To create, expand, and modify your simulation, just select the necessary elements, drag them to the right places, and use the mouse to establish links between equipment. It is possible to view and set the exact parameters of the equipment, by selecting it on the screen.
In order to handle complicated systems with maximum efficiency, use the multi-level modeling feature of GIBBSim. The top level of the model may represent an entire plant or industrial complex, with its main systems represented as unified “boxes”. Any of them can, of course, be “expanded”, to access the detailed structure of the system. Moreover, if a system itself contains complicated subsystems, these can be hidden in another “box” – accessible, therefore, as a third level of detail. This does not affect the fidelity of the actual modeling process, as all parts on all layers are taken into account.

Effective handling of data variety

Industrial simulation tasks can often include processing of data variations in the same general infrastructure. You may need to try different fluids, different equipment properties, and other varying settings within the same industrial structure. GIBBSim provides for the easiest and most efficient handling of such cases, by supporting multiple data sets.
For any model that you build, you can create several data sets, containing all the environment, fluid, and infrastructure element parameters. It is always possible to copy one dataset into another, then to make any alterations (slight or serious) in order to calculate a new set of results.
