Model converter

Overview

The Model converter tool converts Hydraulic library submodels into Thermal Hydraulic library submodels. These libraries are often used to model the same systems based on different hypotheses (with or without thermal effects for Thermal Hydraulics or Hydraulics). There is thus a need for users to be able to switch from one library to another without changing the structure of their Simcenter Amesim systems.

Note

The Hydraulic libraries consist of the Hydraulic, Hydraulic Component Design and Hydraulic Resistance libraries.

The Thermal Hydraulic libraries consist of the Thermal Hydraulic, Thermal Hydraulic Resistance and the Thermal Hydraulic Component Design libraries.

The following screenshots show a typical application of the tool, taking two models containing Hydraulic components, and converting them to Thermal Hydraulic components:
