Examples of VBA scripts used for accessing equipment contents related variables are given.
Example 1: Set and get the temperature of the initial contents of an equipment:
Function SetAndGetEquipContentsTemperature(equipName, temperature) As Double
Dim var1 As Variant
Dim var2 As Variant
Dim var3 As Variant
Dim var4 As Variant
Dim str As String
Set superProDoc = DocumentObject()
var1 = CDbl(temperature)
str = CStr(equipName)
var2 = Null
var3 = Null
var4 = Null
superProDoc.SetEquipContentsVarVal str, VarID.temperature_VID, var1, var2, var3, var4
var1 = 0.0 ' Reset to 0 so as for testing purposes
superProDoc.GetEquipContentsVarVal str, VarID.temperature_VID, var1, var2, var3, var4
SetAndGetEquipContentsTemperature = CDbl(var1)
End Function
Example 2: Set and get the mass flow of an ingredient from the intial contents of an equipment:
Function SetAndGetInitialComponentMassFlow(equipName, compName, massFlow) As Double
Dim var1 As Variant
Dim var2 As Variant
Dim var3 As Variant
Dim var4 As Variant
Dim str As String
Set superProDoc = DocumentObject()
var1 = CDbl(massFlow)
str = CStr(equipName)
var2 = CStr(compName)
var3 = Null
var4 = Null
superProDoc.SetEquipContentsAutoInitOptions str, VarID.autoInitMode_VID, byUser_Sim
superProDoc.SetEquipContentsVarVal str, VarID.bEditIngredientFracs_VID, False, var2, va3, var4
superProDoc.SetEquipContentsVarVal str, VarID.componentMassFlow_VID, var1, var2, var3, var4
var1 = 0.0 ' Reset to 0 so as for testing purposes
superProDoc.GetEquipContentsVarVal str, VarID.componentMassFlow_VID, var1, var2, var3, var4
SetAndGetInitialComponentMassFlow = CDbl(var1)
End Function
|
|
When no ingredient, procedure or operation name is specified you must pass the word “Null”. This will also mean that the variable of the initial contents is retrieved. In the second example first we set the auto initialization option to set by user “byUser_SIM” then we set the ‘edit ingredient fracs’ flag to false and then we set the component mass flow. |
Example 3: Get the mass fraction of a pure component after the execution of an operation
Function GetEquipContentsCompMassFrac(equipName, procName, opName, compName) As Double
Dim var1 As Variant
Dim var2 As Variant
Dim var3 As Variant
Dim var4 As Variant
Dim str As String
Set superProDoc = DocumentObject()
var1 = 0.0
str = CStr(equipName) ‘ equipment name
var2 = CStr(compName) ‘ pure component name
var3 = CStr(procName) ‘ procedure name
var4 = CStr(opName) ‘ operation name
superProDoc.GetEquipContentsVarVal str, VarID.compMassFrac_VID, var1, var2, var3, var4
GetEquipContentsCompMassFrac = CDbl(var1)
End Function
