This dialog appears when you click on the New (
) button from the Pure Component Registration Dialog or the Pure Components Databank Dialog.
It will allow you to describe a new pure component which you can use for registration in your current process file and/or for expansion of the pure component ‘SuperPro (User)’ databank. Before you exit this dialog with OK:
1. You must fill-in the top six fields of this dialog (none of them can be left blank). The ‘Name’, ‘Company ID’, ‘Local Name’ and ‘SMILES’ must all be unique amongst pure components and stock mixtures in the destination environment (process file or databanks).
2. Chose a component (whose description already exists) to be used as source for the several property values of the new component. By default a new component will use the property values of ‘Water’, but you may designate any other component as a source. If the component is being introduced in a process file, you may use as a source component any other registered component or any component in the databanks. If the component is being introduced in the component databank, then you must use as a source another component in the databank:

When this dialog appears, the editing focus is set to the first field (‘Name’). As soon as you start typing the new component’s name, notice that the characters are automatically echoed in the other fields (‘Local Name’, ‘Trade Name’ etc.). In many cases, these fields are not all that important (at least during the first stages of new process) and SuperPro Designer offers to keep as defaults the same strings as the name (up to size restrictions). If you wish to provide your own (more appropriate) values, simply visit the corresponding field and overwrite. |
