Notes:
The performance of the simultaneous-modular approach on five simulation problems, ranging in complexity from very simple to moderately complex, is studied. Numerical experiments comparing different computational strategies for implementing the simultaneous-modular approach are also performed. Full-block perturbation is found to be the most suitable technique for obtaining the flowsheet-level Jacobian. On process simulation problems the simultaneous-modular approach, as implemented in SIMMOD, is found to be as reliable as the sequential-modular approach, and competitive with or sometimes much better than the sequential-modular approach in terms of computational efficiency.
