Component Properties - Molecular...Category: Component DataCreated: 2 Mar 2015Description:   This window allows you to specify component dipole moment, radius of gyration, van der Waals Area Parameter and the van der Waals Volume Parameter for all components, excluding assay components. For those properties having UOMs, all data will appear with the current problem’s UOMs. In cases where there is no library value to serve as the default for a given property, the def ...
Mixer Unit Operation - CalculationsCategory: General Unit OperationsCreated: 2 Mar 2015Description:   The mixer unit combines two or more streams into a single product stream. Note that the mixer unit determines the product phases but cannot split them into different streams. If you desire to split the product stream into separate phases, substitute a flash unit for the mixer.   Calculation Method   The operation of a mixer is described by the outlet pressure condition ...

Custom textures: ExamplesCategory: Art Surface ModelingCreated: 3 Mar 2015Description: Click the links below to view samples of custom textures you can add to your Art models using the Custom Textures function in the Mastercam Art, Create Textures submenu. Mastercam Art's custom textures are built from arrayed Art Surface Library files (.asl) and a selected texture style that you modify using the Custom texture parameters dialog box. Exampl ...
