Description:
Process simulation applications require the exchange of significant amounts of data between the flowsheet environment, unit operation model, and thermodynamic server. Packing and unpacking various data types and exchanging data using structured text-based architectures, including XML-based systems such as the OPC Unified Architecture (UA), impose significant processing overhead that greatly affect process simulation application performance. For this reason, process simulation middleware protocols need to utilize low-level native data calls to maintain performance.
