IPSEpro MDK - Development Kit

MDK, IPSEpros Model Development Kit, offers all capabilities that are required to define new models translate them into a form that can be used by PSE. MDK consists out of two functional units: the Model Editor, and the Model Compiler. The model editor allows the user to design icons that represent the models and to describe the model behavior mathematically.

MDK provides a model description language (MDL) to describe models mathematically. MDL is intuitive since it is based on standard mathematical notations. It is closely integrated with the user interface.

It is necessary to notice several important facts:

In MDL the user actually writes the equation, not assignments like in traditional programming languages. Therefore it is permitted to use expressions on the left hand side.
The sequence how the equations are written is irrelevant for the actual solution process. PSE’s solver determines the optimum solution sequence independently, according to the actual process model.
MDL allows you to use conditional statements inside an equation.
In the example above “t1” is a test condition. If this condition is not satisfied at the end of a solution process, PSE issues a warning
