Importing OLI chemistry model in PRO/II
Getting Started with Building a Chemistry Model for ProII with OLI chemistry wizard.
Go to the Start bar and open a folder OLI Engine in PROII 9.x. Please note that x means which version you have installed on your machine. For this document we are using 9.1.1 as example.
Open the Chemistry Wizard, you will see the flash screen with the OLI Engine number and PROII version number for use.
We are creating a test1 chemistry model for example. Please make sure to have the working directory path to be valid and same for your PROII files and chemistry wizard files.
This screen tells you which Thermodynamic Framework OLI is using for this mode. It is Aqueous.
Click on Add button on the next screen and start typing names in the pop up window. Column listed under ID will get populated.
Click Next on Redox and Assay/ Pseudo Screen. We will not be covering them for this tutorial.
Check the Phases to include them.
Click on Generate Files now to create a dbs file for use in PROII.
When you do the above step you will see the following message. It shows the Working directory on this message too. Click OK and Finish.
Now it's time to launch the PROII software. Go back to Start bar and find the Software.
This is how version 9.1.1 looks. Note that the purpose for this tutorial is to cover the chemistry import from OLI side only. Any questions on the PROII interface should be directed to Schneider Electric.
Open a new file as shown below.
Go to the Thermodynamic Data icon on the top toolbar.
Under category, select Electrolyte.
Next, under Electrolyte System, select User Added Models 7.0-8.2. For newer versions, these numbers might be different.
Click on the Add-> button after choosing the Electrolyte System.
Now we have three steps. Click on the Modify button shown by #1 under Actions for Selcted Property Calculation System.
A Thermodynamic Data- Modification window pops up.
Click on Browse button shown by #2.
Insert the working directory address copied from Chemistry wizard dbs file above at this point. Shown by #3
Following message will pop up about Electrolyte Component Generation. Click Yes.
Now you are all set to perform the calculations in PROII using OLI chemistry. To confirm the components to be there. Click on the Component selection icon at the top toolbar. It is encircled in the following image. The pop up window shows the components you selected earlier in the chemistry model.
