The Base Configuration model (BaseCfg or Reference model in GSP 11) is the root configuration from which all Configurations and Case models will inherit. This top configuration usually is the engine configuration from which a design or performance analysis study is started. There is no restriction in the model arrangements in the configurations derived from the reference model. An extreme example is an empty reference model with a number of different sub-configurations. In the future this variant may be replaced by a set-up allowing multiple reference models in a GSP project.

 

A Base Configuration model is similar to the configuration model with respect to access to certain input. In the Base Configuration model the modeler specifies the configuration of the model of the engine. This permits the modeler to change the model specific configuration data (such as shaft ID's e.g.) and design input field data. Refer to input access rules for detailed rules for input access.

 

In this model the modeler is allowed to place gas path components and control components.

 

A Base Configuration model instance cannot be run.
