Q:
|
How can I get a free version of GSP ?
|
|
A:
|
The standard version of GSP is free for non-profit use and can be downloaded
in the download
section. With the standard version you have access to two component
libraries (i.e. the standard and the generic control system libraries).
Support is only available through the on-line help; for further support
you must obtain a registered version.

Q:
|
How can I get a registered version of GSP ?
|
|
A:
|
A registered version of GSP can be obtained by contacting us through the
Request for Information form.
The National Aerospace Laboratory NLR supports registered users of GSP by
answering questions and assisting in solving problems, according to the
limitations in the license agreement. Extensive support or assistance with
development of new models and NLR developed customized components will be
provided only in conjunction with extended license agreements or additional
contract assignments to NLR.

Q:
|
Where can I get assistance for my problem ?
|
|
A:
|
The first step is referring to the context sensitive on-line help provided with GSP,
an efficient way to learn about the simulation environment and component model
features.
Further information on the thermodynamics and numerical mathematics applied in the
simulation environment and component models can be obtained from the
GSP Technical Manual.
This manual is required for more advanced use, including the development of new
gas turbine models and new component models.
If the on-line help and GSP Technical Manual do not provide sufficient information,
you can contact us through the
Request for Information form.
Extensive support or assistance with development of new models and NLR developed
customized components will be provided only in conjunction with extended license
agreements or additional contract assignments to NLR.

Q:
|
What about the upgrade policy ?
|
|
A:
|
Since GSP standard is free, you can just download the new version from the
download section.
Registered users receive free updates of GSP and their custom component libraries
upon request for the major version number GSP has been bought.
Notification about a new version is done through a newsletter to all registered
users and those who have expressed interest through the
Feedback form.
(Notifications on BETA releases are not distributed!)

Q:
|
Is there a Linux or Macintosh version available ?
|
|
A:
|
GSP is currently only available for MS-Windows. A Linux version is planned in the near future,
dependent on the amount of compatibility of the GSP (Borland Delphi) code with
Borland Kylix, the Delphi
version for Linux.
A Macintosh version is not and will not be available.
