Quick start basics - Adapting a model .
After having analysed steady state and transient performance of an existing model, adapting the model to another type of engine with the same configuration might be interesting. In that case, component model parameters need to be modified, resulting in different engine performance characteristics.
A model can easily be modified by double-clicking on the component icons and editing the various component data. You may select different modeling options, change general component data, modify the design point by changing design point values (indicated by a navy blue color in Windows standard colors, not using the XP theme since the XP theme overrides custom colors), or change off-design behaviour by using different component maps.
A model may also be extended with additional components, like extra booster-compressors (to be inserted between fan and compressor) in case of a turbofan configuration, or with controls for bleed flows. This more advanced use of GSP is demonstrated in "Deriving a new model".
