gsphelp  Component ID string

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The component ID string can be specified in the top-middle of GSP component data entry windows. If non-blank, it is used to identify component parameters such as pressure ratio PR or efficiency, which are not station number oriented (but apply to an entire component). For a compressor with ID string 'c' then compressor pressure ratio will be represented by 'PR_c' (c preceded by '_'). Component ID strings have defaults corresponding to the name of the component: c for compressor, f for fan, t for turbine, b for burner etc.

If the ID string is empty, the component number is used instead to identify component parameters. When adding components, the ID string is automatically kept unique by adding numbers to the string.
