A component icon in the model window represents a gas turbine component integrated in an engine model. Double-clicking the icon brings up a component editing form. The right mouse-button brings up a pop-up menu for the component editing form an an option to rotate the icon 90 degrees.
Most components are linked to others using the small link icons representing either a control or a gas flow link. Some components are unlinked and usually represent subsystems defining some global model variable such as compressor bleed flow or turbine external load.
Click on the items in the example icon (a combustor) below to learn more about component icons.
See model window to see an example of icons linked together forming a gas turbine model.
A descriptive fly-over hint for model components, when placed on the model window , now includes the user defined Name and ID string; can be extended with anything in the future.
