Components are the main building blocks for building GSP models. In the GSP interface, a component is represented by an icon on the model panel, symbolizing the specific gas turbine component.
Three main categories of components can be identified:
•Gas Path Components,
•Control Components,
•Custom Components.
Components are drag-and-dropped from library windows onto the model windows and arranged to form the desired gas turbine configuration. Once a component is on a model panel, its properties and characteristics can be specified using the data specification window (accessed by double-clicking the icon).
Instead of representing a gas turbine model, model windows can also be used to hold a number of (unlinked) components and serve as a repository of pre-configured component models to be saved and copied to other models.
Refer to the Technical Manual for a comprehensive description of the component models.
