Click the ButtonInit (Init) button of the project toolbar to (re-)initialize the model. Upon pressing this button several checks/initializations on the model are performed, e.g.:

check whether all components are connected,

create component calculation list,

component label numbers are refreshed,

checking of duplicate station ID's,

checking of duplicate output parameters (e.g. shaft speed output),

defines component configuration, States and Error vars,

executes init procedure of components (e.g. creates a list of output parameters to be selected from a drop down list),

check bleeds,

check whether new tables have to be created,

resets all global output parameters.

 

You may want to Reinitialize the model after a simulation prior to a next one in order to have the model state reside at its optimal starting point for the iteration. For example: after ending a simulation at near IDLE power, much deviating inlet conditions, deterioration or other severe operating condition deviations, starting the simulation with a different input may require GSP to iterate to instable/impossible/conflicting operating regions. After a decel to IDLE for example, a successive simulation at full power will cause over-rich mixture in the combustor, resulting in failure to calculated realistic combustor exit temperatures.
