Quick start basics - Your first simulation session .

 

Before running a simulation, you must start GSP and create a project or open an existing project. A GSP project may contain one or more gas turbine model configurations. Configurations normally will have one or more run cases to perform the actual simulations. Configurations and cases are organized in a tree structure on the left of the project window. There is always a single root configuration named the Base configuration model (in GSP 11 this is called the "Reference Model").

 

1.Start GSP by selecting Start|Programs|NLR GSP 12|GSP 12 from the MS-Windows task bar.
An introductory splash screen appears (can be accompanied by a jet engine aircraft fly-by sound in case of a multimedia PC, which you can switch off in the environment options). Next, the main window appears.
2.Open the existing example project by clicking the Open button from the File menu, select TJET.MXL from the sample projects directory of the GSP main directory and press Open. The example project is a simple turbojet engine model configuration representing an engine similar to the General Electric J85 (powering e.g. the Northrop F-5).
The loading process is reported in the progress bar. After loading, the project window  appears:

Save the project using File|Save Project As... to the user GSP\models directory in the My Documents folder (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\GSP\models).
