A steady state point corresponds with a fully stabilized condition of the gas turbine at a specific off-design condition. Main user input affecting off-design operation is specified in the General tab sheet. Several other tab sheet are available for more specific deviations from the design point operating conditions such as bleed flows, pressure losses, deterioration, variable geometry, heat soakage and volume effects etc., depending on the component type. Run a steady state point calculation by clicking the Steady State button in the model window.
Note that a design point calculation resets off-design input parameters in the General and certain other tab sheets back to their design values, if Auto Reset Input to Design is checked in Options|General.
