How to Use the Enalysis Simulator

The Enalysis Simulator allows users to evaluate different compressor operating conditions within Enalysis. It is available for both reciprocating and rotary screw compressors and is intended to support operational and logistical decision making before changes are made in the field.

The simulator should be used as an evaluation tool. Simulation results should be reviewed together with the compressor setup, operating limits, current field conditions, and the appropriate engineering resources before making an operating or configuration change.

What can I do with the Enalysis Simulator?

The Enalysis navigation guidance identifies the following Simulator capabilities:

• Simulate various operating conditions for reciprocating compressors.
• Simulate various operating conditions for rotary screw compressors.
• View additional details for a simulation.
• Send a simulation to your Detechtion Engineering Account Manager for review.

How do I access the Simulator?

The Simulator is accessed from the Simulator view in Enalysis. The source training describes this feature for Enalysis Simulator Users, so availability may depend on your user access.

1. Log in to Enalysis.
2. Find and select the compressor you want to evaluate.
3. Open the Simulator view for the asset.
4. Use the available simulation options to evaluate the operating condition you want to review.
5. Review the simulation details and results.
6. If additional guidance is needed, send the simulation to your Detechtion Engineering Account Manager for review.

What types of compressors can I simulate?

The Enalysis Simulator supports simulations for both reciprocating compressors and rotary screw compressors. The operating conditions and calculated information available in a simulation can differ by compressor type and asset setup.

Why would I use the Simulator?

The Simulator can be useful when you want to evaluate a potential operating scenario before making a change in the field. Detechtion training describes Simulator capabilities as a way to improve operational and logistical decision making.

Examples of situations where simulation may be useful include reviewing a potential change in operating conditions, comparing possible compressor operating scenarios, or preparing a scenario to discuss with your Engineering Account Manager.

What should I review before using a simulation result?

A simulation is only one part of the decision making process. Before acting on a simulated scenario:

• Confirm that the compressor and asset setup information in Enalysis is accurate.
• Review the current operating conditions and the latest Enalysis report.
• Consider applicable compressor and driver operating limits.
• Review related performance and health KPIs that could be affected by the proposed change.
• Have your Detechtion Engineering Account Manager review the simulation when engineering guidance is needed.

Can I send a simulation to my Engineering Account Manager?

Yes. The Enalysis navigation guidance identifies the ability to send a simulation to your Engineering Account Manager. This can be useful when you want engineering input before making an operating or configuration decision.

What if I do not see the Simulator?

The source material describes the feature specifically for Enalysis Simulator Users. If the Simulator is not available in your Enalysis view, contact your Detechtion Engineering Account Manager or Enalysis Support to confirm access and availability for your account.
