While the potential uses for desktop dynamic simulation are virtually unlimited, some of the more common uses are:

	Plant design
	Examining plant operating characteristics including startups and shutdowns
	Control system design and analysis
	Plant behavior in emergency situations (trips, runbacks)
	Evaluation of operating procedures (and the plant's response)
	Impact of equipment modifications
	Plant troubleshooting
	Process or controls optimization
	Plant repowering
	Control system tuning

ProTRAX was designed for the engineer who understands the process but does not necessarily have a simulation background. The following features demonstrate the power, user-friendliness and versatility of the system:

	Drag and drop model-building from large process module libraries for conventional and unconventional power, process, pulp and paper, wastewater and other industries
	Full set of control system modules for design or analysis
	Unattended automated analysis
	Multiple run capability for control system tuning
	Dynamic plant schematics at runtime
	Trending and Post Plotting of up to 60 variables simultaneously
	Robust full range process models
	Convenient interface to external programs
