Now you can perform high fidelity transient analysis at your desk using the ProTRAX dynamic simulation software system. Since 1987, TRAX product development has focused on creating dynamic or transient analysis tools that can be effectively used by engineers with little or no simulation background.

ProTRAX dynamic models can be built to represent all, or part, of your plant. These dynamic models can be used to analyze any type of control, operational or equipment problems. They can also be used to examine plant startups, shutdowns or emergency operations. Furthermore, ProTRAX dynamic models can all be run to steady state providing data that rigorously complies with all conservation laws.

TRAX provides several options to best meet your needs:

• Our engineers can build a dynamic model to your specifications, run through the transients of interest, and deliver a final report detailing the transient results. We will also deliver the dynamic model to you and show you how to run it.
• Our engineers can build a dynamic model to your specifications and deliver it to you. Your engineers then use the model to examine the transients of interest. This way, your engineers concentrate on dynamic analysis.
• You can purchase a ProTRAX system, build a dynamic model, then analyze and solve your plant problems yourself. With our supplied training course, you shouldn’t have any trouble building and running a dynamic model. Plus, purchase of a ProTRAX system includes unlimited telephone support at no charge for the first year.

The ProTRAX Simulation System brings virtually unlimited analytic capability to the engineer's desk with a unique combination of features optimized for today's computer.

ProTRAX as an Analysis Tool

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
