Since the logs are so similar I think the debug messages are harmless. I agree they shouldn't be there but I think they are a consequence of you running a debug build. I think the first step is to re-run the test with a release build of 1.08.2 (or .3?) and to compare with 1.07 again.

Michael,

I have not made any calculations in both examples. I just selected the Property Package and stopped there. Things may be fine with calculations afterwards but my point is that debug assertion failed messages should not pop up. By clicking on Ignore at each debug assertion failed message I am moving on. There is no such message with COLTT 1.07 enabled on COMThermo Thermo System.

Best regards

Michael,

Yes, you are right, it is a debug build.

Best Regards

The two logs look very similar, so it seems that the calculations proceed in both examples. Is that correct? Are you continuing through the debug messages?

Ahsan, do you know whether 1.08.2 is a debug build or a release build? Presumably 1.07 is a release build?

Hi,

I get « Debug Assertion Failed » messages while making the selection of a COMThermo PP in Simulis Thermodynamics. This occurs with COLTT 1.08.02 while it does not occur with COLTT v1.07. You will find attached a Word document made of screen copies of the scenario performed as well as the log files obtained both with 1.07 and 1.08.02.

I have given number 09-016 to this issue.

Best regards

Michel

Michael,

You may want to log this issue through the bug tracking facility on SourceForge. I have not put yet SHMA in copy since I don’t know what is the on-going status with SHMA at this stage.

Within Aspen Plus 2006.5 I had logged an issue labeled 917841 that pertained to the fact that the flow property in Aspen Plus was not correctly implemented. This led to defect CQ00319371. I had documented this defect with a dedicated Fortran made UO that did not much except calling on this flow property to show it did not work properly.

This defect has been announced as resolved in Aspen Plus 7.1.

So I have reset the case in Aspen Plus 7.1 with Cumulative Patch 1. I will post you through yousendit the accompanying material meaning the installer for the UO, the bkp file used to start the case as well as the log files and the screenshots mentioned hereafter.

The scenario is rather simple. I start from an Aspen Plus file that presents two material streams (one for input, one for output). The inlet stream is fully configured. I select the Corentin_version3 UO (the CAPE-OPEN UO mentioned above) within the CAPE-OPEN library of UOs available and I drop it on the flowsheet. In Aspen Plus 2006.5 I was able to connect the streams and to launch calculation. In Aspen Plus 7.1.1 the UO looks dead meaning no ports available on the UO so I don’t get any further. I have relogged an issue with Aspentech Support on that one.

To try understanding the issue I first logged the scenario with COLTT 1.07 enabled on the UO. To my surprise, with COLTT enabled on the UO, the ports are appearing on the UO and the calculation is fine. I can even check that indeed the flow property is well returned by the MO. So I have an issue with COLTT: it changes the behaviour in between the PMC and the PME.

My next step has been to try COLTT 1.08.02 on this case. Here I have also a change a behaviour between the PMC and the PME since the ports are showing up and I may launch the calculation. However I have, within the Calculate method, a debug assertion failure message (see screenshots for that) that I chose to ignore and I have then Aspen Plus miserably crashing.

So there is also a different behaviour between 1.07 and 1.08.02. That does not help.

I have defined this as being issue COLTT 09-017 in order to track it on my side for the moment. There may be two issues there. One is making the ports appear and the second is the debug assertion failure in 1.08.02.

Best regards

Michel

Reported by michaelhalloran, 15 years ago.

I am starting with a case file of UniSim Design R390 where one inlet stream is defined and three outlet streams are drawn. The scenario is to select a VB6 CAPE-OPEN UO (made by TOTAL) and insert it in the flowsheet, connect it, edit it and run it.

With COLTT 1.07, I get to the same point as without COLTT 1.07 enabled on the VB UO. The case can’t be run because the UO can’t be validated since the mixture molecularweight property is missing from the UniSim Design UO. You will find the file Screenshots_v107.doc showing the point I can reach and unisimdesign_082609_212727_v107.log as the log file obtained.

With COLTT 1.08.02 I can’t get so far. The UO does not load in UniSim Design when logged. You will find attached Screenshots_v10802.doc showing what happens as error message and unisimdesign_082709_075015_v10802.log as the log file obtained.

When I say attached, I will post the files as an archive on yousendit.com to ensure you can get access to these.

I am numbering this issue as COLTT09-018. I don’t know if the latest modifications committed by SHMA on COLTT will lead to a different behaviour. There is a need to know.
