This software enables the importation of CAPE-OPEN Ver. 1.1 packages to SciLab. The command-driven package facilitates the selection of a desired CAPE-OPEN Property Package, and provides the ability to perform calculations for thermodynamic and physical properties, as well as phase equilibria.

More specifically, the package defines all the required interfaces to communicate with CAPE-OPEN thermodynamic and physical Property Packages, but doesn't implement the thermodynamic engine itself. To use this package effectively, you'll need to have the 32-bit version of SciLab 5.02 (or higher) or the 64-bit version of SciLab 5.4 (or higher) which is available free-of-charge. Additionally, you must have installed a CAPE-OPEN version 1.1 compliant thermo system such as TEA (which comes with the free COCO Simulator).
To quickly get started with SciLab CAPE-OPEN Thermo Import after installation, type capeOpenQuickRef in SciLab. What's more, this software package is free of charge for personal and academic use. If you use it for commercial purposes, you'll have to pay a small license fee. The good news is that this license is on a per-person basis and can be used on multiple computers.
