Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you all!

 

Today I have signed up for this community by chance searching to solve a problem I have confronted.

 

The problem is "I can't find out how to remove the warning popups for a infeasible design in a reflux distillation column run".

 

Both by automation through MATLAB activeX handle approach, and HYSYS program settings.

 

In either ways I want to

1. avoid popups arising

or

2. handle the situation by a)knowing popup is on and sendKeys through to close popups by actxserver("WScript.Shell")

or

3. just not make up popups by HYSYS settings.

or

4. approach HYSYS.Backdoor through activeX handle(to search the whole hierarchy to find the object related to warnings or status)

 

Currently, the popup shows up when I run the column by

Run(SImulationCase.Flowsheet.Operations.Item('T-100').ColumnFlowsheet),

because I'm trying to make a feasibility matrix for the distillation column.

 

Thank you in advance.

Replies will help me a lot.

I forgot to add some points.

 

1. It didn't work when I ticked off the error display options as below.

2. Or when I used "ChangePreferencesToMinimizePopupWindows(hysys,1)"

from your description I would guess you wish to call the column object (in Aspen) from some Matlab code, for example as part of some optimization procedure,

do not forget that simulators run as independent processes, they have their own exception handling and so on... if you stop error reporting you may lose control on exception handling with possible numerical errors (which can stop optimizer etc.) so, before to stop error reporting make sure the simulator has the ability to recover automatically from all this kind kind of problems...

for similar applications (running procedures from Matlab, Mathcad etc.) I prefer thermodynamic libraries (I have Prode Properties) but at cheresources forums you can find posts discussing both solutions....
