    Hi there,

    I have recently downloaded DWSim as well as the pipe network add-on file. I then right click on the desktop shortcut for DWSim, click Open file location (which takes me to DWSim app data), and have pasted the Pipe Network "unitops" file into this location.

    However when I load DWSim, the pipe network Unit Operation does not appear under "Pressure changers".

    Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I followed the instructional videos I could find.

    If someone could please assist that would be very much appreciated, as I could do with this software functionality for work.

    Many thanks.

    The Pipe network DLL files must be copied to the unitops folder.

    Could you please re-download the DWSIM installer (not the Pipe Network UO), install it and try again?

      Hi again Daniel, having some difficulty with the solver. i think there may still be something not quite right. I get the error: "the given key was not present in the dictionary". Screen shot image: https://ibb.co/NxXM2Jt

      Also when selecting the material of a pipe segment in the solver; I also get an error. Screen shot image: https://ibb.co/NxfqFbL

    Hello
    I have a problem regarding (Pipe network unit operation). When I open the "network designer" and ad an object , a big cross appears and an error message pop out "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I have reinstall the application many times but nothing was solved.
    Thank you
