    Hi,
    I'm trying to manuplate cape-open distillation inlet via python. For example, I'm changing inlet flow rate and get condenser/reboiler heat duty for calculating utility demand.
    I tried t101.Calculate, fsheet.SolveFlowsheet2() to update outlets. When I used DWSim GUI my column works well. How can I get new calculated outlet properties with in one script run.
    I'm using DWSim 6.5.6 with python 3.8.11/python.NET 2.5.2 on Windows 10 x64.

    Thanks

    fsheet.SolveFlowsheet2() should work, what exactly is hapenning?

    In my flowsheet, I have one splitter connected 2 distillation sequence. I'm tring to select one of these sequences. In python code, I tried to deactivate (with t102.GraphicObject.Active = False) for saving solving time. But I couldn't success, finally I am solving whole flowsheet and there is no problem.
    Additionally, In same flowsheet, I have cooler attached energy flow shows positive energy value. But another heater (temperature increases) also shows positive energy flow. Sign of energy flow how is determined?

    Thanks.
