About This Sample

This sample CycleLink spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel/Microsoft Office 97) and model combination is an example of a type of application you can make by combining the power of CycleLink and GateCycle software.

Terms and Conditions

Only organizations with a current maintenance contract for GateCycle software with GE may legally download and use these samples. All licensing arrangements previously signed remain in effect. This information is provided as a courtesy to our customers.

In this example, the GateCycle software user has developed a spreadsheet/model combination for estimating the performance of an Nx1 3 pressure level plant. The CycleLink model can be used by sales or development staff who don't need to know anything about modeling plants or using GateCycle software. The developer starts the CycleLink application, enters the number of trains, ambient and other data on the Inputs sheet, and then presses the Run Model button. After CycleLink runs, the developer presses the Print Results button. The Outputs sheet is printed as a one-page summary of the plant.

Additional copies of CycleLink-only versions of the GateCycle software for development staff are available for a fraction of the cost of GateCycle software. Contact ge-enter.sales@ps.ge.com for more information.
