Use ChromWorks SMB model for Control StudyUnderstand how it could work with MS Excel, MATLAB, so on, via COM interface

Interoperability

0ChromWorks software is developed under Microsoft .NET framework. It is 100% compatible and interoperable with any other application as long as the 3rd party application is compatible and useable within .NET framework.

0ChromWorks SMB simulator is COM-Visible. It means the user can call and execute ChromWorks SMB models from most of Windows applications (e.g. Excel, Word, PowerPoint, MATLAB, etc.)

SMB simulation on Excel

0 You could use Microsoft Excel (2003, 2007 and 2010) to run ChromWorks SMB simulation model.

0 The workflow is (1) prepare your own SMB model setup on Excel spreadsheet, (2) execute SMB simulation runs, (3) interpret and visualize the simulation results on Excel spreadsheet and plot.

0 Simulation inputs and results are dynamically exchangeable at run time between Excel and ChromWorks. If you want to add your inputs into the simulation at run time, yes you can do it whatever you want.

0 Also you should be able to integrate SMB simulation with other type of additional computation, such as process control or optimization.

0 Interoperability with Excel offers a perfect environment for various industrial demands in terms of integration with other software or in-house tools.

How to reference SMB model in Excel

0 First, you need to reference the ChromWorks module. In Microsoft Excel, go to Tools >> References. You could find SMBPharma, check and press OK. You will then be able to run SMB simulation from Excel.
