.FSD

📌 .FSD container is oriented onto flowsheet documents built and utilized by COCO (Cape Open to Cape Open) environments, designated for simulation tasks. In ordinary cases, the .FSD extension build-up is composed of an internal chemical flowsheet, which may be based on flow constraints, controllers, unit operations, and streams. Furthermore, the .FSD file type also stores data applied to configure the flowsheet, such as property packages, flowsheet options, color schemes, and stream types. Regarding the COCO simulation shell, it usually involves a range of utilities and components which permit you to model various chemical processes and reactions in the form of .FSD entries.

How to open an .FSD file?

📌 .FSD file samples can be modified and maintained by freeware AmsterCHEM COCO simulation environment, shared for open download without any functional or timely limitations. The COCO suite is designed specifically to reconstruct chemical processes and reactions without direct utilization of the chemicals and substances. The COCO bundle perfectly recognizes the .FSD format specification and varies with unique, intuitive graphical UI, clear for essential and advanced operations within the flowsheeting modules. Afterwards, the .FSD file samples can also be used as CAPE-OPEN unit operations, which allows you to apply them in scope of COFE or other virtual simulators.
