scaleup 1.0.12

Python scripting library for Scale-up RunScript Automation

Scaleup

Scale-up Suite Automation. This library provides a set of high level methods for scripting automation of Dynochem(R) and Reaction Lab(TM) models through the RunScript Automation interface. These methods wrap the COM calls to Scale-up Suite's ModelAutomation.exe allowing end users to write shorter and simpler scripts and focus on what they want to achieve rather than the mechanics of doing it.

Contact your Scale-up Systems representative to obtain access to the RunScript Automation product to which this library connects.
