NeqSim is the main part of the NeqSim project. NeqSim (Non-Equilibrium Simulator) is a Java library for estimating fluid properties and process design. The basis for NeqSim is a library of fundamental mathematical models related to phase behavior and physical properties of fluids. NeqSim is easilly extended with new models. NeqSim development was initiated at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

Releases

NeqSim releases are available as a packaged jar file and as source code. NeqSim can be used in a third party application by adding NeqSim jar to the classpath.

Getting started as a NeqSim Java user

NeqSim can be used in a Java application by adding the neqsim-x.x.x.jar found in NeqSim releases to the classpath. A demonstration of downloading the library and running a TPflash benchmark is illustrated in this NeqSim Colab demo. Learn and ask questions in Discussions for use and development of NeqSim. Also see the NeqSim JavaDoc.

Use of the NeqSim package

NeqSim can be set up as a dependency in a Java project via the NeqSim GitHub package distribution.

Getting Started as a NeqSim Java developer

See the NeqSim Java Wiki for how to use the NeqSim API. NeqSim can be built using the Maven build system (https://maven.apache.org/). All NeqSim build dependencies are given in the pom.xml file. Learn and ask questions in Discussions for use and development of NeqSim.

Initial setup

The NeqSim source code is downloaded by cloning the library to your local computer (alternatively fork it to your private reprository). The following commands are dependent on a local installation of GIT and Maven.

git clone https://github.com/equinor/neqsim.git
cd neqsim
./mvnw install

Note The maven wrapper command is dependend on your OS, for Unix use: ./mvnw Windows: mvnw.cmd

An interactive demonstration of how to get started as a NeqSim developer is presented in this NeqSim Colab demo.

Running the tests

The test files are written in JUnit5 and placed in the test directory. Test code shuld be written for all new code added to the project, and all tests have to pass before merging into the master branch.

Test coverage can be examined using jacoco from maven.
Generate a coverage report using ./mvnw jacoco:prepare-agent test install jacoco:report and see results in target/site/jacoco/index.html.

Note The maven wrapper command is dependend on your OS, for Unix use: ./mvnw Windows: mvnw.cmd

Deployment

The NeqSim source code is compiled and distributed as a Java library. NeqSim releases are available for download from the release pages.
