On the right side of the workspace, there is an Input Parameters menu. It is used to set the general values under which the pneumatic system operates
Subsequently, these parameters will be used to calculate the entire system and will correspondingly influence its behavior
Currently, there are 12 parameters
Normal temperature — A reference temperature (typically 0°C or 20°C) to which volumetric air flow rates are standardized for accurate comparison
Ambient temperature — The temperature of the surrounding air entering the compressor. It affects air density and compression efficiency
Critical pressure ratio of an ideal nozzle — The maximum pressure ratio at which the speed of sound (critical/sonic flow) is reached in a nozzle (or a pneumatic cylinder, valve). A key parameter for flow calculation
Pressure of air — The operating pressure in the pneumatic system required for equipment to function (e.g., 6 bar). A core design specification
Price of compressed air — The cost per unit of compressed air (often per 1000 m³). Used to evaluate financial losses from leaks and inefficient usage
