HTRI Parametric Study Tool (Members need to log in to download the file)
The HTRI Parametric Study tool extends the capabilities of HTRI Xchanger Suite using Microsoft Excel and the OLE automation server interface and API that is installed with Xchanger Suite. This tool allows you to run many Xchanger Suite cases in series based on a template *.htri file while varying parameters of your choosing.

Use this tool if you want to study the sensitivity of calculation results when changing input to the HTRI software. The tool is intended for users with experience using and knowledge of the underlying data models in Xchanger Suite. However, with some patience and practice, a novice user should be able to effectively use this tool.
