KINTECUS V2.69 ============================================================ A new version of Kintecus V2.69 is out! A GRAPHICAL INTERFACE has been devised for Kintecus. Examples can be viewed at http://www.kintecus.com/graphica.htm Now all one has to do to run a model is click a button! You can examine various screenshots of the new graphical interface under the "What's New" Page at www.kintecus.com. In addition, a new User Area has been created for User Created/Submitted Kintecus Material/Papers/Homework. As always, http://www.kintecus.com contains the latest versions of Kintecus, more models, pre-post processing, online documentation, custom Kintecus newsgroups and postings, current bug reports and forms, suggestion boxes, movies and much more! KINTECUS ============================================================ Powerful Industrial Strength/Research Grade chemical modeling software for simulation of combustion, nuclear, biological, enzyme, atmospheric and many other processes via a graphical interface. Kintecus features the ability to quickly run Chemkin/SENKIN II/III models without the use of supercomputing power or FORTRAN compiling/linking. Multiple Chemkin/freestyle thermodynamic databases can be used. Isothermal/Non-isothermal, adiabatic constant volume, constant pressure (variable volume) can easily be modeled with a flick of a switch. Programmed volume (replicating engine piston motion), programmed temperature, programmed species concentration can all easily be included in your model WITHOUT C/FORTRAN programming. Heterogeneous chemistry is also easily modeled. Now can now fit or optimize rate constants, initial concentrations, Lindemann/Troe/SRI/LT parameters, enhanced third body factors, initial temperature, residence time, energy of activation and many other parameters against your experimental/fabricated dataset(s). Kintecus V2.69 has the ability to fit/optimize rate constants, initial concentrations, Lindemann/Troe/SRI/LT parameters, enhanced third body factors, initial temperature, residence time, energy of activation and many other parameters against your dataset(s). Note that Kintecus will actually fit the parameters at EXACTLY the time your data was measured. Unlike other programs, Kintecus DOES NOT interpolate a function against your data and then fit the values against this interpolation. There is no need to “clean” your data, suggest interpolation methods nor specify timing meshes against your experimental data since Kintecus calculates values at exactly the times you specify in your experimental datafile. Kintecus is a compiler to model the reactions of chemical, biological, enzyme, nuclear and atmospheric processes using three input spreadsheet files: a reaction spreadsheet, a species description spreadsheet and a parameter description spreadsheet. For thermodynamics, an optional thermodynamics description spreadsheet can be supplied. Kintecus has been designed with ease of use in mind. Absolutely no programming, compiling or linking required.
