Highlights

Thermo SIG reviewed the preliminary program of the CAPE-OPEN 2023 Annual Meeting, especially for what pertains to the area covered by the Thermo SIG.

Thermo SIG pursued the modification of section 5.2.4 of the Thermodynamic and Physical Properties interface specification. Further clarifications were added to this section so that the reliability/unreliability of the Phase status information (CAPE_ATEQUILIBRIUM, CAPE_UNKNOWNPHASESTATUS, CAPE_ESTIMATES) is properly understood. The confidence in the Phase status heavily relies on the sequence of calls between a Material Object and the components in communication with the Material Object.

Next conference call is scheduled for July 26, 2023.
