Object Oriented Engineering

PROCESS/FAST module is used as the Object Oriented Engineering tool to add user defined functions in the FAST/TOOLS environment. These can be very simple like summing the value of two tags and putting the result in a third tag up to a full set of flow calculations or a function which describes the behavior of a pump. A function can to be defined once (called a class) and used multiple times (called objects).
