capeOpenGetPackage

Creates or retrieves a handle to a CAPE-OPEN property package. This handle can be used in subsequent calls to all information functions and property or equilibrium calculation functions.

A list of installed property package managers can be obtained using capeOpenPackageManagers. The names of property packages exposed by a given property package manager can be obtained using capeOpenPackages.

A property package must always be created using this function before it can be used.

Syntax

handle=capeOpenPackages(mgr,packageName)

Arguments

mgr: string, name of an installed property package manager or stand-alone property package

packageName: string, name of the property package to create. The value of the string is ignored for a stand-alone property package.

Returns

handle: handle to the created property package.
