Quick Guide
A short workflow guide for using Molycop Tools as a browser-based engineering workspace.
Select Your Tool
Browse the Tool Categories in the sidebar or use the searchable library to find the calculation you need.
Input Your Data
Enter operating parameters in editable input fields. Calculated outputs update in result panels and remain visually separated from user-entered values.
Run Calculations
Many tools update immediately as inputs change. Tools with solvers or fit routines expose a clear action button so you can run the calculation when the dataset is ready.
Analyze Results
Review key metrics, charts, diagnostics and warnings in the results area. Use saved scenarios and reports to compare cases or preserve assumptions for later review.
General Workflow
Navigation
Use the sidebar, dashboard categories, or searchable Tool Library to move between process areas. Each tool keeps its inputs, results, notes and reports in one workspace.
Use the library search when you know a model name or equipment type.
Scenario Management
Save scenarios when you want to compare designs, preserve a survey case, or return to a previous calculation. Scenario remarks are included in generated reports.
Use concise names such as "Project A - Base Case" or "Survey 2026-07 - Mill 2".
Solvers and Fitting
Parameter-fitting tools and circuit simulators use in-app numerical routines. When a solver is available, the page shows its controls, status and diagnostic outputs directly.
No extra add-ins or separate calculation files are required for normal use.
Data Integrity
Input fields accept assumptions for the active case. Result fields, derived charts and diagnostics are calculated by the tool and cannot be edited directly.
Save a scenario before major assumption changes so the current case can be recovered.
Flowsheet Studies
The simulators cover core unit operations including ball mills, SAG mills, screens and hydrocyclones.
Use scenario results from one tool as inputs to another when building a broader flowsheet study. Labs tools are being added for circuit-level workflows.
Example: combine SAG mill, ball mill and classification results when screening a double-stage SABC circuit.
Data Input Protocol
Each tool includes an About Tool tab that explains its scope, theoretical framework and key assumptions.
Define all required inputs before using a result for design or production decisions. Review the About Tool tab, scenario remarks and generated report so assumptions remain clear.
