1. OVERVIEW         
===========
  (AEL) Aero Engine Lab 2.0 - is a modeling system for thermogas dynamic 
processes in gas turbine engine and powerplants.
  (AEL) Aero Engine Lab 2.0 is applicable for structure synthesis and parametric 
analysis of aero-engines and powerplants. This system includes independent 
universal modules of heat engine's basic elements and unique calculation 
algorithms of general gas turbine engine's units (compressor, combustion 
chamber, turbine and others).
  At the basis of math models construction lies a principle of embedded 
iteration cycles. It implements the physical explanation and universality of 
processes of aero-engines with environment-varying work cycle.
  AEL resolves the following tasks:
- any-circle-engine math model construction;
- characteristics calculation (thrust versus r.p.m. curve, altitude-velocity 
curve, dynamic performance);
- unsteady (transient) regime calculation.

   AEL ver. 2.0 REQUIRES  Borland Database Engine (BDE) or full release 
of Borland Delphi (c) installed on your computer.      
   You can download Borland Database Engine free from Borland Delphi's site
or from our site as it's a redistributable software:

http://m-mod.hypermart.net/bde32.zip


AEL 2.0 requires Windows95/98/2000/NT


2. REGISTRATION
===============
   AEL ver. 2.0 is a shareware ($223 US). You must read and accept the terms 
detailed in the license.txt file before you can use this software. 
   Evaluation period is 30 days.
   An ordering information is provided in the file order.txt for the purpose 
of registering this software.


AEL ver. 2.0 is maintained at the following internet address:

                     http://www.mechmodel.com               
                     http://m-mod.hypermart.net/


               e-mail: support@mechmodel.com

where you can find the latest release and links to support and on-line
ordering sites.

Demo-version of AEL ver. 2.0 that you've downloaded is 
feature-limited (you can not operate with all modules but only with a few ones). 

You must register first to get a full version.

REGISTERED USERS WILL RECEIVE A FULL VERSION OF AEL (c) 2.0 IN APROX 
48 HOURS AFTER REGISTRATION.

THE FULL VERSION OF AEL (c) allows you:
                               	
- to model any aero-engine circuits of any complexity;
- to solve both analysis and synthesis tasks;
- to construct complicated calculation principles;
- to make characteristics calculation (thrust versus r.p.m. curve, 
altitude-velocity curve, dynamic performance);

______________________________FREE__________________________________________
   REGISTERED USERS get next version of this software FREE and also a FREE 
support for it.   
______________________________FREE__________________________________________


3. INSTALLATION 
================

Unzip all archive files into some directory and run exe-file.

If you have neither Borland Delphi (c) components nor full release 
installed on your computer then you have to download Borland Delphi (c) 
components free from our site as it's a redistributable software::

http://m-mod.hypermart.net/bde32.zip

- unzip bde32.zip file into some directory and run setup.exe;
- follow the installation procedure;
- after the installation is complete reboot your system;
- go to AEL directory and run exe-file.


4. HOW IT WORKS            
================

- run exe-file; 
- go to menu "File" -> "Open" and open .mds-file (mechanism models catalog) 
from a \mod subdirectory;
- go to menu "Calculations" -> "Begin calculate" for the visualization of the 
calculation process;

     Calculation modes:
           0  - calculation of the start point without visualization;
         1000 - calculation of the start point with visualization;
	   1  - characteristic calculation without visualization;
         1001 - characteristic calculation with visualization.

 You can change input parameters for all components and observe output 
parameters after calculation. You can compute all thermogas dynamic 
aero-engine's parameters.

_______________________IMPORTANT_____________________________________________
Any assembling circuit must include "Initial conditions" ¨ "Total results" 
components.
_______________________IMPORTANT_____________________________________________

In unregistered version of AEL only 5 components (which are used as a 
demonstration) are operational.
_______________________IMPORTANT_____________________________________________

5. OPTIONS AND PROPERTIES  
=========================

The AEL (c) has standard Windows application interface.
All needed information is described in "Help" menu.

6. NEXT VERSION OVERVIEW
=========================

THE NEXT VERSION OF AEL ALLOWS YOU:

- to calculate unsteady (transient) regime;
- to visualize calculations results in real-time mode;
- to table and modify any parameters;
- to make results reports.
