CONFIGURE OLGA
The OLGA model configuration needs to comply with OLX™ specific requirements relates to
setting up the OLGA OPC server to enable external execution.
OLGA User Manual/Documentation may also assist on this.
4.1 Pre-Requisites
OLGA is installed and standalone OLGA simulations can be run.
4.2 Minimum Requirements
Minimum requirements for enabling linking to HYSYS are to configure the OLGA model in one
of the following ways: i) a single pressure node connection, or ii) a single mass source connection.
As every OLGA case is different from one another, there may be additional requirements to
specific OLGA models to make them suitable for linking to HYSYS.
4.2.1 General Server Configuration
The key steps for enabling the OLGA OPC server and make the OLGA model ready for
connecting to a HYSYS simulation model is:
•
•
Set the Simulator Mode to EXTERNAL
Expose global variables needed for time synchronization
A step-by-step procedure is given below where the OLGA GUI is used to configure an OLGA
model. Please note that the changes required may also be done using a text editor only, changing
the OLGA input file (*.genkey) directly.
From this point onwards, it is assumed that the OLGA sample case “Basic.opi” is the starting
point. Basic.opi contains a single branch, a mass source and a closed node at the inlet end, and a
pressure node at the outlet end.

Step-by-step procedure:
1. Start OLGA GUI
2. From the available templates in the Start window, select “Basic.opi” and specify a file
location. A copy of the Basic.opi case will be stored in the folder specified when the Create
button is clicked.
3. From the Model View window, click on Case Definition and add Serveroptions. In the
property window set SIMULATORMODE=EXTERNAL and choose unique names for
SERVERNAME, MODULENAME and MODELNAME:
4. From the model view window under Case Definition click on INTEGRATION. In the
properties window go to EXPOSE and add MAXDT and SIMULATIONSPEED to the list of
variables
5. From the Model View window, right click on Output and add SERVERDATA. Specify the
VARIABLE keyword to contain: HT, SIMTIME, SPEED, TIME.

4.2.2 Configure a Pressure Node
To connect to a pressure node in OLGA using OLGA GUI, do the following:
1. Click on the NODE named OUTLET. Set DPDGG, DPDGLTHL and DPDGLTWT to nondefault values (e.g. set values to 0.1 Pa-s/kg or preferably set manually to 0.0 Pa-s/kg). This
will ensure that these variables are exposed by OLGA on the OPC server.
2. Under Pressure conditions, set WATERFRACTION=0 and GASFRACTION=1. Again, this
is just to make sure OLGA makes these variables accessible on the OPC server. When
connected to HYSYS, water and gas fraction are given by HYSYS in case of reversed flow.
Finally, set EXPOSE=ALL.
3. From the Model View Window, expand the Flow Component folder, right click on NODE:
OUTLET and add Output-> SERVERDATA. Select DGGDPB, DGLTHLDPB,
DGLTWTDPB, GGBOU, GLTHLBOU, GLTWTBOU, PTBOU and TMBOU from the list of
available variables.
4. In the model view window select Case Definition\ FILES. In property window select correct
fluid tab file.
4.2.3 Configure a Pressure Node for compositional case
1 .If running a compositional case you should make sure GASCMASS, OILCMASS AND
WATERCMASS are set to none default values, these variables replaces the specification under
pressure conditions for WATERFRACTION and GASFRACTION.
2. An explicit SERVERDATA should be added to the pressure node. It should contain the
variables: CGGBOU, CGLTHLBOU, CGLTWTBOU so that the composition is exposed to the
server.
4.2.4 Configure a Mass Source
1. Click on the SOURCE you want to configure. Set DGGDP, DGLTHLDP and DDGLTWTDP to
non-default values (e.g. set values to 0.1 Pa-s/kg or preferably set manually to 0.0 Pa-s/kg). This
will ensure that these variables are exposed by OLGA to the OPC server. Finally, set
EXPOSE=ALL
2. From the Model View Window, expand the Flow Component folder, then expand the flowpath
folder right click on Output and add SERVERDATA. Select DPDGGS, DPDGLTHLS and
DPDGLTWTS. Under properties->Equipment for this SERVERDATA you should give an
explicit source. If you have several sources in your case you can choose all of them, but these
variables need a specific source.

4.2.5 Configure a Mass Source for compositional case
1. For a compositional case make sure GASFRACEQ, OILFRACEQ and WATERFRACEQ
under Properties->Compositional are set to default (=1). Under Properties->General
GASCMASSFLOW, OILCMASSFLOW and WATERCMASSFLOW should be set to nonedefault values so they are exposed to the server. The list length must be equal to the number of
components in the fluid.
2. If you are running a compositional case you should add at least two more SERVERDATA.
Add one and under properties->variable choose PT and TM. These variables must be given a
position, the same position as your source. If you are working with OLGA version 7.3 or
newer these variables can be exposed from the source itself and you do not have to use a
specific position. For versions older than 7.3 this is however a necessity.
3. Add another SERVERDATA under Flowpath->output. This SERVERDATA should contain
the variables CMG, CMLTHL and CMLTWT. Also here you should use position and choose
the same position as for your source. These variables will expose the composition to the OPC
server.
4.2.6 Generate Batch File
4. Click the Run Batch
button or hit F4 to generate the OLGA *.genkey file.
4.3 Test OLGA OPC server
To verify that the steps above have been successful, it is advisable to use an OPC explorer tool and
check that all exposed OLGA variables exists on the OPC server. BPT has used the freeware
Matrikon OPC Explorer from Matrikon.
4.4 Troubleshooting
•
•
•
Label names in OLGA model input files (*.genkey) should avoid space between letters, as
well as the use of “ ” signs.
In model view window check under Case Definition\ RESTART that READFILE = OFF
in the property view window.
Time series defined in the OLGA model will not be overruled if the OLGA controllers are
not exposed to the OPC server interface. In such cases, the time series in the OLGA model
may be deleted.

4.5 Configure OLGA Input/Output Variables
In principle, all variables in OLGA defined as Input variables and made exposed on the OLGA
OPC server may be manipulated from the OLX™ interface in HYSYS.
The OLGA keyword EXPOSE should be used to expose the relevant variables to the OLGA OPC
Server.
4.5.1 Configure OLGA Input/Output Variables
Similarly, all variables in OLGA defined as Output variables and made exposed on the OLGA
OPC server may be read from the OLX™ interface in HYSYS.
The OLGA keyword SERVERDATA should be used to expose the relevant variables to the
OLGA OPC Server.

4.6 Launch OLGA OPC Server
OLGA OPC server should be running prior to connecting the OLGA model with HYSYS. Make
sure the OLGA model file (*.genkey) is configured to run in server mode before proceeding. See
section 4.
Start OLGA OPC server by creating a batch-file (*.bat) which calls the OLGA executable (*.exe)
with the model filename (*.genkey) as argument. To create a batch file:
•
•
Use OLGA GUI by the Run Batch
button or hit F4, or
Use Notepad or similar and simply save a file with a (*.bat) extension. An example is
shown below:
@echo off
title "Running Basic.genkey with C:\Program Files\SPT Group\OLGA 7.2\OlgaExecutables\OLGA-7.2.exe"
pushd "C:\BPT\OlgaLink"
call "C:\Program Files\SPT Group\OLGA 7.2\OlgaExecutables\OLGA-7.2.exe" "Basic.genkey"
title "Finished Basic.genkey"
pause
exit
Supporting information as follows:
Type
Description
echo
title
pushd
call
ON/OFF,
Set the window title for the command prompt window
Refers to the folder with the project files (*.genkey)
Refers to the OLGA executable path and the the GENKEY file, stored under the folder specified
in “pushd”
Exits the command window
exit
Double-click the batch file to start the OLGA OPC server.

Important note
•
Make sure the appropriate HYSYS stream connections are made on the Connections page
before pushing Connect To OPC Server. If this is not done in the correct order the Link
will not be able to connect properly.
Notes
•
•
•
•
It may be necessary to configure OLGA Communication Details manually (if the
Analyze function doesn’t configure automatically), depending on the OLGA model setup.
Ask the supplier of the OLGA case for name details or read through the OLGA genkey file
using OLGA GUI, Notepad or similar.
If one is to run a simulation case and wants to save the case and continue the simulation
from this point one can use a snapshot file. Each time the HYSYS case is saved a snapshot
file will be made. To continue the simulation from the saving point one will have to use the
necessary snapshot file. The snapshot file is uploaded by double-clicking the OLGAHYSYS OPC Link icon. The OLGA-HYSYS OPC Link property view then appears. From
here click on the Setup tab, and click on the OPC server page. In the Snapshot file field
browse to apply the correct snapshot file. The easiest way to choose the right one is to look
at the date and time for the creation of the file. At the bottom of the OPC server page
there is a check box for loading a snapshot when connecting to OPC server. If this box is
checked like in Figure 5-2, the last saved snapshot will be auto-loaded.
OLGA restart file can be converted to a snapshot file by changing the file extension from
rsw to snp.
Inlets and outlets on the OLGA side, i.e. OLGA Sources, Available Positions and
OLGA Boundaries will be populated by the OLGA-HYSYS OPC Link during OPC
server configuration. The lists will be populated as they appear in the OLGA *.genkey file.
It is not possible to change the list order. Material Stream(s) connection(s) in HYSYS
should therefore be done after specifying OLGA OPC Server Name, Module Name and
Model Name under the OPC Server page.
Known Issues:
•
If the model name does not show up in the link upon clicking Analyse OLGA File, set
EXPOSE = ALL in the serveroptions part of the *.genkey file:
SERVEROPTIONS SIMULATORMODE=EXTERNAL
SERVERNAME=<Name_Of_Server>
MODULENAME=<OLGA_Module_Name>
MODELNAME=<Model_Name>
EXPOSE=ALL

5.2.2 Selecting calculation mode for “Mixed negative/positive flow handling”
From the OPC Server page, the user may select how the OLX is to treat conditions from the
OLGA model that constitutes a condition with mixed negative/positive phase flows, as this is a
condition not supported by HYSYS.
3 different calculation modes are available:
• Maintain net flow
(recommended)
• Maintain dominant flow
(recommended)
• Only keep positive
Below is a description of how the makes its calculations for each setting.
Maintain net flow
If phases flow in different directions, calculate the total flow. The direction of the total flow may
for convenience be termed "right flow". Create a composition with those phases that flow in right
direction and ignore the phase(s) that go the wrong way. Use the calculated total flow to determine
the flows of each phase.
The net flow produced will match the OLGA net flow, but none of the phase flows will exactly
match the OLGA phase flows:
• The phase flow(s) in the wrong direction will be set to zero
• The phase flow(s) in the right direction will be reduced such that the total equals total of
right flows minus total of wrong flows
Maintain dominant flow
If phases flow in different directions, calculate the total flow. The direction of the total flow may
for convenience be termed "right flow". Create a composition with those phases that flow in right
direction and ignore the phase(s) that go the wrong way. Use the OLGA phase flows to determine
the flows of each phase.
The net flow produced will NOT match the OLGA net flow
• The phase flow(s) in the wrong direction will be set to zero
• The phase flow(s) in the right direction will match the OLGA flow
Only keep positive
If phases flow in different directions, the negative flows are ignored. This has the drawback that
you get a continuous positive flow out of the pipe, although according to OLGA that would not be
the case. It may even be so that OLGA models a continuous net negative flow and despite that the
link produces a net positive flow.

Notes
•
•
•
•
The variable listing is determined by the OLGA model input file (*.genkey) and how this
file is read by the link. Any changes to the input file may result in wrongly displayed
profile plots. Thus, it is good practice to re-define plots after any changes to the OLGA
model file
Length of y variables must be equal to the length of x.
To define a plot of a volumetric OLGA variable, e.g. holdup in the pipeline, the parameter
ZZVOL must be exposed in OLGA and set as the x axis.
To define a plot of a boundary OLGA variable, e.g. massflow in the pipeline, the
parameter ZZBOU must be exposed in OLGA and set as the x axis.

TIPS AND TRICKS
The following is only meant as additional typical recommendations, and may not be applicable for
certain OLGA models and scenarios.
6.1 Location of Link interface
A general guideline would be to, if applicable, to position the OLX™ Link such that, if you are
going to close a valve nearby the interface, then the valve is placed in OLGA. The reason for this
is that HYSYS cannot handle flow in two directions simultaneously.
Locating this valve in OLGA will ensure more stable simulations.
It is advised that on the HYSYS side of the OLX™ there exist a holdup volume in the first unit
operation. The larger the volume, the more stable will the OLX™ operation be, since gradients
will be smaller with a large volume compared to a small volume.
6.2 Controllers
It may be recommended to set controllers in auto when simulating interlinked. When using a
controller in HYSYS to control your OLGA CONTROLLER, you can use the SETPOINT
keyword.
If your OLGA controller is set in manual mode, it is the keyword MANUALOUTPUT that should
be used.
6.3 SOURCE Label Names
Below relates to situations where the OLGA genkey file is modified for linking (and not using the
OLGA GUI):
• A SOURCE label should have “ ” around it. E.g. Source Label=”Gaslift” and so should
the connected position e.g. POSITION=”GLV”. If the “ ” are missing, there may be
problems when connecting to the OPC server.

6.4 OLGA parameters recommended to be exposed as SERVERDATA.
OLGA parameters that may be recommended to be exposed as SERVERDATA, and thus made
available via the OLX™ are:
• For flow paths : ZZVOL, PT, TM and HOL.
o These variables are volume based and could be exposed together in one single
SERVERDATA output.
• For the last flow path (closest to the OLX™ Link it is further advised to include the phase
densities : SERVERDATA(ROG, ROL, ROHL and ROWT)
o These variables may be used to check that the PVT definitions in OLGA and
HYSYS are aligned, and thus provides a correct transition of volumetric parameters
as flow rates (since mass flow rates are the parameters that are transferred directly)
• For flow paths : ZZBOU, GT
o These variable are boundary based and must therefore be exposed by adding an
additional SERVERDATA output.
Examples of OLGA genkey calls exposing OLGA output parameters to the OPC Server interface:
SERVERDATA VARIABLE=(GT NoUnit, ZZBOU NoUnit)
SERVERDATA VARIABLE=(HOL NoUnit, PT NoUnit, TM NoUnit, ZZVOL NoUnit)
SERVERDATA VARIABLE=(ACCGAG NoUnit, ACCGAQ NoUnit, ACCGT NoUnit,
ACCLIG NoUnit,ACCLIQ NoUnit, ACCOIG NoUnit, ACCOIQ NoUnit, ACCWAG NoUnit,
ACCWAQ NoUnit)
SERVERDATA VARIABLE=GORST NoUnit
SERVERDATA VARIABLE=(PT, TM, HOL, HOLWT, USLT, USLTHT, USLTWT, USG, GT,
UG, US, TU, EVR, ROG, ROL)
SERVERDATA VARIABLE=(GG, GLTL, GLTWT, QG, QLTHL, QLTWT, HOLTHTOT,
HOLWTOT, DTHYD, YBoU, ZZBOU)
SERVERDATA VARIABLE=(GASC, OILC), BRANCH=…..
If it is required to add more SERVERDATA parameters later on, it is recommended to add
additional SERVERDATA outputs. If you add more variables in an already existing
SERVERDATA, the order of the input/output variables in the Link input/output tab may change.
As a consequence, links to/from the Link’s input/output tab may also be affected. Therefore it is a
good practice to consider in detail what to expose before making spreadsheets and strip charts in
HYSYS with interfaces to the OLX input/output variables.

6.5 General variable exposure
6.6 OLGA parameters recommended to be exposed as EXPOSE.
Potential OLGA input parameters that may be recommended to be exposed as EXPOSE, and thus
made available via the OLX™ are:
OLGA Keyword
CONTROLLER
Description
EXPOSE=SETPOINT
VALVE
EXPOSE=VALVEOP
WELL
EXPOSE =ALL
SOURCE
EXPOSE =ALL
Recommendations may however vary from model to model and case to case.
6.7 Integration
It is recommended to set MAXDT in OLGA to 5 seconds or higher. If this parameter is set to e.g.
1 second you might have some problems starting a simulation.
The general OLGA “advice” would however be that the interval between MINDT and MAXDT
should not be too large. Note also that the effective MAXDT will be governed by the HYSYS
timestep.
6.8 Snapshot files
Start-up from a snapshot file
A snapshot file is created when saving your HYSYS case. It may be recommended to decrease the
step size in HYSYS before saving, to avoid potential challenges when restarting from this
snapshot file at a later stage.
The stability of the case when saving may also effect this. Therefore, if a simulation is to be saved
with large transient instabilities, there may be a need to reduce the time step accordingly.
Recommended values may change from model to model and case to case. BPT has experienced
that a step size of less than 0,1s may be required.
