Engineering Equation Solver (EES)

EES is software that can be used to solve coupled non-linear equations, access thermodynamic property data, and create plots and tables for parametric studies of engineering systems. It is hosted on an MIT server and can be accessed through Citrix Workspace using MIT credentials. To use EES, students should download Citrix Workspace, log in to access the Athena domain, launch EES from the dashboard or search, and save files to the local Dropbox folder. Troubleshooting may be needed if EES is not visible after logging in due to potential permission issues.

Motivation

EES (pronounced 'ease') is a software we will be using for some Homework's


in this class. The software lends itself to solving coupled non-linear equations
requiring thermodynamic data (think steam tables, Cp values, etc.). A few
strengths of EES are:

• Access thermodynamic and transport property data for many


engineering fluids.
• Solving simultaneous non-linear equations (and you can enter them in
any order while writing the program!)
• Plot graphs, create tables - good for parametric studies of reasonably
complex systems.

The official distribution and documentation of the software is maintained

EES Installation

EES can be downloaded and run on a Windows machine. Unfortunately, MIT


stopped this form of licensing mid-2017.

If you have access to an EES license, you are welcome to use it on your
Windows computer.

If not, please follow the instructions shared here. Those are also applicable
to Mac and Linux users.

EES using Citrix Workspace

EES only works well in a Windows environment. All users can access EES
hosted on an MIT server, as follows:

1. Download and install the Citrix Workspace through MIT IS&T:


https://ist.mit.edu/citrix/all

2. Launch the Citrix Workspace and login using your Kerberos credentials to access
the Athena domain.

3. From the dashboard, you should see EES, or you can search for it. When you click
on it, it will launch within the Citrix Workspace. If you don’t see EES after logging
in, refer to Troubleshooting on the next slide.

4. Saving files: Save to the local Dropbox folder on your machine.

Troubleshooting

The most common issue some of you might face is not seeing EES after
logging into the server using Citrix. This is likely a permissions problem
which we can address if you indicate as much in the Google sheet above.
