Multi-phase dispatching
Allow multiple phases in dispatching file: set-up, steady-flow and tear-down
Typically, it takes some iterations for a plant to get to its steady flow, lets call this the set-up phase. The same applies for tearing down the plant form its steady-flow. As specifier you want to be able to model these phases and optionally provide a certain amount iterations for the steady-flow to be performed. This allows the specifier:
To easily generate a schedule for a longer period To automatically calculate the throughput of a plant in steady-flow
