# Scripting

The Scripting Module allows you to make changes to any flowsheet element (node or pipe) via a Pascal (or BASIC)-based scripting language and study the effects of these changes at any other flowsheet element(s). In this way you can study how any flow system behaves at start up, shut down, as conditions change, or study various design scenarios. The effects of changes can be sent to tables, to charts, or exported to other applications. Scripts are attached to each flowsheet and you can access all elements in the flowsheet via the script editor as well as global application objects.
