Generic TESPy GUI

[rafaelmarqferreira]

Hey there,
As of last year, I've tried building a GUI with TESPy as the backend solver for a specific case study for a heat pump project, which was concluded with success. Post that conclusion, it got me thinking of trying to build a generic for any sort of TESPy network, which currently materializes in the script depicted in the images below. A test network json file has also been put in this post as an example network, which also shows one of the goals of this GUI: enabling the sizing of heat transfer area necessary for a specific heat exchanger (currently only supporting brazed plate heat exchangers).
So what is this the goal of this post? Well, I'm here to show the current state of this GUI and to also ask for help with contributions and/or testing, seeing as my coding abilities are extremely limited (a lot of prompting was done).

If anyone's interested in helping feel free to comment or email me at rferreira@inegi.up.pt.
Cheers

Hi @rafaelmarqferreira,

thank you very much for reaching out, and a really cool idea. I have also long thought about graphical user interfaces, never found the time to work on that, but I would like to start something into this direction soon since I just completed a longer lasting project... :). I will be out of office for a bit and send you an email after my return!

Thank you :)
