SFILES 2.0 by

Overview

SFILES 2.0 is an open-source Python package for converting process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) into an extended text-based representation. This package is developed in conjunction with the paper:

SFILES 2.0: An extended text-based flowsheet representation

The repository provides tools for:

• Representing flowsheets as graphs
• Converting graphs to SFILES 2.0 strings and back
• Demonstrating the notation rules, structure, and conversion algorithm for SFILES 2.0
