Thread-topic: Help with simulating cogeneration/trigeneration.

I have been designing a cogeneration/trigeneration system comprising of a SI reciprocating engine driven by natural gas. I'll be utilizing the exhaust heat into a waste heat recovery boiler to raise saturated steam for process steaming, and the heat of the jacket water to obtain cooling through a hot water absorption chiller.

I have designed this system.manually with all the calculations. I intend to now replicate the same system on Trnsys to validate my results.

However, I have been struggling to find the right engine in the library where I could start with the input parameters that relate to both the exhuast and the jacket water. Stuck at this, Im unable to move ahead to the rest of the components because of this.

Any sort of lead would be helpful..

Thanks in advance.
