To enable the :ref:`calculation.service` offered by Wood InsightsPlatform (WIP), you must perform a number of configurations under :menuselection:`Configuration --> Calculation`.

This involves the following:

1. You can optionally create :term:`function block templates<Function Block Template>`, which can then be reused across different flowsheets. For more information, see :ref:`conf.calc.funcblocktemp`.
2. You set up :ref:`flowsheets <flowsheet>` in the Flowsheet Manager to design and manage the calculation architecture. For more information, see :ref:`conf.calc.flowsheet`.
3. You set up scheduled jobs that trigger the calculation cycle and execute the flowsheets. For more information, see :ref:`conf.calc.flowsheet.sched`.

If you want to see detailed information about the intermediate calculations performed during calculation cycles, you can use the Calculation Cycle Inspector. For more information, see :ref:`conf.calc.inspector`.
