Welcome to ChE Links from Dr.
Bernhard Spang. Dr. Spang has brought this extensive collection of chemical
engineering links from his site at About.com. We're happy to have this collection
now available on The Chemical Engineers' Resource Page.
ASCEND IV
A free, equation-based environment for process modeling. Includes an object-oriented model-description language. Released under GNU for Windows and UNIX platforms.
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~ascend/
Aspen DynamicsTM
Integrated steady-state and dynamic process simulator based on Aspen Plus and Aspen Custom Modeler.
http://www.aspentech.com/products/aspen-dynamics.cfm
Aspen Plus(R)
Information about this standard process simulation package for steady-state modeling from the supplier.
http://www.aspentech.com/products/aspen-plus.cfm
CHEMCAD
Chemstations' PC-based general purpose process simulation program.
http://www.chemstations.net/
Chemical Workbench
Package of integrated chemical reactor simulation tools for Windows 95/NT from Kinetic Technologies, Russia. A PowerPoint presentation of the program (3.8 MB) can be downloaded after completing a form
http://www.kintech.ru/cgi/content/contentTT.pl?tmpl=chapter&id=1022680577&pid=1022677114
COCO Simulator
Free-of-charge CAPE-OPEN compliant steady-state simulation environment for Windows XP or higher.
http://cocosimulator.org/
DESIGN II for Windows
WinSim's general-purpose process simulator developed specifically for MS Windows platforms. The full package is available free for download but you must register to get a 2 week password.
http://www.winsim.com/
EMSO
Computer Aided Process Engineering (CAPE) tool for dynamic and steady-state modeling, simulation and optimization of general processes, available for Win32 and Linux.
http://www.vrtech.com.br/rps/emso.html
Flowsheeting on the World Wide Web
Report about a system that provides "flowsheeting", i.e. mass and energy balance computation, across the WWW. A VRML viewer (e.g. Live3D integrated in Netscape Navigator) is required to see the generated flowsheet.
http://www.chemeng.ed.ac.uk/people/jack/research/webnote/note.html
Kemsimp
Somewhat limited and awkward to use MS-DOS program for chemical process material balance simulation and parameter optimization. But it's free. 240 kB to download.
http://members.tripod.com/~kemisoft/prosfree.html
LIBPF
LIBrary for Process Flowsheeting in C++, offers product brochures, white papers and demos.
http://www.libpf.com/
OpSim
Project for the development of an open source based chemical engineering process simulator with user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) and underlying high performance simulation engine; discussions related to this project can be found at http://groups.google.com/group/opsim.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opsim/
PD-Plus
PC-based program from Prode for simulating chemical processes.
http://www.prode.com/en/pdpint.htm
ProMax
General hydrocarbon process simulator from Bryan Research & Engineering for DOS/Windows based PC's and UNIX systems.
http://www.bre.com/
ProSimPlus
Process simulation software for process design, optimization, troubleshooting, debottlenecking, revamping or sensitivity analysis. Not related to BR&E's PROSIM. Site requires Macromedia Flash Player.
http://www.prosim.net/en/modeling/prosimplus.html
Quick Hydraulics for Windows
Flowsheet simulation plus hydraulic pressure drop calculation for Windows 3.1 and higher from Chempute Software. Lacks some of the features of other process simulators for the benefit of lower cost. Restricted demo (2.7 MB) available.
http://www.chempute.com/quickhy.htm
Software Tools for Process Integration
An independent list of process simulation tools from Aspen Plus to Supertarget. For each program there are a short description, product specification, and user experience evaluations.
http://www.technology.novem.nl/en/processtools/
SuperPro Designer
Process simulation program for MS Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, and 2000 platforms from Intelligen. Includes equipment sizing and costing. Demo can be downloaded and is fully functional except for the ability to save the designs.
