Aspen HYSYS® - An Introduction

ⒸAspen HYSYS®

Aspen HYSYS® is an easy to use process modeling environment that enables optimization of conceptual design and operations.It has a broad array of features and functionalities that address the process engineering challenges of chemical industry. 

It is easy to find reference manuals (one important book by Michael E. Hanyak, Jr. is available here to download) to get start with Aspen HYSYS® in the world wide web, so here in this blog I'm not going to post any beginner level of posts,  where as some videos according to those reference manuals will post in coming weeks - its better to watch Aspen HYSYS® in action rather than reading them in manuals, I think.

About The Program

The primary goal of any simulation software like Aspen HYSYS® is that to provide us with the capability to design an entire process as completely and accurately as possible. In that sense Aspen HYSYS® user interface is amazing to minimize our effort. The advantage of any simulation engine is that, it allow us to change operating parameters of the process during any stage of simulation without affecting the progress of simulation. In HYSYS® - unlike other simulation engine, it start to calculate various parameters of the process as we start to enter the data, whereas simulation engine like Aspen PLUS® wait till the required input completion and then only start the simulation process.
