Interoperability, integration and re-use are the most often met demands from engineering calculation package users. ProSim, the French simulation and optimization software provider, respond to these requests with the Simulis suite, a range of software items built on a component-oriented architecture and using the Microsoft COM/DCOM middleware. Simulis components can be easily integrated into any application that supports this technology (MS Excel, Matlab, C++, Delphi, Fortran.). The Simulis suite objective is to allow the engineer to choose the most reliable and relevant components according to the issues he is working on and to assemble them to create a tailored process simulator.
The first major component is dedicated to thermophysical calculations, the cornerstone of any process engineering application. Simulis Thermodynamics was officially released during last ProSim Users Meeting in December 2004, after integration of beta testers feedback and extensive testing.
This software component was designed to enhance the quality and the reliability of daily chemical engineering calculations by providing access to ProSim's thermodynamic package, widely recognised as one of the most reliable and complete available on the market. While focusing on his core activity, the engineer will use thermophysical functions that are robust and validated through intensive usage in industrial applications.
ProSim's thermodynamic package includes over 300 functions to calculate transfer, thermodynamic and equilibrium properties, a large number of proven models and a standard database of over 1700 pure components. Additional private models and component databases can also be integrated.
Simulis Thermodynamics also provides useful features such as graphical display of properties, experimental data regression, phase envelope curve plotting, petroleum cut properties estimations, etc.
For thermodynamic specialists of a company, Simulis Thermodynamics can be used to fine tune the system's thermodynamic representation and to perpetuate this expertise with easily created "Property Packages" that include all elements needed for further calculations (pure components properties, models, interaction coefficients,...). The "expert" will then be able to dispatch these "Property Packages" throughout the organization in order for them to be used in any CAPE-OPEN compliant software. Thus he ensures that engineers will use consistent, reliable and verified data to run calculation, even though working on different simulation packages.
Simulis Thermodynamics implements the "thermodynamic plug" and "thermodynamic socket", thus providing complete integration capabilities with third-party simulation software that respect the CAPE-OPEN standard. Furthermore, any application that integrates Simulis Thermodynamics automatically inherit its CAPE-OPEN compliance.
Simulis Thermodynamics can be purchased online from ProSim's web site (http://www.prosim.net).
