Since its release, late 2004, Simulis Thermodynamics is undergoing intensive testing by the CO-LaN (CAPE-OPEN Laboratories Network - www.colan.org) and by major actors of the process simulation field. Simulis Thermodynamics is a thermophysical properties calculation server available as an MS-Excel® add-in, a MATLAB® toolbox or as a module pluggable in any other software that requires quality thermophysical properties.
The tests focus, to a large extent, on the ability to plug Simulis Thermodynamics in other simulation packages intended for wider fields of application (equipment sizing, system modeling, etc). These packages would then benefit, through the CAPE-OPEN standard, from the quality and the reliability of the thermodynamics provided in Simulis Thermodynamics.
Simulis Thermodynamics allows the user to generate "Property Packages" that can be used with CAPE-OPEN compliant applications (Thermodynamic Plug). This functionality has been successfully tested in Aspen Plus (Aspen Plus 2004 and v12.1), Aspen Hysys 2004 and v3.2 (AspenTech), PRO/II v7.1 (SimSci-Esscor), gPROMS® (PSE) and XIST (HTRI). Additional testing in VALI (Belsim) and INDISS (RSI) are scheduled.
Simulis Thermodynamics also has the capability to use a thermodynamic model generated by a third party application (Thermodynamic Socket). Tests have demonstrated that Simulis Thermodynamics can already handle the packages from Multiflash (Infochem), PPDS (TUV-NEL) and Aspen Properties (AspenTech).
Simulis Thermodynamics is, to date, one of the few software that provides such level of integration capabilities and CAPE-OPEN compliance. It naturally becomes the reference in this field, even more as any application that integrates Simulis Thermodynamics automatically benefits from its CAPE-OPEN compliance.
With these significant successes, ProSim confirms once again its ability to develop leading edge software that respond to industries requirements.
