Which simulation software is better, ASPEN or PRO II?
Thread Content
I plan to do a factory process simulation and parameter optimization. But after reading a lot of instructions on ASPEN and PRO II, I still can’t figure out the difference between the two softwares. If you plan to do factory process simulation and parameter optimization selection, which of these two software is better? Thank you!
Your question is so general that it's hard to answer. . . . It can only be said that each has its own advantages. The interface of pro ii is relatively better and easy to use. It is widely used in the field of oil refining. Aspen has stricter conditions of use than pro ii. It must be done within the specified conditions. There is little room for modification, but it has a wider application field than pro ii. To put it bluntly, their essence is the same. In the end, the knowledge is about thermodynamics.
Thank you upstairs! I plan to make a workshop process. I hope that the final product will look more intuitive, like a 3D simulation, and the data parameters can be input easily and can also intuitively reflect the effect of the modification.
If the simulation you want to imitate is a refinery process, I suggest you use PRO2. If it is a general chemical plant or polymerization plant, I will still use ASPEN. I have made a suite for the EG process myself, and the results are about 98% accurate with the on-site ones.
Oh, I work in a general chemical factory. I have seen many video introductions to the workshop process on the Internet. They are very vivid and reflect how the workshop operates. Can ASPEN do this? The one I am learning now is Em-plant simulation software, but this seems not ideal.
Everyone has their own strengths, the key is to look at the person. Only if you know how to use it can your calculations be accurate. If you don't know how to use it, it may be counterproductive.
