What is the difference between aspen plus and aspen hysys?
Thread Content
hysys used to be a software alongside aspen, but was later acquired by aspen. I know that hysys has advantages in dynamic simulation, but what about other things? Why are both aspen plus and aspen hysys placed there in aspen v7 now? What is the difference between the two? I also saw that there is a segment of video that uses aspen hysys for pinch calculation. Aspen plus can’t do it. Does that mean that aspen hysys has more functions than aspen plus? I'm quite confused. Can anyone please explain it? Thank you.
Both have their own focuses. Hysys focuses on dynamic simulation, while Plus focuses on static simulation. Hx-net in Aspen can also perform pinch calculations.
Correct answer on Floor 2: In fact, HYSYS is not a true dynamic simulation.
In fact, the two used to be competitors, and each had its own user base. It seems that the industrial fields in which each is dominant are different. This seems to have been commented on the forum. Now it has become one company, but the two product lines are still developing in parallel, probably because they take into account different users. * Habits and areas of focus of the two software are different. Personally, I feel that HYSYS is easier to use. ASPEN is a bit more academic.
I also have a question. If Aspen is used for dynamic simulation, is it better to use dynamic or hysys?
It is better to use HYSYS when driving and parking.
