I have a question regarding Aspen and ChemCAD
Thread Content
1. What is the difference between Aspen and ChemCAD? What are their respective characteristics? 2. Which one is more widely used at present? 3. Is learning* one of them sufficient for the petrochemical industry?
Personally, I think that if it is to be used in the petrochemical industry, Pro2 seems to be better. Regarding Aspen and ChemCAD, naturally Aspen has more powerful functions and a larger database, but ChemCAD is easier to learn. If you are a beginner, you can start by using ChemCAD to get an idea of simulation and experience it, but in the end I think it’s better to use Aspen or Pro/2 to deal with actual engineering problems.
ChemCAD is relatively simple; Aspen is recommended
ASPEN is intelligent and used for process simulation in the chemical industry, for large or complex processes; it also features a comprehensive database that is open-access. It and HYSYS are now one company. ChemCad is easy to learn and use; it does not require professional training like AspenPlus. Therefore, it is recommended that beginners use ChemCad, and the software itself is also excellent. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=82294&highlight=aspen%2B%2BchemCAD Check out this link
For beginners, ChemCAD is recommended; Aspen requires professionals to use it effectively!
