Can Aspen, just like Chemcad, automatically generate simulation curves upon completion of the simulation?
Thread Content
After the simulation calculations are completed, ChemCAD automatically generates time curves (such as mole fraction versus time curves), can Aspen Plus do the same? If it works, how?
This needs to be done manually on the result page.
Poster: 1) Aspen Plus is a steady-state simulation software; its variables are independent of time, so... 2) All software is merely a tool – it cannot solve all of your problems
The key to love lies in the operator’s proficiency in using the software, I guess. If you are very familiar with this software, you can use it to do many things and obtain a lot of data. It’s a shame; I haven’t reached that level yet :'( :'(
Curves related to time should be for dynamic simulation, right? ASPNE PLUS is used for steady-state analysis; it should be possible to use HYSYS modules for this purpose, though I don’t know how yet. However, PLUS also has a very powerful graphing function – you can select data from the result table and use it as X and Y values to create graphs
It can be done by oneself based on sensitivity analysis
Aspen does have a module called Dynamic, which can be used for dynamic simulations
You need to learn everything on your own first; ask questions only when you encounter something you don’t understand. Don’t start asking questions before you even begin, because even if someone explains it to you, you might not necessarily grasp it. Moreover, some things cannot be explained clearly in just a few words
