MICRO bro, what’s the latest version of HTFS (including ACOL)? I work on the design of air-cooled power plants, and I tried to use ACOL to simulate such air-coolers, but encountered many problems; for example, it is not possible to calculate non-circular tube bundles: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-475942-1-1.html ； It’s also difficult to simulate the A-shaped layout: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=475981&page=1&extra= Since I’m learning on my own, I used the only version of HTFS+2006 that I could find; I’m not sure if it’s because the version is too old Is the new version good enough?
HTFS is an older product; it has not been updated since version 2006, and it is about to be phased out. Currently, Aspen Tech’s main product is the EDR (Exchanger Design & Rating) software, which is the renamed version of what was previously known as HTFS+. The V7.1 version is available on the market currently. Versions of HTFS+ after 2006 include 2006.5, V7.0, and V7.1. New versions usually add new features. I no longer have the 2006 version here, so I’m unable to check whether your issue is caused by the version difference. I’ll take a look at it for you using the new version when I have time.
So, Exchanger Design & Rating v7.0 in Aspen v7.0 is an upgraded version of HTFS, right?
