Is it considered infringement to write an article using Aspen Plus simulations and then publish it?

As the title suggests, writing an article using Aspen Plus simulations – does that constitute copyright infringement when it is published? Thank you all
Not counted! There are still many articles on this topic. Aspen is merely a platform that can be used for research; it can often be verified through experiments and simulations, serving as a complement to various issues or as a means of estimation. The role of simulation software is to partially replace experience, so it remains very necessary.
It shouldn’t be counted! For example: We use API standards in our work – does that constitute infringement?
The paper deals with the use of the Aspen software, and AspenTech will be pleased – it’s a form of free advertising. However, the papers contain information such as the authors’ affiliated institutions, and it is known which institutions have purchased legitimate Aspen software; in this sense, Aspen simulation papers can provide clues for detecting piracy to a certain extent.
It shouldn’t happen, as we haven’t encountered such a situation when writing articles

It might not matter if it’s in Chinese, but if it’s an English-language magazine, you’re likely to receive an email from ASPEN after some time; they will politely ask you about this issue. If you ignore it, things could get troublesome! Others have encountered this before; it’s best not to try. I used to be at South China University of Technology, where they purchased legitimate licenses, so publishing articles there was quite straightforward. Now I’m at Sun Yat-sen University; the purchase contract for V7 hasn’t been signed yet. When I submit English articles now, my boss always insists that a professor from South China University of Technology must be listed as an author!
What was said upstairs makes some sense. If you are writing a paper using AspenPlus and it is in English, be careful; it is best to work at an organization that owns a legitimate license for the software. . . Chinese generally doesn’t cause any problems~
Thank you to everyone above for answering my questions. Since it’s in Chinese, I’m relieved, haha
In Chinese, perhaps no one will pay attention to it, but that’s not the case with foreign languages. In articles written in foreign languages, wherever the word “Aspen” appears, there is usually a TM symbol in the upper right corner. It’s also best to avoid using the word “Aspen” in the abstracts and keywords of Chinese articles
General magazines attract fewer readers; for high-level magazines, it’s important to ensure that your software is legitimate, as there are many people who specialize in anti-piracy efforts targeting companies and organizations. If you have a legitimate license, feel free to use it – the software manufacturer will be happy.
Then it will be troublesome for me to publish an article in English, sigh. . . . . . .
