Can distillation column cascading be implemented in Aspen? Do those who take leave have any examples?

In ASPEN PLUS, for complex towers, it is possible to specify the connections between different materials on various trays within the tower; other functions are also available, such as DESIGN SPEC. Of course, when external subroutines in ACM or FORTRAN are used, even more powerful capabilities are available – it is possible to establish connections within a single tower as well as between multiple towers, and complex expressions can be utilized. For more details, refer to the ASPEN PLUS user guide, which covers topics such as accessing process variables and using external and internal FORTRAN subroutines.
