AspenTech and CAPE-OPEN
AspenTech has been involved in the definition of the CAPE-OPEN
standard from the beginning and continues to work actively with the
CO-LaN (CAPE-OPEN Laboratories Network) organization which now
maintains the standard. AspenTech is an Associate Member of
CO-LaN.
AspenTech supports the CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation and
Thermodynamics standards in its flagship simulation products Aspen
Plus V7 and Aspen HYSYS V7. The CAPE-OPEN standard makes it
possible to develop Unit Operations and Thermodynamics Packages
that can be used by these AspenTech simulation products and by any
other CAPE-OPEN compliant Simulation tool. AspenTech has developed
Wizard-style tools to help develop these types of software
component more efficiently and both tools are available for
download from this page.
The CAPE-OPEN Laboratories Network Website:
Use the CAPE-OPEN Thermo Wizard downloadable from www.CO-LaN.org to create CAPE-OPEN
compliant Thermodynamic Packages.
