Aspen Process Engineering Console

Framework for a best-practice integrated engineering workflow

Aspen Process Engineering Console improves your workflow and enables best practices by facilitating data sharing between AspenTech engineering tools and by organizing data associated with a project. Users can launch applications, create and run simulations, analyze costs and equipment designs, and manage projects—all from a single view. Aspen Process Engineering Console is a core element of AspenTech's aspenONE™ Process Engineering applications.

Features

Properties Setup, using Aspen Properties or Aspen HYSYS.
Process Simulation, using Aspen Plus or Aspen HYSYS.
Economic Analysis, using Aspen Process Economic Analyzer.
Equipment Design, using Aspen Heat Exchanger Design and Rating tools.
Energy Analysis, using heat integration (pinch) tools
Flare System Analysis, using Aspen Flare Analysis.
Simulation Workbook, using Aspen Simulation Workbook to collect and process data from the models in this project.

Aspen Process Engineering Console automates the flow of data between applications. It takes the guesswork out of your workflow and between disciplines by activating icons only when sufficient data is available for performing those tasks. It also improves productivity by enabling you to efficiently extract sets of data for further action.

Aspen Process Engineering Console stores data in projects. A project may contain a number of cases, with each case including:

A centralized set of physical property definition files
Equipment models (e.g., heat exchangers)
Simulation case files
Analysis files (energy analysis, flare analysis, economic analysis, etc.)

These files can be viewed in a case-by-case grouping or by activity type. In addition, Aspen Process Engineering Console organizes your projects in a folder structure, making it easier to keep related files together. It can also archive the data into a single portable file, making it easy to share with colleagues by email, over a network, or in the context of a document management system.
