The main software package employed for CENG 403 is AspenPlus, which is a modeling program for chemical-engineering systems. Aspen is a very complicated program, allowing the user to model precisely a wide variety of systems. This section of the CENG 403 Home Page provides an introduction on how to use Aspen so that more time may be spent working on CENG 403 projects than fighting with Aspen.
