An Introduction to AspenPlus

The main simulation packages employed for Ceng 403 are AspenPlus and HYSYS. Both of these programs can be used to model complicated chemical engineering systems. In Ceng 403, we will focus on the use of the programs to model simple systems with only a few units in each system. This section of the Ceng 403 Home Page provides and introduction to the use of AspenPlus 10 in our PC Laboratory.
