CADSIM Plus
CADSIM Plus is a chemical process simulation software that combines a first-principles dynamic simulator with a full-featured Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD) front-end in one package. It performs precise heat and material balances for any chemical process and can develop complex dynamic simulations with control logic and batch operations. The software includes a comprehensive set of generic process modules and offers optional module libraries for various applications. CADSIM Plus supports any level of drawing complexity, from simple block diagrams to detailed engineering drawings, and allows exporting drawings to AutoCAD and other standard CAD programs. Its 'electronic flowsheet' runtime simulation mode interface enables interactive and animated simulation tools, where users can change conditions while the simulated process is running. Applications of CADSIM Plus include process design, troubleshooting, prediction of future process conditions, and solutions to dynamic control.
