Process simulation software

Invensys Operations Management has released the newest version of its SimSci-Esscor PRO/II software, a steady-state process simulator used to design, analyse and improve chemical processes. In addition to the numerous enhancements that address the emerging needs of the hydrocarbon and chemicals processing industries, this version is easier to use, faster and more flexible.

PRO/II 8.3 software now features a customisable language module that allows the graphical user interface, error messages and warning messages to be viewed in many languages, starting with Japanese. Support for other languages will follow.

The simulation software also includes features that have been previously available only by keyword from the graphical user interface, extending its functionality to all users. There are also numerous thermodynamic upgrades and enhancements for CAPE-OPEN compliance.

An upgraded version of the SIM4ME Portal and Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software interface are also included, enabling users to link and pass information between PRO/II simulations or between PRO/II and Pipephase simulations. The interface also allows users to build and run case studies directly from the Excel software without opening the simulations.
