A good way to start your process study with CADSIM Plus is to do a steady-state heat and material balance. Soon, you will be ready to add tanks and level control to control makeup in the same manner as the real plant. At this point, the balance is still largely steady-state and can be used Read More …

SmartCalc Performance Accelerator
CADSIM Plus’s SmartCalc™ accelerates both process simulation calculation and results display. SmartCalc manages flowsheet calculations to speed up runtime performance. Calculation times can be an order of magnitude faster than what is possible with any other process simulator. SmartCalc is a combination of more than 10 proprietary technologies that were developed for CADSIM Plus by Read More …
Open Simulation Systems Architecture
A unique Open Simulation Systems Architecture™ (OSSA™) was developed by Aurel to make CADSIM Plus a generic process simulation platform. CADSIM Plus can host different simulator “personalities” for various industry sectors. It is extensible so that anyone with C++ programming skills can include their own custom process modules. And source code is available for purchase for Read More …
Living Drawings
Living Drawings™ technology allows you to create a simulation model by drawing a process flowsheet. Anything that you can draw can be interpreted into a process simulation model by CADSIM Plus. CAD mode: CADSIM Plus includes a CAD interface which allows you to draw a process flowsheet. An expert system has the process “smarts” to Read More …
Stream-based Specifications
In order to understand the concept of stream-based specifications, it is necessary to understand what is meant by the following terms: Specifications are objects with which you input parameters into CADSIM Plus unit modules so that the module can perform the calculations that you require Unit modules are individual pieces of equipment or controls that populate Read More …

Answers to a number of topics that come up when people are considering CADSIM Plus advanced chemical process simulation products: How long does it take to learn to use CADSIM Plus? By doing the CADSIM Plus Tutorial exercises, you can complete your first simple flowsheet balance in just a few hours. In a few days Read More …
Ease of Use
There are three main steps to creating a basic chemical process simulation in CADSIM Plus: Create a process sketch or drawing in Drawing Mode. Define process chemistry, add formats to display results, answer questions to specify flows, reactions and events in the model using Specification Mode. Run and interact with your model and observe the results in Run Read More …
