CADSIM Plus v2.7

Aurel Systems is pleased to announce that CADSIM Plus v2.7, our premier chemical process simulation tool, is now available. Upgrades from previous versions of CADSIM Plus are now available for purchase. Contact Aurel for more information.

CADSIM Plus is a third-generation process modeling tool which features an advanced drawing and modeling interface. CADSIM Plus combines the power of CAD drawing with the ease-of-use of today's technical diagramming tools.

Chemical Reactions

  • A new mechanism for modeling chemical reactions allows multiple reactions to be contained in a single specification icon that is placed on the unit to eliminate specification clutter. Reactions are presented to users as equations with some parameters available for tuning at runtime. User-defined reactions equations can be edited. Selected process units (such as O2DELIG, D STAGE, E STAGE and EOP STAGE modules in the optional Fiber Library) have suggested, built-in reactions that can be used.

New Modules

Fiber Library (optional - includes new bleach plant example simulation)

  • New O2 delignification module
  • New D STAGE bleaching modules
  • New E STAGE bleaching modules
  • New EOP STAGE bleaching module
  • New PAPER DRYER module
  • New PULPER module

Power Library (optional)

  • New DESUPERCALC de-super heat calculation module

Standard Library

  • New Differential Evolution Optimization module
  • New STATISTICS module

Improved Modules

Standard Library

  • Improved TOWER module (new product tracking abilities)
  • Improved HIGH DENSITY STORAGE module (new product tracking abilities)

Power Library (optional)

  • Improved BURNER module (new efficiency calculations)

Process Optimization

  • A new Differential Evolution optimization module has been added to the Standard Library of process modules.
  • The CADSIM external optimizer (which can launch CADSIM Plus and run it remotely to perform a variety of optimization tasks) has been improved with a new keyword-based configuration file and new Differential Evolution optimization methods.

Dynamic Data Reconciliation

  • Improved options for solving and controlling Dynamic Data Reconciliation models

Miscellaneous Improvements

  • New Find End of Line utility allows you to automatically locate either end of a selected process line in drawing mode and in simulation mode
  • New Go To Coordinates utility helps you locate the cause of runtime error messages
  • New built-in Update from Web function allows easier location and installation of program updates
  • New zooming and panning functions allow the use the scroll wheel on the mouse to pan and zoom the drawing
  • Lock aspect ratio when inserting parts makes it easier to maintain the parts original height to width ratio when scaling a part
  • Customizable On/Off dialog box allows you to add keywords to customize the runtime labels of the MOMENTARY on/off switch
