Aurel Systems is pleased to announce that CADSIM Plus v3.1, 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.

• OPC HDA (supported via customized launchers)
• Launch a copy of a simulation with a process snapshot
• New objective function types:
  • Cauchy
  • Logistic
