PID Innovation Optimizes Test Performance Time
LOOP-PRO Version 5 is a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller tuner that uses the manufacturer’s non-steady-state (NSS) modeling innovation to handle a broader range of processes than other diagnostic and optimization software tools. It eliminates the requirement of steady-state operation prior to the performance of process “bump” tests so that users no longer need to wait extended periods for processes to settle out, minimizing ongoing production disruption.

Asset Management Release Integrates Functions
AspenONE Version 7 brings together simulation, equipment design and economic analysis, allowing integrated conceptual engineering workflow through one user interface. Its patented master data model (MDM) enables process manufacturers to effectively manage assets from design through operations stages of the product lifecycle. It offers an integration of both equation-oriented and sequential modular approaches to simulation, which is especially useful for the energy sector.

Upgrade Boosts Speed of FEA Tasks
ALGOR Version 22 finite element analysis (FEA) software has upgraded its modeling, simulation, and results evaluation and presentation features. Its expanded support for 64-bit systems allows users to handle larger models faster than before. Its multifrontal massively parallel solver (MUMPS) quickly solves linear and nonlinear stress and fluid-flow models
