NAG Fortran Builder 5.2

March 5, 2012

Using NAG Fortran Builder 5.2, computational chemists working on Gaussian and GAMESS and other quantum chemistry code development can gain speed, accuracy and portability for their Fortran code. By comparison, many competing products sacrifice accuracy, standards conformance and portability in exchange for speed. Among its many features, this product offers rapid run-time checking, procedure interface checking across multiple files, undefined variable trapping, memory leak detection, and more.

Mathcad 15.0 engineering calculation software

March 5, 2012

The Mathcad 15.0 engineering calculation software is designed to enhance personal and process productivity during product development and engineering design. The product’s visual format and scratchpad interface allow engineers to integrate live, standard mathematical notations, text and graphs in a single worksheet, making Mathcad ideal for not just carrying out calculations, but for knowledge capture and engineering collaboration, too. The program is easy to learn and requires no special programming skills.

Batteries & Fuel Cells Module

March 5, 2012

The Batteries & Fuel Cells Module is the latest addition to this company’s Multiphysics modeling and simulation environment. It provides a full set of easy-to-use tools for the set-up, simulation and study of all major electrochemical batteries and fuel cells, including lithium-ion batteries, nickel metal-hydride batteries, solid oxide fuel cells, and proton-exchange membrane fuel cells.

gPROMS Version 3.3

March 5, 2012

Version 3.3 of the gPROMS advanced process modeling (APM) software provides high-fidelity predictive process modeling for process engineers. The latest version contains improved productivity features that help the user to quickly obtain initial solutions for complex processes such as coupled reactions and distillation flowsheets. Special features help facilities to protect the intellectual property embodied in their models so that they may be distributed securely within and outside the organization.

Safer Chemical Events Analysis System (Safer CEAS)

March 5, 2012

The Safer Chemical Events Analysis System (Safer CEAS) is a hazard-analysis and risk-assessment solution that helps users to analyze potential hazards presented by toxic, flammable, and explosive chemicals. Chemical and environmental engineers can model and analyze complex “what-if” questions and potential release scenarios and perform process hazard analysis (PHA) to enhance process safety. This tool provides essential insight for not only safer plant operation, but for emergency planning and response as well.

EHS Management Assistant

March 5, 2012

The EHS Management Assistant is a Web-based solution that automates the tracking of all critical tasks associated with a facility’s environmental, health and safety (EHS) program. Email alerts notify responsible parties of upcoming and overdue deadlines, and a central database tracks their completion. The company’s EHS experts customize the solution for each customer, adapting it to the facility’s organizational structure to ensure seamless integration. The Web-based compliance dashboard provides instant access to compliance status and relevant statistics.

Alph Version 1.4

March 5, 2012

With the release of Version 1.4 of Alph, a fluid property and process calculator for the Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, users can easily copy and paste variables and modeling tools and build sub-flowsheets within the tool. The program enables calculations related to heat exchanger balances, stoichiometric reactions, polytropic compressors, single or multiple material recycle processes, and refrigeration processes. The new copy-and-paste capabilities let users create their own library of frequently used calculations, which they can then paste into new studies, as needed.

SimSci-Esscor PIPEPHASE 9.4 software

March 5, 2012

Using the SimSci-Esscor PIPEPHASE 9.4 software, engineers can create a unified petroleum well profile by linking subsurface wellbore information and tubing connections with custom data entry of well depths. By integrating with GEM, a leading reservoir-simulation software application from Computer Modeling Group, PIPE-PHASE 9.4 lets users model steady-state, multiphase flow in oil-and-gas reservoirs and pipeline systems, and simulate CO2 sequestration and oil recovery from depleted fields.

Ariel Multilingual Exposure Scenario (ES) Phrase Library

March 5, 2012

The Ariel Multilingual Exposure Scenario (ES) Phrase Library lets users create the exposure scenarios that are needed as part of the European Safety Data Sheets (ESDS). Available as either a standalone MS Access database or SAP EHS-formatted import files, the library contains the full set of phrases from the European Phrase Catalogue EuPhraC Version 1.1, which is a widely accepted industry standard.

Plasma Module

March 5, 2012

By combining modeling capabilities related to fluid mechanics, reaction engineering, physical kinetics, heat transfer, mass transfer and electro-magnetics, the Plasma Module lets users model low-temperature, non-equilibrium plasma discharges in a range of engineering disciplines, including light sources, semiconductor processes, surface coating, and medical sterilization applications. Modeling the interaction between the plasma and an external electrical circuit is an important part of understanding the electrical characteristics of the discharge.
