CHEMCAD overview

What is CHEMCAD?

Chemcad is a chemical management software that helps businesses simulate processes, create flow diagrams, manage equipment sizing, generate charts, and more on a centralized platform. It allows chemical engineers to utilize the palette pane to access unit operations and symbols via a drag-and-drop interface.

Chemcad's thermophysical property calculator enables staff members to analyze component families and manage data regression across pure components and binary interaction parameters. The process development module allows users to create fitting reaction kinetics from experimental data and run direct lab experiments and pilot plans from within a unified platform. It also provides a troubleshooting tool, which lets professionals manage distillation with a mass transfer calculator.

Chemcad enables business leaders to generate reports to gain insights into equipment costing, process safety, heat balance, and regulatory compliance. It also lets organizations integrate the platform with several third-party solutions, such as Excel, Microsoft Visual Basic, and more.

Cons
“Furthermore, in case of any errors or unexpected results, you have to sort out for the problems manually as the program won’t do itself.”

Chemical Engineer

“In my simulations, the program sometimes gives very illogical errors and this affects the reliability of my result. The database needs to be updated and developed.”

Deniz Y.

Student

“It can be difficult to learn, and some people fell behind throughout the semester. Unfortunately, there may not be much that can be done about this.”
