CADSIM Plus overview

What is CADSIM Plus?

CADSIM Plus is chemical process simulation software that performs precise heat and material balances for any chemical process. It goes beyond steady state simulation to also handle complex dynamic simulations involving control logic, batch operations, online optimization, and more.

With its CAD drawing interface, users can create process flow diagrams that are automatically interpreted into a simulation model. The runtime interface animates the drawings into an interactive simulation tool. As conditions change, the results numbers, strip charts, and tank animations update in real time on the drawing.

Applications span process design, troubleshooting bottlenecks, predicting future operating conditions, reducing energy/material consumption, tracking components, optimizing efficiency, developing control strategies, and reconciling plant data. Industries using CADSIM Plus range from chemical plants to food processing to paper mills to oil refineries.

The software handles specialized modeling like tracking fiber fractions in paper streams, viscosity changes in food batches, and pressure networks for compressor design. The standard library covers common unit operations, with additional optional modules for niche industries. CADSIM Plus runs on 32/64 bit Windows machines, is compatible with CADSIM drawings, and exports results to various CAD formats.
