AVEVA Process Simulation

AVEVA · Process Simulation

AVEVA's modern simulator is the most forward-looking design of the major vendors, with steady-state and dynamics in one model and cloud delivery. Its ecosystem is still catching up.

FIG. 003

Aspen HYSYS

AspenTech · Process Simulation

The benchmark simulator for oil and gas and refining. Its depth and the size of its user community make it the safe default for EPC process teams in hydrocarbons.
