AspenTech and CAPE-OPEN
AspenTech has been involved in the definition of the CAPE-OPEN standard from the beginning and continues to work actively with the CO-LaN (CAPE-OPEN Laboratories Network) organization which now maintains the standard. AspenTech is an Associate Member of CO-LaN.
AspenTech supports the CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation and Thermodynamics standards in its flagship simulation products Aspen Plus 2006.5 and Aspen HYSYS 2006.5. The CAPE-OPEN standard makes it possible to develop Unit Operations and Thermodynamics Packages that can be used by these AspenTech simulation products and by any other CAPE-OPEN compliant Simulation tool. AspenTech has developed Wizard-style tools to help develop these types of software component more efficiently and both tools are available for download from this page.
