Overview

gO:CAPE-OPEN within the gPROMS v3.0 familyDemonstrationsgPROMS and CAPE-OPEN – other developments


gPROMS product family


gO:CAPE-OPEN overview

Introduce advanced gPROMS models within CAPE-OPEN compliant steady-state flowsheeting packages e.g.− ASPEN PLUS™− PRO/II™

Consistent physical properties used throughoutNo programming required− retain advantages of gPROMS-based modelling


Demonstrations

The gPROMS Unit in PRO/II, Aspen+ etc.


Loading ModelBuilder CAPE-OPEN library


Loading/Creating Mixer Model

Material and Energy balances


Defining inlet and outlet ports

gPROMSsupports CAPE-OPEN

Material Object


Launching the CAPE-OPEN export

No need to change model for CAPE-

OPEN exportation


Specifying the target directory for gCO file


Defining ports and parameters settings

Ports connection may be mandatory or

not


Parameter default settings


Crypting the gCO file

Encrypting the gCOfile enables

deployment to other parties and ensures

consistency


Running gPROMS Mixer model in PRO/II


PRO/II 7.1 process model

This native mixer model will be replaced by a

gPROMS Mixer model


Native PRO/II mixer model output

Since gPROMSmixer model

involves basic material and

energy balances, results with PRO/II native mixer and gPROMS mixer should be strictly

the same


Deleting native PRO/II mixer


Adding a CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation

PRO/II allows for CAPE-

OPEN UNIT Operations to be inserted in

any PRO/II process model

through the palette


Selecting go:CAPE-OPEN UNIT Operation

PRO/II lists all CAPE-OPEN UNIT ops available on the current

machine

gO:CAPE-OPEN asks for the gCO file to be used within the

gO:CAPE-OPEN wrapper


Connecting streams to CO UNIT ports

Streams are connected to the gPROMS

UNIT just as to any native PRO/II unit operation


Displaying parameter values

gO:CAPE-OPEN GUI is automatically displayed by

PRO/II to access

parameters


Setting energy input to zero


Changing pressure drop to zero


Running and reaching convergence

After a few iterations,

convergence is achieved


gPROMS Mixer output results

Results obtained are strictly the same

as with native PRO/II mixer model


Deploying gCO file to another laptop

Running gPROMS model in Aspen PlusRunning gPROMS model in Aspen Plus



HDA Process model in Aspen Plus 12.1

This is the native mixer to be

replaced by the gPROMS mixer


Native Aspen Plus Mixer output results



energy balances, results with Aspen Plus native mixer

and gPROMSmixer should be strictly the same

gPROMS and CAPE-OPEN Other developments

gPROMS CAPE-OPEN Thermo Socket now in regular use with:− ASPEN Properties™− Multiflash™

gPROMS CAPE-OPEN Unit socket under development− support both local and remote execution of units− being developed under VPDM project

Dynamic Units now under consideration− CAPE-OPEN standard being extended to dynamics− emphasis on “modular” dynamic simulation tools− leverage gPROMS experience with Honeywell’s Shadow Plant
