Expanding Process Modelling Capability
through Software Interoperability Standards

At the Global CAPE-OPEN project (GCO) final meeting in Cambridge in December, 2001, Malcolm Woodman from BP demonstrated CAPE-OPEN interoperability, using Aspen Plus from AspenTech, HYSYS.Plant from Hyprotech, gPROMS from PSE and Multiflash from Infochem. This was a very significant event, since it was the proof that someone from an operating company was able to use CAPE-OPEN "plug and play" interoperability working with commercial simulators and tools. All of the software used is available from the suppliers, provided, of course, you have the respective licenses. The demonstration shows the enormous progress that has been made by GCO in developing comprehensive and unambiguous specifications, and by software suppliers in making the use of CAPE-OPEN components in their simulators convenient and reliable.

Additionally you can access the interoperability demonstrations that were given on the Global CAPE-OPEN mid-term meeting in Amsterdam November 2000.
