Dissemination activities
This page lists the dissemination actions conducted by CO-LaN since the creation of the organization. The actions have been especially
focused on several series of well-attended conferences including the AIChE Annual Meetings in the US, the ESCAPE (European Symposium on Computer-Aided Process Engineering), ECCE (European Congress of
Chemical Engineering) and ICheaP series in Europe. CO-LaN has organized as well its own series of CAPE-OPEN European and US Conferences.
Links to the actual material used for dissemination are provided when such material is available for public release.

September: Article in NPT
Procestechnologie, The Netherlands
The September 2006 issue of
NPT Procestechnologie carries from page
22 to 24 an article titled "Cross
Platform Modeling of Chemical Processes with
CAPE-OPEN". It is co-signed by Richard
Baur from Shell Global Solutions
International bv, by Jasper van Baten from
AmsterCHEM, by Harry Kooijman from Shell
Global Solutions International bv and by
Werner Drewitz from BASF AG. It describes
applications of CAPE-OPEN technology.
November 16-17:
3rd CAPE-OPEN US Conference
2005
February: Article in NPT
Procestechnologie, The Netherlands
The February 2005 issue of
NPT Procestechnologie carries from page
11 to 13 an article titled
"Breakthrough in process simulations through
CAPE-OPEN interoperability standard". It
is co-signed by several CO-LaN Full Members
representatives. Contents: development
of the CAPE-OPEN standard, brief description
of the CAPE-OPEN technology, presentation of
industrial applications, organisation and
objectives of the CAPE-OPEN Laboratories
Network.
March 14-15: PSE
User Meeting, London, UK
Ben KEEPING, Principal Software
Consultant at
Process Systems Enterprise (PSE) and
Michel PONS, Chief Technology Officer at
CO-LaN, demonstrated the "Export to
CAPE-OPEN" functionality embedded in the new
gPROMS 3.0 version that will be coming out
next August. gPROMS is well known in the
CAPE community as a powerful modelling tool.
PSE is now offering an automatic export of a
steady-state Unit Operation model to the
format of a CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation. In
order to demonstrate the capability, a
simple Mixer model was developed in gPROMS
ModelBuilder, then automatically exported
and subsequently used in complex process
models built with Aspen Plus 12.1, PRO/II
7.1 and Aspen HYSYS 2004. Absolutely no
recoding was necessary, demonstrating the
power of CAPE-OPEN technology.
Snapshots of the live demos have been
captured for your information.
PSE announced also the development
of a CAPE-OPEN UNIT socket in gPROMS as a
part of the Virtual Plant Demonstration
project (VPDM)
project, funded by the British government.
Through this socket it will be possible to
plug in gPROMS 3rd-party CAPE-OPEN UNIT
operations and to run them as a part of a
process model created with the flowsheeting
capabilities of gPROMS.
Michel PONS mentioned also recent
interoperability results obtained between
the SIMULIS Thermodynamics software (from
ProSim SA) and gPROMS. gPROMS
has been providing a CAPE-OPEN Thermo socket
since version 2.2. So far it has been mostly
used with Property Packages exported from
Aspen Plus (supplier
AspenTech) or with Multiflash from
InfoChem. It is now worth noting that
the access to SIMULIS Property Packages
through the same CAPE-OPEN socket has been
demonstrated.
In a separate presentation, Andrew
Ogden-Swift, Director of Advanced
Development at Honeywell, mentioned
Honeywell commitment to CAPE-OPEN as a
solution to integrate their line of
products. For example Honeywell intends to
make use of gPROMS advanced models in the
UniSim Design Suite through the
CAPE-OPEN interfaces supported by both
gPROMS and UniSim. Honeywell is also
considering implementation of the Dynamic
UNIT extension in their Shadow Plant
product. PSE and Honeywell, who have already
jointly developed a seamless interface
between Shadow Plant and gPROMS, are now
actively considering the use of CAPE-OPEN
steady-state and dynamic UNIT standards for
future interfaces between their products.
