ProSim has been a leader in the implementation of CAPE-OPEN interfaces ever since the early stages of CAPE-OPEN. Simulis Thermodynamics, the versatile thermodynamic server developed and marketed by Prosim, was one of the first CAPE-OPEN compliant Thermo System as well as Property Package Manager. ProSimPlus, their process modelling environment, is also CAPE-OPEN compliant, capable of using CAPE-OPEN Property Packages as well as Unit Operations. ProSim is also, in partnership with Fives, developing and marketing a stand-alone CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation, CO-ProSec. Their batch process simulators, namely BatchColumn for batch distillation and BatchReactor for batch reactor modeling and simulation, can use CAPE-OPEN Property Packages.
As of January 1, 2021, ProSim SA is an Associate Member in Group A as per the bylaws adopted on October 15, 2020.
Representatives in CO-LaN
Stéphane DECHELOTTE, CEO of ProSim SA, has been representing ProSim SA in CO-LaN ever since ProSim SA became an Associate Member.
CAPE-OPEN related activities
Since 2006, ProSim regularly proposes training sessions on CAPE-OPEN, starting with one on-site at Rhodia and the one held at AIChE 2006.
In 2001 ProSim developed the Tester for Physical Properties Data Bank components under contract for CO-LaN. This Tester is an integral part of the CAPE-OPEN Tester Suite
In 2006, ProSim developed for TOTAL the CAPE-OPEN FORTRAN Unit Operation Wizard that makes it easy to develop a CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation using FORTRAN, especially when starting from an existing unit operation model in FORTRAN. The Wizard is available for use by CO-LaN Members. ProSim offers on-demand training courses on how to use the Wizard.
ProSim SA participates in the program supplying licenses of process simulation software to CO-LaN for test purposes (2012).
ProSim SA was awarded the CAPE-OPEN 2011 Award.
ProSim participated to the following meetings organized through CO-LaN:
- Alain VACHER demonstrated Simulis Thermodynamics at the CAPE-OPEN 2012 Annual Meeting.
- September 10, 2014: within the CAPE-OPEN 2014 Annual Meeting, Philippe GUITTARD presented on BatchColumn as a CAPE-OPEN Process Modelling Environment.
- October 13, 2017: within the CAPE-OPEN 2017 Annual Meeting, Alain VACHER, IT Manager at ProSim SA, delivered an update on ProSim software status with regard CAPE-OPEN.
September 2018: Alain VACHER contributed to the review of the Custom Data interface specification proposed by the Thermo Special Interest Group.
October 2018: video posted on ProSim YouTube channel about using HTRI XChanger Suite in ProSimPlus.
