More than 1000 participants are expected. Among more than 200 papers delivered by Aspentech and its clients, it is worth noticing, in the agenda as of April 12, 2019, a poster titled “CAPE-OPEN Interface Boosts your Engineering Workflow”. It will be presented by BASF: a Unit Operation model containing BASF intellectual property is made available as a CAPE-OPEN Process Modelling Component (PMC) for use in any Process Modelling Environments supporting a CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation socket (includes Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, COFE, DWSIM, Petro-SIM, ProMax, ProSimPlus, PRO/II, UniSim Design, VMGSim, etc…).
CAPE-OPEN has been present in a few editions of OPTIMIZE (and previously AspenWorld) or AES User Group Meetings:
- at AspenWorld2002, a paper on the “Value of the CAPE-OPEN standard for ATOFINA” was presented in an Aspen Simulation World User Group session,
- at AspenWorld2004, a paper on “Industrial achievements using CAPE-OPEN” collected input from Shell Global Solutions, IFP New Energy, AixCAPE e.V., Process Systems Enterprise Ltd, and others,
- at Aspen Engineering Suite (AES) User Group Meeting in May 2007, Houston, TX, a presentation by Steve ZITNEY (NETL) described how the APECS project made use of CAPE-OPEN,
- at Aspen Worldwide User Conference 2009, Steve ZITNEY presented on “Co-Simulation for Advanced Process Design and Optimization” where CAPE-OPEN was prominently mentioned in many of the slides.
- at OPTIMIZE 2011, a paper on the “Business Benefit through the Integration of GAP and Aspen HYSYS, via a CAPE-OPEN Interface” was presented by BP.
CO-LaN welcomes the opportunity given to BASF, a strong supporter of CAPE-OPEN over more than 25 years, to emphasize how CAPE-OPEN is a key enabling technology. CO-LaN encourages conference participants to visit BASF poster and discuss it.
