    Dynamic simulation and numerical analysis tool

    The simulation environment Diana (Dynamic simulation and numerical analysis tool) performs the numerical analysis of problems such as the ones usually found in process engineering.

    One of the main aspects of Diana is that it relies on the CAPE-OPEN Numerical interfaces. The models handled by the solvers within the numerical kernel of Diana, or plugged in Diana, are object-oriented models based on the CAPE-OPEN Equation Set Object (ESO) concept.
