HYSIS capabilities

(OP)
I’d like to know if HYSIS simulation programme can do the following:
"Hysys simulation software has been designed not only as a simulator but also as a database to allow efficient transfer of data to the process deliverables:

The simulator can automatically transfer process data from the simulator to process datasheets; size process lines automatically; generate design conditions for datasheets and LDTs; Generate equipment lists and process data sheets, etc."
If so who did this before?

Regards


 

RE: HYSIS capabilities

while not a user of hysis . . .

i've witnessed several cases of a process engr that transferred data from a hysis simulation into excel and then wrote vba code to manipulate the data and create equipment lists, preliminary equipment/pipe sizes, equipment data sheets (eventually transferred to api data sheets), etc. i do not know where this process engr is working at today, but probably could find out.

i did want you to know what you described is possible. it is a matter of determining how the hysis program writes data to a file format suitable for importing into excel. perhaps hysis has the capability to export/import data with excel directly, i do not know.

hope this helps.
good luck!

RE: HYSIS capabilities

Yes, you can easily setup an OLE/Automation link to HYSYS from excel. Most of the objects in HYSYS are accessible via OLE. Look on the support website http://support.aspentech.com and the Help on extending HYSYS on how to do this.
Aspen/Hysys/Hyprotech have developed quite a few applications demonstrating this interface, and these VB codes are freely accessible.

Cheers,
Joerd
