GCO Interoperability
Demonstration November 2000
At the GCO Mid-term Meeting in
Amsterdam in November, 2000,
Malcolm Woodman from BP
demonstrated CAPE-OPEN
interoperability, using Aspen
Plus from AspenTech and
HYSYS.Plant from Hyprotech. This
was a very significant event,
since it was the first time that
someone from an operating
company had been able to show
CAPE-OPEN "plug and play"
interoperability working with
competing commercial simulators.
All of the software used is
available from the AspenTech and
Hyprotech websites, provided, of
course, you have the respective
licences. The demonstration
shows the enormous progress that
has been made by GCO in
developing comprehensive and
unambiguous specifications, and
by both AspenTech and Hyprotech
in making the use of CAPE-OPEN
components in their simulators
convenient and reliable.
You can find this PowerPoint
presentation
here (150 Kbytes).
It first describes the
interchange of unit operation
components between the
simulators, and then goes on to
show the Aspen Properties
property system being used in
HYSYS and a demonstration
property package from Hyprotech
being used in Aspen Plus.
