A Short Course titled "Development of Unit Operation models using CAPE-OPEN" is organized within the 2008 AIChE Annual meeting. The Short Course S2 is scheduled on November 16, 2008 from 9 AM till 5 PM and will take place at the Philadelphia Marriott in Philadelphia, PA. Use the form on AIChE website to register for the course.

What you will learn:

• Overview of the CAPE-OPEN technology.
• Key features of CAPE-OPEN.
• The role of property packages and unit operation models in a simulation.
• How to use third-party CAPE-OPEN objects in your simulation environment.
• Hands-on creation of CAPE-OPEN model objects in C++, Visual Basic or C#.
• Use of the created object in a CAPE-OPEN compliant process simulator.
• What to anticipate in future developments

Who should attend:

All who are interested in computer-aided process design for the chemical industry: chemical, biochemical and process engineers, product and application development engineers, chemists, biochemists, biologists, R&D engineers, university professors and students.
