Aspen Custom Modeler Overview
 Aspen Custom Modeler is specifically designed for
development and use of custom process models
 With Aspen Custom Modeler you can:
– Quickly and easily develop custom unit operation models,
including your specific expertise or proprietary know-how
– Store these models in libraries for others to use
– Build these models into complete simulation flowsheets
– Run in 4 different modes:




Steady state
Dynamic
Parameter estimation
Optimization (steady-state or dynamic)
– Package and deploy completed simulations for use across your
enterprise
