Who Should Attend

Engineers with Aspen HYSYS experience

Engineers with no or limited previous

experience of dynamic simulations

This course was previously known as

Dynamic Modeling Using Aspen HYSYS
Dynamics, EB1017

Objectives

Develop the skills and "know-how" required

for creating and running dynamic simulations
using Aspen HYSYS Dynamics.
Learn how to use the software to solve
dynamic problems, and explore different
control scenarios

Course Benefits

Solve complete dynamic problems using

Aspen HYSYS Dynamics by first building a
steady-state flowsheet and then performing
steps to make the transition to dynamics

Learn pressure flow theory, column dynamics

theory, and control theory

Interpret pressure flow specifications, strip

charts, and controllers

Discover techniques and rules of thumb for

controller tuning

See how different control strategies can

handle different types of disturbances; learn
how capacitance and dead-time affect
controllability

Automate actions within a dynamics case by

using the Event Scheduler

Approach

Instruction on basic topics

Discussion about the general approach and

the key elements for successful simulations

Instructor-guided demonstrations of features

Hands-on workshops

Detailed course notes

Prerequisites

Familiarity with Aspen HYSYS steady-state

modeling

Access to Aspen HYSYS and the Aspen

HYSYS Dynamics option at your company
following the course is needed to apply your
learning
