Process Modeling by using Aspen HYSYS Engr. S. Zaheer Abbas

Building the Simulation

Basis environment enables you to specify the basic information like components, property package, reactions and so forth associated to the simulation. Case environment enables you to specify the streams and operation equipment associated to the simulation, and view the calculated results from the simulation.
