    The document discusses how to integrate Aspen process simulation software with Microsoft Excel using Aspen Simulation Workbook. This allows exporting data from Excel to run simulations and send results back to Excel for analysis and visualization. The document provides step-by-step instructions for setting up this integration and running simulations on data imported from a data historian system.

    Flowsheet:

    Solution:
    Aspen Simulation Workbook (ASW) excel integration add-in allows
    exporting data from excel to the process simulation software where data
    would be processed and results could be sent back to excel for analysis
    and visualization.

    In order to ensure effective utilization of the data available from the plant,
    Microsoft Excel will be acting as a hub between the plant data retrieved
    from the data historian system (DCS, OSI PI, Aspen IP21, ….etc.) and
    the process simulation case.

    In the above case we are have retrieved compressor data from the data

    scenario table to calculate the compressor power and polytropic
    efficiency for each data point from the data set.

    In order to start sending/receiving the data from the simulation case we


    have to make sure that Aspen Simulation workbook add-in is active.

    If tab is not shown in the Ribbon, follow the hereinafter screenshots:

    Make sure that the add-in checkbox is checked.

    ASW V10 and earlier can be only configured on Excel 32-bit.


    ASW V10.1, 11, 11.1 and above is compatible with both 32 & 64 bit.
