Software Training Courses

Introduction

Nowadays, software is an inseparable part of all engineering projects. It is not like before when all projects were done by hand and spreadsheets. Accordingly, learning software is obligatory and necessary for every engineer. Nowadays if you go to a company for recruitment, the first specialized question they ask you is which software and at what level you know them. APIPCO (SANILCO) provides important software training.

Chemical Engineering Software Training

Aspen Plus

Aspen Plus is one of the most famous and powerful chemical engineering software, which includes several related software packages. In fact, it is a chemical process simulation software that is used to design, optimize and simulate chemical and industrial processes. This software is developed by AspenTech. It is also used in many industries such as oil, gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food. The strong point of this software compared to other software is the really strong database of this software about solids, liquids and gases.

Aspen Hysys

Aspen Hysys software is considered one of the most powerful simulation software in engineering fields, which is mostly used in chemical and petrochemical engineering fields, but it can also be used in fields such as mechanics. Almost all petrochemical companies and their affiliates in Iran use this software as well as Aspen to carry out their projects. Refineries are very important industries that are responsible for refining crude oil and turning it into valuable products. Aspen HYSYS has powerful capabilities and modules for the simulation of various refinery equipment, by means of which it is possible to simulate different units of a refinery.

The training of this software is available in two introductory and advanced courses.

Matlab

MATLAB is one of the best software packages in chemical engineering for drawing data and numerical calculations. And it is used in the following fields:

Transfer of momentum, mass and energy

Distillation column operation

Modeling of all types of process equipment

Design of reactors

Analysis of control loops

Comsol

COMSOL Multiphysics software (in English: COMSOL Multiphysic) is a complete simulation suite that can solve the differential equations of nonlinear systems by partial derivatives using the finite element method (FEM) in one, two, and three-dimensional spaces. Most of this software is related to chemical engineering, it enables modeling and then simulation with extremely high accuracy. A long time to perform a test, not repeating the test with different conditions, and more importantly, the test may be expensive, which can be greatly reduced with the help of software.

PDMS

PDMS (Plant Design Management Syste) is one of the best and most widely used modeling software. In fact, it is a computer-aided design software for 3D design, which is mostly used in engineering companies for computer design and modeling of an industrial complex. (especially used in oil, gas, petrochemical and power plant industries). There are great features in PDMS software that make it stand out from other 3D design software. For example, the outputs and inputs of the software are easily compatible with other engineering software.

Fortran

Fortran is a compiled programming language for scientific and numerical calculations. This language is common in high-performance computing and the benchmark for the fastest supercomputers. One of the important features of FORTRAN90 is the high speed of compiling computational codes. The reason for this is that the commands of this language are optimal compared to other languages, and due to the minimal number of characters required to create a command and many preferred and optional features, the codes written in this language have a small volume and are executed in a short time. And it will work. This is especially important for heavy numerical calculations.

GAMBIT Fluent

GAMBIT Fluent is designed and developed to help analysts and designers build and mesh models for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and other scientific applications. GAMBIT’s graphical user interface helps designers and CFD analysts much more easily create, mesh and assign zone types for a simple and intuitive model. Gambit provides the desired input for the Fluent program (in .msh format). This software needs Exceed software to run. It is also compatible with all kinds of standard graphic and layout formats.

Conclusion

Industrial training is one of the main pillars of sustainable development in petrochemical and oil industries. Considering the importance of this issue, investing in human resources training and using new educational methods can help improve the performance of these industries and increase their competitiveness at the international level. In this field, APIPCO (SANILCO) provides specialized software training.
