PROCESS ENGINEERING ACADEMIC PROGRAM
We are offering:
Cloud Access for PRO/II, DYNSIM and
SimCentral available March 2019
The Academic Program is offered with cloud access
to Universities to provide flexibility to students to
use Process Simulation in their assignment. The
program allows up to 50 students and faculty to
enroll every semester to access our PRO/II Process
Engineering solution, DYNSIM Dynamic Simulation
and/or our SimCentral Simulation Platform.
yy Includes 100 hours per student per semester,
150 for the professor
yy No need to install software
yy Accessible from anywhere from the classroom,
the lab, the dorm, even from Starbucks -as long
as there is an internet connection
yy Student prefers Apple iBook and not a
Windows OS? No problem. Use Chrome to
access our Cloud.
yy No need to install and maintain a license server
yy No need to update versions. Every semester the
new students will get access to the latest version
of the software
yy Free computer based training for PRO/II. Students
can learn the basics on their own time and review
as often as needed.
yy Access to FAQ’s, videos
yy Access to sample academic simulations
for professors.
SimCentral – The Next Generation Platform
yy SimCentral is SimSci’s next generation
simulation platform designed for the complete
engineering lifecycle
yy SimCentral includes multiple modes for steady
state process simulation, fluid flow network
simulation, and dynamic simulation
yy It comes with a standard set of model libraries
for process utilities, flare systems, and chemical
process simulation
yy Customers can extend the simulation models
through open model writing or create brand
new libraries for new processes without
software development
yy Designed from the ground up, it includes next
generation ease of use features for the next
generation of chemical engineer. It continuously
solves and gives immediate user feedback.
It allows for nimble specification changes to
investigate alternatives and to quickly optimize
your process design.
Immersive Virtual Reality Training Systems (ITS) -
Generic Virtual Crude Unit model for Universities
yy EYESIM™ is a comprehensive Immersive Training
System (ITS) solution that links control room
operators to field operators and maintenance
operators by means of a high-fidelity process
simulation and virtual reality (VR) walkthrough
plant environment. EYESIM provides complete
plant crew training to improve skills that are safety-
critical by enabling operators to perform tasks in
a simulated environment, allowing them to react
quickly and correctly, facilitating reactions in high
stress conditions, and instilling standards for team
training and communications
yy The University Virtual Crude unit model includes
a photorealistic stereoscopic interactive VR
environment including a typical configuration with
Desalters, Furnace, Preheat Train, Main Column,
Side Strippers, and other typical unit operation.
The system offers 2 modes of operation for
either individual user self-learning or Instructor
Led learning. Interactive VR allows students to
become familiar with a realistic plant environment
enhanced with dynamic animations to enrich the
training experience. The EYESIM technology is
designed for all current Virtual Reality hardware in
the market today including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive,
and 3D projection systems. Each university may
have different preferences for the VR technology
to use therefore AVEVA will work to develop an
individually focused hardware specification and
license bundle to match

Commonly-asked questions when considering the use of process simulators for higher learning

How do I justify cost? We use SimSci software in two courses: Computer Applications in Chemical Engineering and
Process Simulation for training 3rd and 4th year students. We would recommend SimSci
software to other Academic Institutions as it is easy to use and offers a competitive price.
– Professor, Federal Government

How steep is the learning I highly recommend using the SimSci software because it is user friendly and helps students
curve? how to build models easily.
– Dr. Zoltan Varga, Associate Professor, University of Pannonia

The software is powerful and easy to apply in control applications.

– Rubens Gedraite, Professor, Universidade Federal de Uberlandia

Where can I use this I use it in my thermodynamics course for multicomponent processes and for liquid-liquid
software beyond the senior equilibrium.
design course? I use it in my separations course for LLE, distillation, and a few other processes for open ended
design projects. It is used in the Plant design course extensively. It is also used in the heat and
fluids unit operations course.
– Claire Komives, Professor, San Jose State University

What is the impact of With SimSci, our students become familiar with the software and process modeling steps.
simulators on students’ SimSci also solidifies knowledge of certain subjects (reactor design, thermodynamics, vapour/
learning experience? liquid equilibrium).
– Department Chair, Educational Institution

Do simulators reflect the Our students tell us that having PRO/II skills on their CV is helpful for getting their first job.

Technical University of Denmark

With SimSci, our students are better trained and find jobs very quickly.
