Pro/II Alternatives
Pro/II is described as 'PRO/II® process simulation software is a steady-state simulator enabling improved process design and operational analysis. It is designed to perform rigorous heat and material balance calculations for a wide range of chemical processes' and is an app. There are five alternatives to Pro/II for Windows and Linux. The best alternative is DWSIM, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Pro/II are Aspen Plus, COCO Simulator, CADSIM Plus and CHEMCAD.
- DWSIM is an open-source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator for Windows and Linux. Built on the top of the Microsoft .NET 4.
- Aspen Plus is a market-leading process modeling environment for conceptual design, optimization, and performance monitoring for the chemical, polymer, specialty chemical, metals and minerals, and coal power industries.
- COCO (CAPE-OPEN to CAPE-OPEN) is a free-of-charge CAPE-OPEN compliant steady-state simulation environment consisting of the following components:
- CADSIM Plus is a chemical simulation software that performs mass & energy balances and simulate dynamic conditions. It's a first-principles dynamic process simulator and a full-featured Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD) front-end in one package.
- CHEMCAD is Chemstations’ intuitive suite of chemical process simulation software that broadens an engineer’s capabilities and increases productivity.
