  4. Previous Enhancements (3.x) • 3.0 - May 1996 - Flowsheet linking, New Base Window, title box, Autorouting • 3.1 - August 1996 - Stream naming, COSTALD density • 3.15 - March 1997 - New Stream Summary, 150 sample flowsheets • 3.2 - July 1997 - Stream Data Box, Peneloux SOAVE Correction, Heat Exchanger Bulk Properties

  5. Version 8.0 (Feb 1998) Enhancements • Synchronized all parts at version 8.0 • New security system allows software locking or hardware locking on Win NT, 95 or 3.1 • Added DIPA and MDEA pure components • New Mixed Amine Thermo-dynamic method using MEA, DEA, MDEA, DGA and/or DIPA • New Mixed Amine Rate Based Distillation Columns (ABS / Regen) for accurate CO2 / H2S absorption

  6. Version 8.0 Enhancements (cont.) • Last Four PSD’s are now on File pulldown menuFree • Water Volumetric flowrate is now printed in the Stream Summary and Stream Data Box • New symbols for Batch Distillation column, Air Cooler and bootless Horizontal Flash • Results Transfer to Excel updated for latest changes to Microsoft Excel 97 • New 625 page DESIGN II / ChemTran manual • New SAT FEE WAT = ALL command

  7. Version 8.1 (Nov 1998) Enhancements • New Brazed Aluminum Plate Fin Heat Exchanger unit module with rating • Unstructured Packing in Mixed Amine Columns • Full dialog support for Heat Exchanger Rating • Dialog support for stream heating or cooling curves • Dialogs for component / petroleum fraction properties

  8. Version 8.1 Enhancements (cont.) • Added Reflux Ratio / Condenser Temperature specification to the Mixed Amine Regenerator • Added capability for reading portions of input files into flowsheets • Improved the data results transfer to Microsoft Excel • Added Cp/Cv ratio to stream results

  9. Version 8.2 (Sept. 1999) Enhancements • New Air Cooler unit module with 2 phase rating • New Vapor Fraction feed stream flash (at T or P) • New stream results on the flowsheet attached to streams • New stream calculation options: heating value (gross / net), wobbe index, dew / bubble points, water dew point • New dialogs for the Shortcut Fractionator and flash sizing

  10. Version 8.2 Enhancements (cont.) • New Visual Basic interface into the DESIGN II simulator kernel allows DESIGN II to be embedded into custom applications • Added Warning and Error Messages to the Simulation Results dialog • Added duplicate results items plus dimensional units control to the Stream Data Box • Improved single component phase change convergence in the heat exchanger rating

  11. Version 8.3 (Nov. 2000) Enhancements • Graphical user interface now supports long file names • Added new Liquid Cp thermo enthalpy method • Added support for DIPPR equations and data • Added a selection mode to the user interface • Increased the maximum number of components from 150 to 1000 • Increased the maximum number of petroleum fractions from 100 to 600

  12. Version 8.4 (Jan. 2002) Enhancements • Added support for multiple sheets to the user interface • Increased the maximum size of a flowsheet that could be modeled in the graphical user interface by 10X • Converted the simulator kernels from single precision to double precision arithmetic • Added Energy Balance table • Import stream results from an output file as stream specs • Added more Refine column symbols with side strippers • Added embedding of ChemTran files inside a DESIGN II input file

  13. Version 8.5 (Sept. 2002) Enhancements • Added Controller and Depressurizer unit module dialogs • Major enhancement of the Depressurizer unit module to support the 7th edition of API 520 and added mixed phase flow option • Added user customization to the Excel Blaster for stream summary items • Added crude curve/cuts viscosity and properties (sulfur, pour point, etc) to the stream dialog

  14. User Survey • Microsoft Word document in each installed copy to fax or email to WinSim • Requested Features list • Operating System usage • Update user list / address / phone numbers / email address

  15. Internet Web Site • www.winsim.com • latest version from patches to complete build (18 MB) for download at any time • two week password generator for any person needing a test-drive or a temporary password • email notification of changes to the website

  16. Future Enhancements (next 1 to 2 years) • Completion of dialog support for all unit modules and general keywords • Expansion of pure component database • Interface to Heat Exchanger design programs • Add drawing of non-simulator related lines and symbols

  17. Future Enhancements (long term) • Merge DESIGN II into graphical user interface for greater control / interaction • Allow separate choice of thermodynamics methods (enthalpy and density) for vapor and liquid phases

  18. Summary • DESIGN II for Windows is a powerful, full-featured simulation tool • Easy to learn and use • Proven track record of reliable results • Cost effective to use
