APMonitor
Description
- APMonitor: A technology leader in advanced process modeling, estimation, and control.
Additional Information
APMonitor software is a modeling, simulation, and optimization environment for large-scale models of differential and algebraic equations (DAEs). These models are employed in six solution modes:
- Steady-State (SS)
- Parameter Fit (MPU)
- Optimization (RTO)
- Simulation (SIM)
- Estimation (EST)
- Control (CTL)
The model does not have to be changed to switch between the modes. The same model is used for parameter fitting, dynamic simulation, optimization, and control. The user is required to define the model and the software automatically configures the various simulation options.
Solution options
APMonitor uses a simultaneous solution approach to solve the differential equations. The differential equations are converted to algebraic equations and solved with large-scale sparse solvers. There are an assortment of solvers available with various user's licenses, ranging from free and open-source to commercial.
Chemical Process Flowsheets
A thermodynamic database and a number of prebuilt nonlinear models are available with APMonitor. The chemical processing modeling package includes polymer reactors, distillation columns, compressors, valves, etc. These models are combined to form a flowsheet in an object-oriented environment.
