DWSIM: Open-Source Chemical Process Simulator

DWSIM is an open-source chemical process simulator software used for modeling chemical processes. It allows users to model steady-state and dynamic simulations of common chemical unit operations. DWSIM is cross-platform and available for Windows, Linux and macOS.

What is DWSIM?

DWSIM (pronounced as 'dee-wiz-sim') is an open-source chemical process simulator software used for modeling chemical processes. It allows users to model steady-state and dynamic simulations of common chemical unit operations like reactors, separators, pumps, valves etc. DWSIM can help determine design specifications and operating parameters for these equipments.

Some key features of DWSIM include:

• Graphical user interface to model flowsheets
• Extensive thermodynamic database
• Options for custom unit operations and reactions
• Optimization tools
• Capability to export simulation data
• Scripting interface for automation tasks

DWSIM is built using the CAPE-OPEN standards, which allows integration with other CAPE-OPEN compliant simulation software. The flowsheet simulation capabilities makes DWSIM a popular alternative for expensive commercial process simulators like Aspen Plus, CHEMCAD or PRO/II.

DWSIM is cross-platform and available for Windows, Linux and macOS operating systems. The open-source nature of DWSIM allows developers to customize and enhance the software as required. Overall, DWSIM is a feature-rich alternative for commercial chemical process simulation software.
