    IntroductionAspen HYSYS is the industry leading simulation software for oil & gas, refining, and engineering processes. With an

    extensive array of unit operations, specialized work environments, and a robust solver, modeling in Aspen HYSYS V8

    enables the user to:

    Improve equipment design and performance

    Monitor safety and operational issues in the plant

    Optimize processing capacity and operating conditions

    Identify energy savings opportunities and reduce GHG emissions

    Perform economic evaluation to realize savings in the process design

    Aspen HYSYS V8 builds upon the legacy modeling environment, adding increased value with integrated products and

    an improved user experience. The ease of use and flexibility of model calculations have been preserved, while new

    capabilities have been added.

    Scope of this DocumentThis document is intended as a simple getting started guide. It will cover the process of creating a new case, setting up

    component lists and fluid packages, and working in the simulation environment to build the model. Integrated features

    and specific topics such as energy analysis, economic evaluation, and EDR integration will be discussed at a high level.

    For a more in-depth understanding of these topics we provide links to further documentation and training materials

    developed specifically by the AspenTech experts in those areas.

    We encourage you to take advantage of our full range of training resources including:

    The AspenTech support website (support. aspentech.com)

    AspenTech online training modules which can be accessed from the Get Started ribbon

    Aspentech courses AspenTech business consultants

    Overview of the New User InterfaceAspen HYSYS V8 uses the new common shell component to manage the windows and forms in the user interface.

    This is the same shell that has been adopted by many other AspenTech products. The shell provides an interactive work

    environment that offers the user full control over the screen display.

    Floating forms, flowsheets, the model palette, and other objects can now be docked inside of a window or tabbed as a

    separate window as shown in Figure 1.

    Figure 1. Overview of New UI

    The navigation pane shows the hierarchy of and provides access to all available forms. Environment buttons allow for

    easy navigation between case properties and simulation. Contextual ribbons bring the most commonly used commands

    to the surface of the workspace.

    Window and Form Controls

    You can click and drag tabs to one side of the workspace to display them side by side or drag them out of the Aspen

    HYSYS window entirely (even to a second monitor).

    Multiple tabs can be open at once; clicking on a tab will make it the active window and will reveal contextual ribbons and

    objects. Each tab displays the name of the form it contains. Sub-forms, such as a column subflowsheet, also display the

    name of the parent folder or object (Figure 2).

    Figure 2. Tabbed Windows

    To manage the number of tabs, you can right-click on a tab and select Close or Close All But This. If you click and drag

    the tabs off of the row or right click and select Floating, they turn into freestanding forms. To create separate window

    groups within the workspace, place the pointer over a window tab, then hold down the left mouse button while dragging

    the pointer into one of the boxes superimposed on the workspace, as shown in Figure 3.

    Overview of the Ribbon

    In Aspen HYSYS V8, options and operations are displayed in a convenient ribbon. As in earlier versions of Aspen HYSYS,

    the File menu contains commands for opening and saving files. The most frequently used commands are together on

    the Home tab (Figure 4). To find the current location of any of the commands from previous versions, see Mapping of

    Commands to the Ribbon in the Aspen HYSYS help section (or click the link on the new Getting Started ribbon).

    Figure 4. Aspen HYSYS Home Ribbon

    Click any of the tabs on the ribbon to access a set of related commands. These commands are split into groups by

    common functionality.

    Some groups have a small arrow button located at the bottom right corner of the group labeled the Dialog Box Launcher

    (Figure 4). Clicking this button opens a dialog box with additional commands.

    Some of the ribbon tabs are contextual. These tabs are only shown when the commands they contain are relevant. For

    instance, the Flowsheet/Modify tab is only visible when the flowsheet is the active window. The environment ribbons

    themselves are also contextual. Switching between the Properties and Simulation environments will switch to the

    associated ribbon.

    Copy and Paste, Drag and Drop

    Grids forms in the new Aspen HYSYS user interface support copy and paste and drag and drop functions for variables

    from the workbook and object worksheets to forms that require input variables such as case studies and data tables.

    Copy and paste can be done by right-clicking or using the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V shortcuts. To drag and drop, click and hold

    the mouse button over the grey tile of the variable you wish to transfer and drag to the grey tile of the location you wish to

    add it to. A plus sign will appear next to the mouse when you are able to move or drop a variable (Figure 10). For certain

    forms, you may need to click the Add button before you can drop a variable.

    Figure 10. Drag and Drop

    Environment Buttons

    Aspen HYSYS has two user environments: Properties and Simulation. The environments have specialized user interfaces

    for performing different tasks. The Properties environment displays all of the tasks related to configuring the underlying

    physical properties associated with a model. This environment includes workflows related to finding property data,

    regressing and estimating property data, and customizing the methods and models used to calculate properties.

    The Simulation environment is focused on tasks related to building and using process models. It includes everything you

    need to create and edit a process flowsheet, analyze a process, etc. Each environment has a unique subset of contextual

    ribbons.

    When switching between the two environments, the state of each is preserved, including the active ribbon tab and any

    forms, plots, and other windows that may be open. Some of the forms and folders in the Properties environment have

    been reorganized for easier access. Find more information on the Properties and Simulation environments in the following

    sections.

    Starting a New CaseOpen ASPEN HYSYS from the Windows start menu by clicking on the AspenTech folder > Process Modeling V8 > Aspen

    HYSYS > .

    On a Windows 7 machine, we recommend that you pin Aspen HYSYS to the Start Menu by right clicking on the Aspen

    HYSYS item from the All Programs list and choosing Pin to Start Menu. This will make it easy to access Aspen HYSYS

    directly the next time you want to open it.

    When Aspen HYSYS opens, you will see the Start Page as well as Recent Cases and Get Started Materials. To create a

    new case, click on New in the top, left box or File > New.

    The Properties EnvironmentAll new cases start in the Properties environment. This is where you will select the components to be used in your model

    and set the calculation methods for physical properties (fluid package). The combination of a component list and a fluid

    package is called a property package. You cannot enter the Simulation environment until at least one property package

    has been created and, if you have multiple component lists, each one has been assigned a fluid package.

    Creating a Component List

    The first step to building a model is to create Component Lists which collectively contains all of the components that

    will be used in your process. Later, when you specify a stream in the simulation environment, you will need to choose a

    component list for that stream. It may be helpful to create multiple component lists in cases where streams have very

    different compositions.

    Aspen HYSYS supports components both from its own databank and Aspen Properties.

    To create an Aspen HYSYS component list, click on the Add Button at the bottom of the grid. To create an Aspen

    Properties component list, click on the dropdown arrow and choose Aspen Properties (Figure 11).

    Figure 11. Select a Component List Type

    Now, use the search form to select which type of components to add to the list. When you type in the Search For box,

    Aspen HYSYS will automatically populate matches in the grid below. Hitting Enter or clicking Add will add the selected

    component to the list. You can use the shift and control keys to add multiple components at a time and you can reorder

    the list by dragging and dropping cells (Figure 12).

    Figure 12. Add Components

    Selecting a Fluid Package

    You must associate each component list with a Fluid Package. Click on the Fluid Packages folder in the navigation pane or

    on the Fluid Package icon from the Home ribbon.

    Click on the Add button to add an Aspen HYSYS fluid package. Next, click on the dropdown arrow for the additional

    options of Aspen Properties and COM Thermo (Figure 13).

    Figure 13. Select a Database for the Fluid Package

    By default the fluid package created will be of the Aspen HYSYS type. Use the Selection dropdown box to choose another

    list. In the Property Package Selection box, click on the fluid package that you want to use to complete this property

    package setup (Figure 14).

    Figure 14. Choose a Fluid Package Type

    To specify another fluid package, click on the folder from the navigation pane or the icon on the ribbon.

    The Simulation Environment- Building the FlowsheetWith property packages specified, you are now ready to begin creating your model. Click on the Simulation environment

    button on the bottom left panel (Figure 15).

    Figure 15. Simulation Environment Button

    You will see the object palette appear on top of a blank flowsheet. You can start by adding either a material stream or a

    unit operation from the palette.

    Adding Flowsheet Objects: The Model Palette

    Unit operations on the model palette are organized into six tabs, the most frequently used operations are located on the

    Common tab. There are also tabs for refining, dynamics, columns, upstream, and custom (Figure 16).

    Material streams can be added using the blue arrow and energy streams can be added using the red arrow. If you close

    the palette you can re-open it from the View Ribbon, Flowsheet/Modify ribbon, or by using the F4 keyboard shortcut.

    Figure 16. The Model Palette

    Add an Object from the Palette to the Flowsheet

    To place a unit or material stream on the flowsheet, click the icon in the palette and move the mouse over the flowsheet

    to where you would like to place the object. You will see that the mouse has a plus sign next to it, indicating that when

    you click the mouse again, the object will be added.

    Specifying Flowsheet Objects The Aspen HYSYS Solver and

    Convergence

    The Aspen HYSYS solver is uniquely flexible and very robust; when the solver is active, it automatically responds to inputentered for any object in the flowsheet and back calculates parameters for the entire process. Visual indicators display

    the status of all flowsheet objects. You can see the status of an object both on the flowsheet itself and on the status bar at

    the bottom of an object form (Figure 17).

    Figure 17. Visual Indicators

    Color indicators for flowsheet objects are as follows:

    Red The object is missing a basic requirement (such as a stream connection) or the object contains errors.

    Yellow All connections are complete but the block is underspecified or contains warnings.

    Green This unit has solved without errors.

    If a stream is over-specified you will likely see a dialogue box that reports a consistency error. If a unit is over-specified

    you will see a warning appear in the status bar.

    Specify Material Streams

    Open the material stream form by double-clicking on the stream arrow. The form will open to the Workbook tab >

    Conditions form. On the Worksheet tab, enter enough parameters to fully define both the streams composition and

    its thermodynamic state. You can input information in any order; Aspen HYSYS will automatically respond to new

    information and update other conditions that it calculates (Figure 18).

    Add Connections on the Flowsheet

    Click the blue arrow on the palette to select it. Click on theflowsheet in the location you want to place the stream. Deselect

    objects by clicking on a blank area of the flowsheet. Now, view

    attachment ports by either holding down the control key or

    clicking the Attach icon on the Flowsheet/Modify ribbon. Click

    on one of the ports, drag the mouse, and release over the inlet

    port of a unit operation or another stream (Figure 22).

    Figure 22. Add Connections from the Flowsheet

    Step 2. Input Parameters

    Open the unit operation form. Click on the Design tab > Parameters Form. Depending on the unit operation, there may

    be input boxes that are blank or marked empty, radio buttons, or other input to complete. You must specify enough

    parameters so that the flowsheet has zero degrees of freedom and can solve.

    Flowsheet ControlsWhile you are building your flowsheet, you may find it helpful to use the controls provided on the Flowsheet/Modify

    ribbon and the right-mouse-button menu of flowsheet objects (Figure 23). We will cover some of the most commonly

    used functions here.

    The Flowsheet Modify Ribbon

    Figure 23. Flowsheet/Modify ribbon

    Changing Object OrientationThese controls are on the left side of the flowsheet ribbon (in previous versions they were found in the right-mouse-

    button menu).

    Managing Connections

    At tach Mo de

    Using attach mode is the equivalent to holding down the control key; all available object ports will be displayed as you

    move the mouse on the flowsheet.

    Auto Attach

    When auto attach is selected, you can do the following:

    (1) Make sure all other objects are deselected and add a unit operation. When the operation is added to the

    flowsheet, new streams will be defined for the input and output of that object.

    (2) Before adding your unit, select a stream or object that you would like connected to it. The stream will

    automatically be connected as the input to that operation. For a connected object, a dialogue box will appear

    asking which stream from the first object you would like to connect to the newly added one. This is particularly

    useful if you have many streams as the input to a new object, such as a mixer.

    Find Object

    The Find Object button, located in the Tools group of the Flowsheet/Modify tab, can be used both to locate any object

    on a large flowsheet and to directly open any object form. Click on the icon from the Flowsheet ribbon to open the Object

    Navigator.

    The choices on the Object Navigator are as follows:

    Find:

    Open the form for any object or group of objects. For single objects, type in the full object name. For a group of objects,

    type an asterisk, a common character, and another asterisk. For instance, to open the forms for all exchangers with a

    number in the 300s, click Find and type *e3* (Figure 24).

    View:

    Open the form for the selected object in the Unit Operations list.

    Locate:

    Navigate to the selected Unit Operation in the flowsheet. This command will move the flowsheet within the visible area to

    the location of the selected object.

    Figure 24. Find Object

    Flowsheet HierarchyIn large complex flowsheets, such as the LNG plant in Figure 25, it is often useful to organize processes into smaller

    stages. In this case, blocks represent a particular group of operations. If you double-click on any of these blocks you will

    be able to enter the sub-flowsheet environment using a button at the bottom of the form. You can also right-click on the

    block and use the Open subflowsheet as new tab selection. Inside the subflowsheet you will see only objects related

    to that particular part of the process. If any changes are made in this environment they will not be passed to the main

    flowsheet until you navigate back to the parentthis may cause some objects in the subflowsheet to be temporarily

    unsolved. Use the View Parent Ribbon button to navigate back to the main flowsheet.

    Layered Products and New Integrated CapabilitiesA major focus in Aspen HYSYS V8 is more seamless integration of layered tools. Dynamics and Petroleum Refining

    (formerly Aspen RefSYS) have their own contextual ribbons. Energy Analysis and Economic Evaluation can be activated

    within the simulation to automatically calculate the energy cost and savings potential and the equipment cost for the

    flowsheet. Simple heat exchanger models can now be automatically sized as rigorous EDR models which are then

    embedded in the flowsheet. An overview of some of the integrated capabilities is provided below. For more information,

    see the Additional Resources section.

    Activated Energy and Economic Analysis

    Activated Analysis is intended to guide design decisions through automatic energy and economic analysis. The Activated

    Analysis panel displays key performance indicators which are recalculated each time you change or run the simulation

    case (Figure 28).

    Figure 28. Activated Analysis

    Energy Analysis

    Activated energy analysis can be used to calculate current energy costs and potential savings; it can also automatically

    generate suggestions to improve the heat exchanger network design for the flowsheet. In the Energy Analysis

    Environment, you can view details of the current heat exchanger network and create custom scenarios for energy saving

    designs.

    Economic Analysis

    The Activated Economic Analysis pane displays the relative capital cost and utility cost for the process. The reported

    values are based on calculations from Aspen Process Economic Analyzer.

    Autosizing Rigorous EDR Heat Exchanger ModelsNow, you can automatically convert any simple end point or steady state rating Shell&Tube or AirCooled heat exchanger

    model into a fully rigorous Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating (EDR) model inside Aspen HYSYS. To do this, add the

    appropriate unit operation from the model palette and double-click to open the operation form. On the Design tab >

    Parameters form use the Size Rigorous Shell&Tube or the Size Rigorous Air Cooler button to auto-size the exchanger or

    click the dropdown arrow to open Interactive Sizing using the EDR Sizing Console (Figure 29). EDR sizing optimization

    will determine the lowest cost design that meets process constraints and updates the model into your Aspen HYSYS

    flowsheet. Templates may be used to impose company-specific design criteria. A manual workflow is also available for

    full control of the design. You can view rigorous exchanger results on the Rigorous tab.

    EDR models for Plate Fin and FiredHeater can also be embedded inside a HYSYS simulation. To utilize EDR design, choose

    EDR PlateFin or EDR FiredHeater from the Model Selection dropdown list on the exchanger Parameters form.

    Dynamics

    Dynamic simulation mode addresses non-steady-state processes, such as plant start-up and shut-down (Figure 30). It

    can be used to test control systems, monitor safety considerations, and assess performance problems. In Aspen HYSYS

    Dynamics V8, controls are located on the Dynamics contextual ribbon. Converting your model from steady-state to

    dynamic requires additional input on the unit operation forms. Refer to Additional Resources for more information.

    Petroleum Refining (Formerly Aspen RefSYS)

    Petroleum Assays

    Petroleum Assays can be inputted in the Properties environment. From the navigation pane, double-click on the

    Petroleum Assays folder and click the Add button at the bottom of the window. You will need to first select an Assay

    source; choose specified if you want to enter data manually. Next, choose a Fluid Package from the drop down. You will

    now see that Setup form where you can enter the laboratory data for the crude oil, including property information for the

    bulk of the curves (Figure 31). A built-in assay library is also available, which brings assay data into the Petroleum Assay

    Macro-Cut table where it can be characterized. The unique architecture of Aspen HYSYS Petroleum Refining makes

    it possible to use a single component list across all the assays in the model and propagates the properties across the

    flowsheet enabling crude selection workflows involving multiple assays.

    Refining Unit Operations

    Refining related unit operations, including refining reactors, are readily available in the model palette. Click on the Refining

    contextual tab to view the full list of available operations (Figure 32).

    Aspen HYSYS Upstream: Pipeline and Hydraulics OperationsAspen HYSYS Upstream models pipeline and hydraulic networks as both steady-state and dynamic modes, using

    industry standard methods and techniques. Upstream operations have their own modeling environment, contextual

    ribbon, and contextual palette; therefore, all upstream operations are contained within upstream sub-flowsheets (Figure

    33). To add an Aspen Hydraulics subflowsheet to an Aspen HYSYS case, click on the Upstream tab on the main palette

    and then click on the Aspen Hydraulics icon and add the block to the flowsheet. Double-click on the Hydraulics block to

    open the form and click on the Show Flowsheet button on the bottom.

    Figure 33. Hydraulics Block - Main Flowsheet and Hydraulics Sub-flowsheet

    When the Hydraulics flowsheet is active (tab is selected) you will see the Piping Network ribbon tab and hydraulics

    palette, which you can use to add piping parts to the subflowsheet.

    You can open a pipe form to perform flow assurance analysis - analyze hydrates formation and corrosion or erosion rates

    in the pipeline. An overview of some of the capabilities is captured in Figure 34.
