7.1 Introduction
Aspen Custom Modeler (ACM) is a component of the Aspen
Engineering Suite designed to suit the need of the fast-paced
process modeling industry. ACM allows you to create custom
process models that encapsulate specific expertise and
proprietary knowledge by using high-level process modeling
language. You can use this language to describe the unique
properties of a unit operation or stream, and list equations as
they are found in chemical engineering textbooks or literature.
ACM models can be exported and used in other AspenTech
simulation tools (i.e., Aspen Plus, Aspen Dynamics, and HYSYS).
The versatile compatibility of ACM models not only leverages the
dependence on one particular simulator, but also combines the
strengths of those compatible simulators to provide maximum
customized modeling.
In HYSYS, ACM models can be imported and configured as a
user operation. You can manipulate the modeling parameters of
the ACM model in HYSYS the same way the model is built in
ACM.
To run an exported ACM model in HYSYS, you must have a
valid AEA_ACM_Export_Model license.
If you have Aspen Custom Modeler (ACM) or Aspen Dynamics
(AD) installed and you export a model from either of those
applications, then the model can be used in HYSYS and
Aspen Plus without the required additional license. HYSYS
will use one ACM or AD license for this capability. By default,
HYSYS will first check for a valid ACM model export license
(which does not require ACM or AD to be installed). If this
license cannot be found, it will use an ACM or AD application
license depending on the source of the exported model. If
the required ACM or AD license still cannot be located, then
ACM will not solve. You will only be able to open the case and
work with the rest of the simulation.
