Problem Statement

I would like to program a CAPE-OPEN unit. Is there any help available?

Solution

Attached to this solution you will find a project wizard, to be used with Visual Basic 6.0 SP3.

To install the wizard:
1 - Unzip the attached archive to a temporary folder
2 - Start the setup.exe and follow the directions.

To use the wizard double-click on "CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation Wizard.vbz" in \Program Files\CAPE-OPEN\Unit Wizard or whereever you installed it.

The wizard is a deliverable of the CAPE-OPEN project - not an AspenTech product. It is intended to help users getting started with building CAPE-OPEN Unit Operations. This wizard helps you to quickly generate the supporting files for a CAPE-OPEN unit.

It's been tested on Windows 2000 SP2 and Windows NT SP4.

You need Visual Basic 6.0 SP3 installed to use it. (It may work with other versions, but it has been tested with Visual Basic 6.0 SP3).

The Unit Operations it generates have been tested with:

• Aspen Plus 11.1,
• Hysys 2.2 with latest CAPE-OPEN add-on,
• CAPE-OPEN Test program from www.co-lan.org

The wizard generates a unit operation using the CAPE-OPEN 0.9.3 version. Since this version of CAPE-OPEN unit operations is supported in Aspen Plus 12.1 and 2004, the wizard should also work in that release.

While the wizard is not covered by AspenTech Customer Support, we would be pleased to hear any feedback you may have.
