Introduction
Aspen 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 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 also been added.

Scope of this Document

This 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 Interface

Aspen 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.

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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 subflowsheets, also display the name of the parent folder or object (Figure 2).

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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.

Figure 3. Dock a Window

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 (or click the link on the new Getting Started ribbon).

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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, the dialog box launcher (Figure 4), located at the bottom right corner of the group. 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.

The Navigation Pane

The navigation pane resides on the left side of the main window (Figure 5). It can be collapsed using the < control on the upper right side of the panel to create more viewable space in the main window. You can double-click on a folder in the navigation pane to open its form in the active window tab. Alternatively, you can right-click an item and select Open in new tab. The navigation pane also shows the status of each form. When input is incomplete, the circle below the folder is red and half-filled. When input is complete, a blue circle with a white checkmark is visible.

Figure 5. Navigation Pane

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

The dropdown menu below the environment heading allows you to sort contents in the Navigation Pane by Status or Object Type to easily identify objects, unit operations, and streams of interest (Figure 6). Objects include unit operations, streams, analyses, charts, tables, and flowsheets. Sorting by object type will group objects by common function; for example, some headings might be Vessels, Heat Transfer Equipment, and Logical Operations. Sorting objects by Status will help to identify which objects are not solved and contain warnings or errors. Figure 6. Sort the Navigation Pane

Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) appears at the left side of the title bar (Figure 7). The Undo, and Next commands are located here, along with other customizable options. The QAT makes it easy to get to the commands you use most frequently because this toolbar remains visible at all times. To add other commands, right-click on any ribbon icon and select Add to Quick Access Toolbar. For example adding the Solver Active and Solver Inactive buttons to the QAT will make the solver controls readily available without having to navigate to the Home ribbon tab. Figure 7. Quick Access Toolbar

Setting Preferences
To set preferences, open the File menu and click on Options in the bottom right corner as shown in Figure 8 (in the old user interface global preferences were set from the Tools).

Figure 8. Setting Preferences

The Zoom Controls

There are a set of Zoom controls on the lower right side of the main window. Moving the slider adjusts the zoom level. Click the (+) or (-) buttons to zoom the active window in or out by 10%, click the zoom fill button to maximize the view in the available space, or click the zoom factor to select a preset zoom level. The zoom bar acts on the process flowsheet, most forms, and on plots (Figure 9).

Figure 9. Zoom Controls

Copy and Paste, Drag and Drop

Grid forms in the new Aspen HYSYS user interface support copy/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/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. 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.

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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 Case

Open 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.

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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 Environment

All 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 contain 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 a component list from Aspen Properties, 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).

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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).

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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 Flowsheet

With 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.

11

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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 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 input entered 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).

12

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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).

13

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

Figure 18. Complete Stream Specification

Specify Composition Manually

Click on the Composition form in the Worksheet list. Type a value into any cell and the Input Composition form will appear. On the right you can select which unit of data to enter and on the bottom you can use the controls to erase or normalize values entered. Type the values for each component in the cell next to their names (Figure 19).

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

Figure 19. Input Composition Form

Define from Other Stream

You also have the option to define a streams conditions from another stream. Click the Define from other stream button on the stream form to enable this. Choose which stream to transfer from in the Available Streams box. You can transfer all data from another stream or choose specific information to transfer (Figure 20).

Figure 20. Define from Other Streams

15

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

Specify Unit Operations

Double click on any unit to open the form. You will see that the status indicator, as well as the object itself, is red. Add connections for input and output on the Design > Connections tab. Then move to the Design > Parameters tab to specify size, pressure drop, duty, and whatever else is required for that particular unit. See below for more details.

Step 1. Add Connections

Add Connections using the unit operation Form Click inside the Inlets grid and type the name of the inlet stream. Repeat for Vapor and Liquid Outlets. This is one way to create and connect a stream (Figure 21).

Figure 21. Add Connections from the Input Form Add Connections on the Flowsheet Click the blue arrow on the palette to select it. Click on the flowsheet 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

16

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

complete. You must specify enough parameters so that the flowsheet has zero degrees of freedom and can solve.

Flowsheet Controls
While 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 Orientation

These controls are on the left side of the flowsheet ribbon (in previous versions they were found in the right-mouse-button menu).

Managing Connections
Attach Mode 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) Select a stream or object that you would like to connect to a unit that you will add. The stream will automatically be connected as the input to that operation. For a connected object a 17

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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 Hierarchy
In 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 parent, this may cause some objects in the subflowsheet to be temporarily unsolved. Use the View Parent Ribbon button to navigate back to the main flowsheet.

Figure 25. Example of Flowsheet Hierarchy

Display Options
Use the features in this category to change the color schemes for the process flowsheet and workbook tables and to hide or display objects and tables. An example of one of the PFD color schemes, Temperature, is shown in Figure 26.

The Flowsheet Right-Mouse-Button (RMB) Menu

The right-mouse click menu allows you to perform all of the standard commands such as cut, copy, paste, and delete objects. It also contains a number of extended functions such as Import/Export, open a form as a new tab, and change the operations icon (Figure 27).

Figure 27. The Flowsheet RMB Menu

Layered Products and New Integrated Capabilities

A 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).

20

Jump Start: Activation in Aspen HYSYS V8

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 Models

Now 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 autosize 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 update 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 input 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. Figure 31. Petroleum 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 Operations

Aspen 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.
