Features Tutorials

These tutorials cover DWSIM's newer capabilities beyond the core process simulation: economic analysis, environmental analysis, AI assistance, and phase-equilibrium tooling.

Tutorials

• Techno-Economic Analysis - Estimate CAPEX, OPEX, NPV, IRR, and payback period for a process from the simulated flowsheet.

• Life Cycle Assessment - Quantify environmental impacts (GWP, AP, EP) using built-in LCA databases and the simulation mass/energy flows.

• AI Assistant - Use natural-language commands to build, modify, and analyze flowsheets with the integrated AI assistant.

• Phase Envelope - Generate, lookup, and visualize phase envelopes for streams; use the new lookup editors in the UI.
