Why use this?

DWSIM is a full-featured open-source chemical process simulator for modeling steady-state and dynamic processes. It provides a flowsheet environment with unit operations, material and energy streams, thermodynamic packages, reaction models, recycle convergence, sensitivity analysis, and optimization tools.

Chemical engineers choose DWSIM when they need a capable open-source alternative to commercial process simulators for conceptual design, education, research, and process troubleshooting. Its flowsheet-based workflow supports distillation, heat exchange, reactors, separators, pressure changers, and recycle systems, while its .NET-based architecture and plugin model allow customization and integration with external tools.
