Review on DWSIM by Tory Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

User friendly Software For Process Engineering

The best feature I like about this software, as per my use in practice setting it provides excellent visual representation of reaction pathways & yields when you are working under different conditions with multiple reagents (catalysts). It helps to reduce time required for project documentation by providing accurate graphical representations which would otherwise be not possible without using other expensive tools such as ChemDraw or MarvinSketch etc., If only we had more options regarding importing data from various sources then definitely it will become easy even with beginners who have no knowledge at all related to chemistry! Definitely one should go through tutorials before attempting any operation within these modules because there may be hidden traps that require some expertise and hence might lead into mistakes if overlooked properly while learning initially. You can easily perform calculations by yourself provided your basic mathematical skillset matches up well enough with its capabilities but do make sure prior understanding of concepts being used is present so that errors aren't too many. DWSIM is easy to use and has a good interface. It also has a good help section. I have used DWSIM to model a number of chemical process plants. The software has been able to accurately predict how the process will behave. I have found DWSIM to be very reliable and have never had an issue with it. I have also used DWSIM as a tool to create a design database for a number of chemical process plants. DWSIM has been able to generate accurate design databases for the plants.
