SimSci-Esscor Launches Next-Generation Dynamic Process Simulation Solution
Dynsim Can Deliver Significant Gains In Engineering Productivity While Reducing Model Development Time and Costs
LAKE FOREST, Calif., May 16, 2003 -- SimSci-Esscor, an operating unit of Invensys plc, today announced the launch of Dynsim(TM), a powerful, cost-effective improvement over legacy dynamic simulators for today's process industry plants.
The product sets new standards in the process industries, enabling customers to leverage dynamic simulation model equity. Dynsim improves on current market offerings by enabling plants to use the same model in multiple applications such as process design studies, control evaluations and checkouts, operator training and operational analysis.
With less time needed by engineers to redevelop models for each application, plants can significantly reduce costs and increase engineering productivity. In addition, by incorporating the same model in each application, users also can avoid discrepancies in their data, thus realizing improvements in technical accuracy and producing reliable results.
"The introduction of Dynsim fulfills SimSci-Esscor's promise to deliver a uniquely comprehensive, yet economical dynamic simulation solution to the process industries," said Ken Brown, vice president and general manager of SimSci-Esscor. "For years we've listened carefully to customer issues concerning legacy dynamic simulation products being difficult to use and architecturally isolated. Dynsim clearly overcomes these challenges.
"Taking full advantage of modern, open software standards, this solution is an accurate, user-friendly simulator that interfaces with other important plant applications such as steady-state simulators and control system emulators, as well as enabling high fidelity operator training simulators."
Engineers and operators can use Dynsim to perform basic design studies, operational troubleshooting, control system checkouts and comprehensive evaluations of standard and emergency operational procedures. The solution powers smooth, timely response to dynamic change requirements of all kinds in the plant. It enables superior control system design and revamp with minimal risk while shortening time requirements for safe plant startup and shutdown procedures. It can routinely help prevent production interruptions while increasing plant efficiency and safety. Operators can also use it to improve emergency response procedures and prevent expensive equipment damage.
Dynsim is part of SimSci-Esscor's Dynamic Simulation Suite (DSS), which provides the full power of rigorous dynamic simulation and control emulation for plant engineers, operators, and managers. All DSS programs, including Dynsim, FSIM and TRISIM, can communicate easily among themselves, enabling seamless integration options for meeting specific plant requirements. In addition, Dynsim readily interfaces to other industry standard applications.
Dynsim is cast in SimSci-Esscor's new SIM4ME user environment, setting new standards for openness and ease of use. The SIM4ME architecture benefits from SimSci-Esscor's 35 years of experience in providing simulation and optimization products and services to the process industries. The SIM4ME environment is designed to help businesses build open computing solutions for the process industries. Based on a model-centric design, SIM4ME hosts SimSci-Esscor's comprehensive process simulation, optimization and control system emulation programs.
