CAE IN PROCESS-CONTROL ENGINEERING

The design and operation of chemical engineering plants involves collaboration of various specialist departments over a long period in an interative sequence of steps. Any change in data in any of the necessary iterative steps can generate expensive errors. The aim of computer application and computerized development is thus basically to improve the integration of the various applications. Technical data processing, especially the use of CAD/CAE systems, therefore provides a framework for a whole group of measures intended to provide tools for medium-term automatic handling of data and re-use of partial solutions in memory.
