Diagram

Aspen Plus has two modes for displaying graphics:

• Simulation mode

• PFD (Process Flow Diagram) mode

In both modes, you can modify your process flowsheet to prepare

customized drawings for reports by:

• Adding text and graphics

• Displaying global data for streams and blocks

• Displaying stream results tables

• Adding OLE objects

In PFD mode, you can modify the flowsheet to match your plant.

For example, a single piece of equipment in the plant that is

modeled by two unit operation blocks can be replaced by a single

block in PFD mode. These changes are for display purposes and do

not affect the flowsheet you developed to model your process.

In this chapter, you will use PFD mode to generate a plant diagram

from the process flowsheet you used in the MCH simulation. You

can use the file created in Chapter 3 or the simulation that was

saved in the Examples folder when you installed Aspen Plus.

Allow about 20 minutes for this example.
