Process modelling environment links with CFD
Process Systems Enterprise has released a novel tool that allows users of computational fluid dynamics packages to model complex reaction systems in its gPROMS process modelling environment.
With skilled personnel entirely dedicated to the academic business, the new operation will enable PSE to provide an enhanced response to academic customers' requirements, from support and implementation issues through to questions on modelling techniques.
In addition, it will allow PSE to develop and maintain a higher profile in the academic world, with activities such as seminars, workshops and training courses to be held at universities and research institutions and academic conferences.
The development will also benefit PSE's industrial customers, many of whom have strong links with universities.
