SysCAD is a and robust process simulation software package used for the design and optimization of industrial plant systems in the minerals, chemicals, and other process industries. It allows engineers to test and refine processing techniques in a simulated environment, reducing the time and costs associated with physical trials. SysCAD integrates the analysis, development, and evaluation of plant flowsheets from conceptual design to operational details, making it an essential tool for improving plant performance and efficiency. The software is well-regarded for its flexible handling of steady-state and dynamic processing challenges, robust thermodynamic calculations, and detailed mass and energy balances. Additional features include user customization through scripting and a comprehensive range of process modeling options.
