AVEVA Process Simulation

Designed from the ground up, SimCentral Simulation Platform was created to enable the next generation of engineers and deliver the process side of the Digital Twin.

A Digital Twin for Your Entire Process Plant Lifecycle

SimCentral Simulation Platform is an innovative, integrated platform that covers the complete process engineering lifecycle of design, simulation and training, so delivering the process side of the Digital Twin.

SimCentral comprises the first commercially available platform taking advantage of the development of web-based and cloud technologies, in order to deliver an enjoyable user experience. This will enable engineers to be more productive, collaborative, creative and inspired.

Enable the Future of Plant Process Simulation

Plants are becoming increasingly more complex and more integrated. Enterprises bring new processes and products to market at a faster rate. Engineering departments are global, and Engineering Managers are required to respond to changing conditions, while at the same time onboarding a new generation of engineers. SimCentral Simulation Platform has been designed from the ground up to deliver all the benefits of Digital Transformation to your business.

Lifecycle Simulation

Design, Rating and Dynamics modes allow you to reuse the same simulation over all engineering phases, within a single model.

Faster Adoption

A single, easy-to-use interface allows you to replace up to 50 programmes used in a typical process-engineering department.

Increase Collaboration

Adjust the engineering workflow with concurrent use by a process, control, utility and mechanical engineers.

Retain Top Talent

Transform engineering so that it entails more creative problem-solving – and less button pressing.

A Single Platform for Supporting the Process Model Lifecycle

Conceptual Design

Make use of the fast evaluation of design alternatives with flexible specifications and continuous solving to find the optimal design.

Feed

Specify optimal equipment through the modelling of interacting systems and the direct population of the engineering database.

Detailed Engineering

Discover the optimal set point, with smooth, dynamic simulation and design for controllability.

Start-up

Facilitate rapid trouble-shooting through operator training simulation and integrated DCS logic.

Operations

Minimise downtime by running debottlenecking and process improvement studies using the same model in flow-driven or pressure-driven modes.

Capture Corporate Knowledge by Creating Process Models

A next-generation process simulation platform can assist you in designing new processes and first-of-its-kind plants. SimCentral Simulation Platform’s intuitive modelling features help engineers to focus on the problem, act fast and share results.

Capture Corporate Knowledge by Creating Process Models

Ease of Use

Pioneering ease of use with an intuitive, responsive interface based on contemporary standards like undo/redo and notification badges.

Cloud Access

Transcend IT constraints with native cloud accessibility and enjoy the advantages of parallel computing power.

Library Approach

Enhance the model quality and reuse through the sharing of custom models in protected libraries.

Unified Engineering

Facilitate multi-discipline collaboration with the smooth flow of information, from one single data hub.

Steady State and Dynamics

Adjust modes at any time and in any direction among flow-driven, steady-state mode (Process), pressure-driven rating (Fluid Flow) as well as Dynamics.

Powerful Thermodynamics

Integrate industry-standard thermodynamic methods and component databases.

Open Modelling

View the underlying equations and extend them by using proprietary knowledge, or create completely new models without any programming.

Equation-oriented Solver

Solve flow-sheet models fast and efficiently, using state-of-the-art numerics solved continuously.

Transform the Way Your Teams Function

Collaboration should be a smooth process, even when engineers are separated by time zones, experience or areas of speciality. SimCentral is designed for collaboration, with features such as cloud access and user roles. SimCentral allows engineering teams to become more flexible and increasingly aware of their impact on the big picture.

Empowering Engineering Firms

Deliver your projects faster and with increased efficiency, while increasing asset utilisation and customer satisfaction.

Equipping Operating Companies

Ease your workforce’s learning curve by consolidating many tools into one, unified solution, one that meets the expectations of the next-generation workforce.

Point Solutions Consolidated to a Single Platform

Substitute up to 50 programmes used in a typical process-engineering department with just one, simple-to-use interface. Perform activities in the same master simulation – your process’s Digital Twin.

Chemical Distillation

Design distillation columns with just one simulation for design, relief and controls.

Steam Balances

Substitute complex spreadsheets with an easily specified, maintainable flow sheet.

Heat Exchanger Tube Rupture

Predict the pressure surge in piping and low-pressure equipment.

Flare Systems

Unite process dynamic simulation and flare network analysis, for the proper sizing of flare systems.

Column Relief

The steady-state process design simulation can be applied for dynamic flare relief without the need for creating another, separate model.

Steam System Dynamic Studies

Utilise only one, integrated model for both dynamics and steam balances.

Pressure Surge

Use a consistent platform for performing water hammer and pressure surge analyses.

Pressure Surge

Use a consistent platform for performing water hammer and pressure surge analyses.

Compressors

Simulate compressors for process design, transient operations and equipment rating.

Flexible deployment tailored to your needs

SimCentral Simulation Platform is used by plant owner-operators, EPC firms, R&D departments, universities, consultants and more. Every group has its own, unique business model and licensing requirements. We offer SimCentral as a traditional, on-premise installation, or it can be used as a pure cloud service with flexible licensing options.

AVEVA’s cloud services make possible new levels of collaboration, productivity and efficacy across the operational and engineering lifecycles. Access becomes easily scalable – without any IT footprint as projects ramp up-and-down.
