A fantastic compilation of useful ChemE softwares! I think it quite interesting to see how software is becoming more important and even taught as part of ChemEng degrees too! Great work Emmanuel 👏
For process systems engineering julia (programming) and gProms (simulation and more) are becoming popular. Specifically for optimization GAMS and JuMP are very powerful.
The idea of talking abt matlab is great imo! Id love to hear your input on how this software is used usually. The others also, if interesting for a video.
Regarding process simulators, I have seen quite some interest lately in Aveva Process Simulator. It sort of branches out from ProII but it became its own thing and is quite good in seamlessly switching from SS to dynamics
Hi Emmanuel, good list of softwares, some of them not used in a daily basis. It would be very interesting if you can show also how to use most of them (maybe a course 😏) applied to specific cases. The most interesting will be the open source ones, of course 😂 great job, see you!
Indeed. My 2 closest schools use C++ and Matlab, but I am pretty sure they do teach Python at the community colleges near me as well. In fact one of them has JAVA, Python, AND C++. All in demand.
Interviewer: "When was the last time you used excel?" Me with 5 spreadsheets currently open on my personal laptop, 3 open on my work computer right now, and after having made a sheet last night while drunk for fun: "ummm like 5 minutes ago?"
Sir I want to know some information about the CPU & GPU of laptops that are able to run every chemical engineering software without any problems and some laptop recommendations.
Well, every is a very hard way to put it, as there are lots of software that you may be using, I'll assume general recommendations like 8gb ram, Intel 5 chip onwards, windows 10 etc
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy Well, I'm kinda confused about which route I should take, so I guess if your videos focus more on a specific topic with further details it could be a lot better. I appreciate your kindness.
Muchas gracias también soy mexicano acá en Holanda y llevo dos meses en universidad. Quiero quitarme la presión de los siguientes años y este video me motivo a aprender a usar excel y python. ¿Me sorprendió que el video no incluyera látex, cual es la razón?
Excel e inglés siempre deben ser tu prioridad a aprender. A lo mucho aprender a usar Google docs. Después de estar seguro que aprendiste correctamente esas dos materias entonces ahí si empezar a aprender otras materias, ya los softwares dependen de la empresa que trabajes.
Not sure I understand the point about it not being windows. Both Siemens and AB HMIs typically come with windows CE as the OS and most SCADA systems are built onto of windows.
Never been a fan of this software but gProms is sometimes used for dynamic simulations. GAMS was also used for optimisation, again not a fan of it either.
Hey Emmanuel, Im a highschool grad and trying to get into uni.... I was planning on studying chemical engg but found out my red green colour blindness can hamper my work and it wont be worth it.... IS it true ?
Well, that may be the issue in some specific industries, in which safety and hazard issues may be present. You will simply be discarded on that reason alone... But there are a LOT of fields which will allow you to be color blind and have no problem at all... For instance, may Process Engineering Roles may be ok with that!
Most likely Production Planning (PP (Production Planning)), but Ive heard about: SAP QM (Quality Management); EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) SD (Sales and Distribution) MM (Materials Management) and much more!
Not quite sure if 100% daily, but here is a great article from AICHE, it is the programming language that is used most extensively. www.aiche.org/resources/publications/cep/2021/september/step-digital-age-python
Depends on your job position! If you are into data science with ChemE, you will use it a lot, if you are programming PLC or maybe automation/Control, you may use it as well.... Maybe in optimization or so as well... In the day to day life, it may not be used at all, so itsh ard to answer this without further context
When do you use aspen hysys instead of aspen plus? I used both in my bachelors but still do not understand why one over the other or if it’s just preference
Although there is a LOT of overlap between both, HYSYS is more focused for oil&gas industry (e.g. easier generation of hypothetical comps for oil&gas assays).Aspen Plus focus is on chemical processes (highly customizable thermo). Some other features may also be differentiators such as dynamic modeling (HYSYS does it in the same GUI, Aspen Plus needs to export to A+ Dynamics), or Equation Oriented models.
truly, it is most likely that you use HYSYS or Plus depending on what they are using in your company/industry... Selection is personal, in most cases, if you are into fine chemical -> aspen plus... if you are into oil and gas, HYSYS is a better fit
