Aspen Plus

[Dastur12]

Is Aspen Plus a software that you can download on your personal computer at home and practice it? I was thinking of buying it and learning it. I did not get enough chance to learn it at school. And now I have graduated but still interested to learn. And since it is an important tool in industry

You cant legally get your hands on Aspen+ (or HYSYS etc) for free. Try chemshare/winsim). Here you can get a 14 days free trial i think. Its the same principle - but of course the gui is different.

Aspen+ will set you back around 50,000$ i think in that range anyway.

I would recommend to evaluate the list in this page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_process_simulators

there are many good tools available with both a graphical interface and not, I would presume you are a chemeng, the best you can do is to download free/trial copies and make your own opinion about features, costs etc.

There are no legal free trail copy of Aspen to the best of my knowledge. Academics may be able to get free or very cheap copies.
