Honeywell UniSim Design Suite R500 is a comprehensive process simulation and modeling software platform designed for engineers in industries such as oil and gas, refining, petrochemicals, and chemicals. It enables the creation of both steady-state and dynamic models for plant design, optimization, safety studies, operations monitoring, debottlenecking, digital twins, and business planning—all within a unified environment. This release (R500) builds on the UniSim EvOlution platform, offering improved performance for on- and offline applications, making it easier to capture process experience, enhance plant profitability, and maximize return on simulation investments.
Key Features
- Steady-State and Dynamic Modeling: Supports rigorous simulations for process design and optimization under the same interface, dramatically improving workflow efficiency.
- Advanced Solvers: Includes the proprietary NOVA solver via UniSim EO (Equation-Oriented) environment, capable of handling hundreds of thousands of equations with up to 1,000 degrees of freedom for large-scale processes.
- Optimization Tools: UniSim Optimize for process-wide optimization; UniSim ExchangerNet for heat exchanger network design, pinch analysis, and cost optimization (including operational monitoring).
- Heat Exchanger Suite: Tools for designing, simulating, and rating equipment like shell-and-tube, air-cooled, and plate-fin exchangers, with over 35 years of industry collaboration.
- API and Integration: Modern UniSim API (compatible with Python and .NET) for custom extensions; UniSim AltView for no-code visualizations.
- Applications: Ideal for equipment sizing, safety analysis, digital twin monitoring of plant performance and reliability, and meeting operational/business objectives.
