Symmetry 2026.1: Collaborative Process Simulation Software

Symmetry 2026.1 is SLB’s process simulation platform for modeling process workflows across upstream, midstream, downstream, and new energy sectors. It integrates pipelines, facilities, and flare systems with consistent thermodynamics in a single collaborative environment, supporting steady-state and dynamic modeling .

Key New Features

Tela for Symmetry

  • AI Assistant Integration: Domain-oriented AI providing instant guidance on unit operations, calculations, variables, and workflows from the manual, knowledge base, and examples

  • Separate Package: Available through the Software Download Center with independent licensing

Thermodynamic Models

  • EOS-CG & GERG-2008: Native implementation supporting multithreading with better convergence control for dynamic simulations; EOS-CG is the standard model for carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications

Dynamics Diagnostics Tool

  • Performance Insights: Automatically identifies slow-performing unit operations and pinpoints control loops or logic elements causing slowdowns

  • Variable Tracking: Track variables throughout the simulation for deeper system behavior analysis

Workflow & Integration

  • Case Migration Helper: Bulk open and save multiple cases for transition to the built-in PFD tool

  • Amines 2 Customization: Define multiple equilibrium reaction sets within the property package

  • OPC Improvements: More efficient data exchange with reduced redundant information
