DWSIM is an open-source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator. It features a Graphical User Interface (GUI), advanced thermodynamics calculations, reactions support and petroleum characterization / hypothetical component generation tools. DWSIM can simulate steady-state, vapor–liquid, vapor–liquid-liquid, solid–liquid and aqueous electrolyte equilibrium processes and has built-in thermodynamic models and unit operations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWSIM ). It is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

The objective of this workshop is to create awareness about the open source process simulator DWSIM among academia and industry. This workshop will start from introduction to DWSIM and will extend to flowsheet creation and the use of some basic unit operations. This workshop will make use of Spoken Tutorials created at IIT Bombay. This workshop will present to the participants flowsheets of 100 interesting and important processes already available on DWSIM.

After attending this workshop, the participants will be able to build and simulate flowsheets using DWSIM. The workshop will help the faculty members interested in establishing process simulation labs, which can be used to offer one or more lab courses on process simulation to their students, both undergraduate and postgraduate. The proposed workshop will be useful to people from industry also.

Participation certificate will be provided to all participants.

OpenModelica is an open-source Modelica-based modeling and simulation environment intended for industrial and academic usage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenModelica). Modelica is a non-proprietary, object-oriented, equation based language to conveniently model complex physical systems containing, e.g., mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, thermal, control, electric power or process-oriented subcomponents. OpenModelica is capable of dealing with algebraic, differential, and differential algebraic equations.

The objective of this workshop is to introduce OpenModelica to academia and industry. OpenModelica, being capable of handling dynamic simulation, is useful to simulate batch processes as well. This workshop will cover basic concepts of OpenModelica. The workshop will be based on Spoken tutorials created at IIT Bombay.

After attending this workshop, participants will be able to create models and simulate them using OpenModelica. This state of the art free tool will be useful to industry and academia.

Participation certificate will be provided to all participants.
