Invensys Operations Management has released a new medium-fidelity simulation solution, SimSci-Esscor DYNSIM Checkout.
Available as part of the new DYNSIM 4.5 software release, the solution provides the industry with a new way to identify, validate and resolve control and safety application design errors throughout the project life cycle, Invensys says.
The new SimSci-Esscor DYNSIM Checkout also addresses plant operator process-familiarisation needs and clears obstacles like late-arriving design information.
According to Invensys, medium-fidelity simulation provides a library of unit-operation models (valves, pumps, conveyers and reactors) similar to high-fidelity models, but requires far fewer engineering hours and less specialised expertise to configure and tune.
The models can be auto-generated using plant life cycle management software that features intelligent piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID), shortening the time it takes to construct the model, according to Invensys.
The SimSci-Esscor medium-fidelity simulation solution also requires less design data to complete the model, with P&ID and process flow diagrams being the key required information, the company says.
