What is DWSIM?

DWSIM

DWSIM is a cool tool for both chemical engineering students and professional chemists. It lets you run simulations to better understand chemical phenomena. The best part? You can do all this without spending a dime!

Features of DWSIM

This software isn’t just about running simulations; it can also generate compounds and perform data regression analysis. It comes with lots of thermodynamic models and unit operations for you to work with, plus a bunch of tools that help manage reactions or create components.

Popular Property Packages

You’ll find some popular property packages like Peng-Robinson, Chao-Seader, Grayson-Streed, Ideal Gas, UNIFAC, Soave-Redlich-Kwong, Lee-Kesler, and many more at your fingertips. These help you get accurate results in your experiments.

Schematic Representation

The simulator makes it easy to manage material streams and design schematic representations of the entire mechanism using a rich object library. Once you're done, you can send your results to the clipboard and paste them as an image in other programs.

Error Detection & Customization

Worried about mistakes? DWSIM has automatic error detection! Plus, you can customize parameters for each item and calculate pH levels for all compounds.

Advanced Calculations

You can view properties of pure components and calculate critical points. DWSIM even allows for hydrate calculations and thorough sensitivity analyses along with multi-variate optimizations.

Distillation Curves & Compound Creation

This software helps generate distillation curves for petroleum characterizations too! You can create new compounds for experiments alongside existing ones. It's also useful for performing data regression studies on two compounds using various thermodynamic models—this way you get graphs that can be exported to other applications easily.

Scripting Capabilities

If you're into programming, you'll love the built-in script editor that supports Lua and Python! Plus, there's a report generator that gives you an overview of your experiment details.

An Educational Tool

DWSIM provides users with a complete suite for running chemical experiments in a virtual setting. It’s perfect for students wanting to practice independently or as a valuable educational tool used in classes.
