Dear,
My name is Daniel and I'm the developer of DWSIM, an open-source
chemical process simulator developed in VB.NET. DWSIM is released
under the GPL v3 license, and it is hosted at the SourceForge website
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/dwsim/).
The latest version is fully
translated to English, including do***entation (though the online help
file is not as nearly complete as the Brazilian ****tuguese version,
but the PDF manuals are the same).
DWSIM includes the most common unit operations (including reactors)
and thermodynamic packages found in commercial simulators. Still
missing are distillation towers and heat exchangers (which already are
being implemented and available through the SVN system).
You can also find in the Downloads page a simulation example file
(Cavett's problem) in order to view some of DWSIM's main features.The
source code can be compiled with Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition (a
free Visual Studio VB.NET specific version).
There is also a growing effort to make DWSIM run in Mono. Any help is
very appreciated.
Best regards,
Daniel
