TAILORED WORKSPACES—OPTIMIZED FACILITY
Troubleshooting Simulation Performance

Simulation cases can easily grow in complexity as we improve the fidelity of the case or add more unit operations to the overall model. This can have an impact on the performance of the case particularly if we have many recycles and controllers. The Symmetry process software platform offers many alternatives to speed up simulation cases.

Volume Flows - Who's Who?

There are many ways of defining a Volume Flow (standard liquid, standard gas, actual stream conditions); but only one is correct depending on the engineering application. The objective of this article is to guide you in choosing the right option by understanding the different Volume Flow definitions and how to make Volume specifications for bulk or phase flows in the Symmetry process software platform.

Bridging the Symmetry Process Software Platform’s Field and Pipe Workspaces with Network Designer

To improve the efficiency of the workflow when creating large gathering system models from shapefiles, the Network Designer has been developed. This tool is found in the Symmetry process software platform’s Pipe workspace and incorporates the powerful GIS features from the Field workspace. 

Multisided Heat Exchanger Capabilities

The Symmetry process software platform includes a comprehensive offering for simulating these types of unit operations in steady state and dynamics with varying degrees of fidelity. This article describes the main features available along with the tradeoffs and considerations required to specify them.


We are pleased to announce that our 6th Annual Japan User Conference will be held in Okinawa on March 4 & 5, 2020.

Join us at our hospitality event on Tuesday, April 21 at the upcoming GPA Midstream Convention to learn more about the Symmetry process software platform.

Stay tuned for more exciting details about upcoming advancements in Symmetry!
