I assume you're interested in external subroutines. Please see the attached manual..hope it helps.

@Brian Hanley

Thank You very much for your answer, Yes i meant external subroutine. More precisely how to configure Aspen Plus for Intel Fortran Compiler with Microsoft Visual Studio as linker. It is described in above attachment but i could not understand how to specify the combination of compiler and linker  by using Aspen Plus utility. Is there any other Manual describing these linking and configuring steps in detail. I have model in Fortran but i don't know  how to implement in Aspen Plus.

Thank You

Ejaz,

Your best bet would be to go to the Aspen support website. There, you can find virtually every manual in digital form.

http://support.aspentech.com/

Or, you can contact support. they can lead you through the process far better than I can since I rarely use these features.

Eijaz Haider...i am also in need of some help regarding linking up of Aspen Plus to Visual basic files...can anyone help..

@ Brian Hanley......hello.can u plz help me in solving my problem regarding linking up of Aspen Plus with visual basic. i have gone through the user manual provided by aAspen Plus for ultrafiltration. i have done that but i want to implement same for pervaporation process but not able to do that. can u plz help me.

@ Asma

Did you try Aspen Tech Support, I have been through a process of linking Aspen with Fortran which i can help. Whatever you need to do is possible with both Fortran or visual basic. I think you use Excel as an interface if you want to connect with visual basic.

thanks Ejaz Haider.....plz send some notes about aspen plus and fortran...i will be highly obliged to you.

I believe the book

"Design and Control of Distillation Systems for Separating Azeotropes"

By Luyben and I-Lung Chie

contains an Aspen custom modeler subroutine for pervaporation membrane

@Brian Hanley...it conatins a chapter related to pervaporation but that doesn't explain anything related to its simulation procedure.

Looks like the ACM pervaporation model is on page 434.

@Brian....yeah it is somehow discussed there...but i am not able to get it fully..

@Ejaz Haider...you have done fortran programming for this problem.. can you please have a look on page 434 of this book....do i have to follow the same...help me in this regard plzz.

@Asma

I looked at page 434, it looked like it is written in c++. It does not matter how you customize the Aspen Plus. You need to have model equations and understanding of it. You can use Fortran, custom modeler or VBA to customize. 

what is customization???

customization is to develop unit operation models in aspen plus according to your own desire and specification

okk...what is the procedure of it..

Please... People who had done this before should be prefer solution and not otherwise.. I'm in similar situation

Asma Iqbal where you able to do the ultrafiltration example without errors.. I have tried it. II had errors

@samuel

where u facing error ?

@Samuel. i haven't done it fully... on which problem u have to actually work..

im so sorry for replying late @Mustafa and @ Asma I'm sorry for replying late @Mustapha and @Asma thanks so much.. I have figured it out.I edited the configure.cfg file. I just changed the version of ivf to the one installed on my  system and also the version of visual studio installed. Which was ivf _16 and vs_v12 

Can anyone please explain more in detail how you could do this configuration? Samuel how did you edit the configure file?

@ Maryam

Which level are you on establishing a link.

@Ejaz

I have installed the compiler and visual studio and I have my code in Fortran siffix. How should I add the compiler and visual studio to that compiler.cfg file?

Do you know the location of compiler.cfg file, i tried to edit that file too, but it is very difficult to edit with right combination, Aspen guy gave the new "compiler.cfg" file which i replaced with the old one and it worked, so if you know the location then i can send you the file. Please save the original one somewhere and then replace it with the new one and try your luck.. :)

 I got the file from Aspen guy. Thanks 

@Ejaz Haider , Could you please send me Compiler.cfg? and What is new version of Intel visual fortran? and what are other programms required for this linking?

Hi

did anyone have any doc about user manual models in newer version of aspen(9 or 10),because i cant find simulation engine program for compiling files. how can i compile file in version 9 or 10?

Ejaz Haider Can u please provide me the compiler.cfg file. I will be highly obliged.

I had same issue recently after I changed my system and it took me more than a month to solve it.. 

Let’s talk about the solutions.

What version of intel FORTRAN and Visual Studio are you using.

That will help me to provide you with a solution

I am using intel parallel studio xe 2019. Are able to completely compile the getting started customizing Unit operation Models manual of ultrafiltation in aspen plus?

Yes I have done that already

Fortran 12.0x 2015 and intel also 2015

Like I said earlier I had issue when I first attempted to compiler and I resolved it just by editing the cfg file but after I changed my system it was more difficult. But after rigorous work I came up with a solution. which I will attach to this comment. Open the cfg file and read through.

Tell me if you understand what I explained. I put enough comment in the file so that I can remember how I came about the solution and also to help others understand how the solution was obtained.

Open it with notepad and read thoroughly.

If you have any question please do not hesitate to ask @ Udit Choundhary

My ifort.cfg file is empty.

From the Aspen folder in the installation folder, you should be able to locate compiler.cfg

All my compiler shows error message and the othe error is ifort.exe is not found.

Can you open the compiler.cfg at the Engine\Xeq\compiler.cfg

The error you have is because the version of the intel fortran and visual studio is not present in the compiler.cfg

yes I open it compiler.cfg now what to do?

This one now please tell me the next step.

Hold on

The version you have is "Fortran 12.0x 2015 and intel also 2015"

Can you edit the last one that says intel fortran 15/2015 and Microsoft Visual Studio 10/2010. as visual studio 14/2015

Or better still, share with me the compiler.cfg (the original one in the folder) you have and I will edit it for you and see how it goes from there

please give me your email id. I will mail it to you.

my email is [email protected]

But you can attach it here as well.

This is the file.

try this out

Not working. What i thinking is to again install all the software aur install v10 of aspen plus.

can you please give me intel fortran 2018 software

Same problem nothing happen.

Same Error. Nothing happened.

Which operating system are you using for compilation Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 or XP?

Dear researchers, I could successfully link Aspen with Fortran, and customized Aspen with user kinetics Fortran subroutine. Following file may help you to learn Fortran syntax for Aspen. Thanks

thank you
