user interface subcomponent. After the installation is complete,
start the Aspen Plus user interface on the user PC and specify the
server location of the Aspen Plus simulation engine.
To provide the user the option of running the simulation engine
either locally or remotely, install the simulation engine on the user
PC, along with the user interface.

If you install both Aspen Plus and Aspen Properties on the same
computer, the second program installed registers the location of
CAPE-OPEN Thermo components.
If you uninstall the second program, the remaining program may
not be able to access these components.
If this is the case, run the CAPE-OPEN Registry Fixup Utility to
re-register the CAPE-OPEN components so that the remaining

If you are using a file server installation, check you have shared
the relevant drive or folder so that the software is accessible by
the user PCs.
If you are installing on a file server, remember that whenever
you map from the user PC to the file server, you must use the

Prioritizing Server
Resources
The Server Order enables you to specify the order in which the
WebModels Server prioritizes server resources for a selected
application.
For example, if Server_1 is faster than Server_2, you might
want to put Server_1 at the top of the list. WebModels will
attempt to use this server first, when using the associated
application to try to run a simulation. Should that server be
unavailable, WebModels will attempt to use the next server in the
list until it succeeds in securing resources to run the requested
simulation.
To prioritize server resources for a given application:
1 In the console tree click the Server Order folder to display its
details.
2 In the details pane select the application in the left column.
3 Select the server in the right column and click the Up and
