The navigation pane shows the hierarchy of and provides access to all available forms. Environment buttons allow for
easy navigation between case properties and simulation. Contextual ribbons bring the most commonly used commands
to the surface of the workspace.
Multiple tabs can be open at once; clicking on a tab will make it the active window and will reveal contextual ribbons and
objects. Each tab displays the name of the form it contains. Sub-forms, such as a column subflowsheet, also display the
name of the parent folder or object (Figure 2).
To manage the number of tabs, you can right-click on a tab and select Close or Close All But This. If you click and drag
the tabs off of the row or right click and select Floating, they turn into freestanding forms. To create separate window
groups within the workspace, place the pointer over a window tab, then hold down the left mouse button while dragging
the pointer into one of the boxes superimposed on the workspace, as shown in Figure 3.

Click any of the tabs on the ribbon to access a set of related commands. These commands are split into groups by
common functionality.
Some groups have a small arrow button located at the bottom right corner of the group labeled the Dialog Box Launcher
(Figure 4). Clicking this button opens a dialog box with additional commands.
Some of the ribbon tabs are contextual. These tabs are only shown when the commands they contain are relevant. For
instance, the Flowsheet/Modify tab is only visible when the flowsheet is the active window. The environment ribbons
themselves are also contextual. Switching between the Properties and Simulation environments will switch to the
associated ribbon.

Environment Buttons
Aspen HYSYS has two user environments: Properties and Simulation. The environments have specialized user interfaces
for performing different tasks. The Properties environment displays all of the tasks related to configuring the underlying
physical properties associated with a model. This environment includes workflows related to finding property data,
regressing and estimating property data, and customizing the methods and models used to calculate properties.
The Simulation environment is focused on tasks related to building and using process models. It includes everything you
need to create and edit a process flowsheet, analyze a process, etc. Each environment has a unique subset of contextual
ribbons.
When switching between the two environments, the state of each is preserved, including the active ribbon tab and any
forms, plots, and other windows that may be open. Some of the forms and folders in the Properties environment have
been reorganized for easier access. Find more information on the Properties and Simulation environments in the following
sections.
On a Windows 7 machine, we recommend that you pin Aspen HYSYS to the Start Menu by right clicking on the Aspen
HYSYS item from the All Programs list and choosing Pin to Start Menu. This will make it easy to access Aspen HYSYS
directly the next time you want to open it.
When Aspen HYSYS opens, you will see the Start Page as well as Recent Cases and Get Started Materials. To create a
new case, click on New in the top, left box or File > New.

Flowsheet Controls
While you are building your flowsheet, you may find it helpful to use the controls provided on the Flowsheet/Modify
ribbon and the right-mouse-button menu of flowsheet objects (Figure 23). We will cover some of the most commonly
used functions here.
Managing Connections
Attach Mode
Using attach mode is the equivalent to holding down the control key; all available object ports will be displayed as you
move the mouse on the flowsheet.
Auto Attach
When auto attach is selected, you can do the following:
(1) Make sure all other objects are deselected and add a unit operation. When the operation is added to the
flowsheet, new streams will be defined for the input and output of that object.
(2) Before adding your unit, select a stream or object that you would like connected to it. The stream will
automatically be connected as the input to that operation. For a connected object, a dialogue box will appear
asking which stream from the first object you would like to connect to the newly added one. This is particularly
useful if you have many streams as the input to a new object, such as a mixer.

Find Object
The Find Object button, located in the Tools group of the Flowsheet/Modify tab, can be used both to locate any object
on a large flowsheet and to directly open any object form. Click on the icon from the Flowsheet ribbon to open the Object
Navigator.
Find:
Open the form for any object or group of objects. For single objects, type in the full object name. For a group of objects,
type an asterisk, a common character, and another asterisk. For instance, to open the forms for all exchangers with a
number in the 300s, click Find and type *e3* (Figure 24).
View:
Open the form for the selected object in the Unit Operations list.
Locate:
Navigate to the selected Unit Operation in the flowsheet. This command will move the flowsheet within the visible area to
the location of the selected object.
Flowsheet Hierarchy
In large complex flowsheets, such as the LNG plant in Figure 25, it is often useful to organize processes into smaller
stages. In this case, blocks represent a particular group of operations. If you double-click on any of these blocks you will
be able to enter the sub-flowsheet environment using a button at the bottom of the form. You can also right-click on the
block and use the Open subflowsheet as new tab selection. Inside the subflowsheet you will see only objects related
to that particular part of the process. If any changes are made in this environment they will not be passed to the main
flowsheet until you navigate back to the parentthis may cause some objects in the subflowsheet to be temporarily
unsolved. Use the View Parent Ribbon button to navigate back to the main flowsheet.

Energy Analysis
Activated energy analysis can be used to calculate current energy costs and potential savings; it can also automatically
generate suggestions to improve the heat exchanger network design for the flowsheet. In the Energy Analysis
Environment, you can view details of the current heat exchanger network and create custom scenarios for energy saving
designs.
Economic Analysis
The Activated Economic Analysis pane displays the relative capital cost and utility cost for the process. The reported
values are based on calculations from Aspen Process Economic Analyzer.
EDR models for Plate Fin and FiredHeater can also be embedded inside a HYSYS simulation. To utilize EDR design, choose
EDR PlateFin or EDR FiredHeater from the Model Selection dropdown list on the exchanger Parameters form.

Dynamics
Dynamic simulation mode addresses non-steady-state processes, such as plant start-up and shut-down (Figure 30). It
can be used to test control systems, monitor safety considerations, and assess performance problems. In Aspen HYSYS
Dynamics V8, controls are located on the Dynamics contextual ribbon. Converting your model from steady-state to
dynamic requires additional input on the unit operation forms. Refer to Additional Resources for more information.
