CHEOPS: A tool-integration platform for chemical process modelling and simulation

Life Cycle Simulation for a Process Plant based on a Two-Dimensional Co-Simulation Approach

“…The work of Schopfer et al (2004) is an example of this approach. One solution is to describe the model behavior in a common mathematical language (e.g.…”

Towards computer-aided multiscale modelling: An overarching methodology and support of conceptual modelling

“…The result of CAPE-OPEN has been vital for the improvement of openness in commercial process modelling software, and for the development of open simulation platforms such as CHEOPS (Schopfer et al, 2004). In some other areas such as biological systems modelling (e.g.…”

Towards computer-aided multiscale modelling: A generic supporting environment for model realization and execution

“…The overall software design of MES has adopted a component-based approach to integrate software possibly developed by different vendors and even run on different computational platforms. This has been the approach of CAPE-OPEN (Braunschweig et al, 2000) and CHEOPS (Schopfer et al, 2004): A set of standard software interfaces is defined so that tools to be integrated either support the interfaces "natively" or are linked to the MES by wrappers that implement the interfaces. Similarly, standard interfaces are also defined for the "native" components of the MES, namely the coordinator and the inter-scale software components to achieve the interchangibility between different implementation options.…”

“…In this regard, the component-based approach adopted by the process engineering community via the CAPE-OPEN initiative (Braunschweig et al, 2000) is particularly relevant. The result of CAPE-OPEN has been vital for the improvement of openness in commercial process modelling software, and for the development of open simulation platforms such as CHEOPS (Schopfer et al, 2004). A more recent application of CAPE-OPEN standards is reported by Zitney (2010), where an advanced process engineering software tool, termed a "co-simulator", has been developed which supports the integration of steady-state process simulation with other multiphysics-based equipment simulations (e.g.…”
