Tip: Take note of the Step Size used. When entering a step size, select a sufficiently large value such that an approximate solution can be achieved in two or three iterations. Since the Secant convergence method works best once the solution has been bracketed, a larger step size ensures that you are more likely to bracket the solution quickly. It is also recommended to try a manual change on the adjusted variable prior to running the Adjust so as to verify the relationship between the adjusted and target variables.
Do you want to start your career in process simulation and stand out as a professional engineer? Then this course is your perfect first step.
Aspen HYSYS is the leading process simulation software used in the oil, gas, and chemical industries. It is trusted worldwide to design, optimize, and troubleshoot complex facilities — saving companies millions while improving safety and efficiency. Today, the ability to use HYSYS is no longer optional; it is a core skill for engineers who want to grow in their careers.
This course is designed specifically for beginners. No prior experience with Aspen HYSYS is required. Step by step, you will learn how to:
Understand what process simulation is and why it matters
Navigate the main environments of Aspen HYSYS
Set up fluid packages and define chemical components
Build process models from scratch using common unit operations
Interpret simulation results and apply them to real engineering tasks
Our approach is hands-on and practical. You won’t just watch theory — you will build models, analyze cases, and test your knowledge with interactive quizzes throughout the course. These quizzes will help you reinforce learning and ensure you are ready to apply the skills on your own.
By the end of this course, you will:
Have a solid foundation in Aspen HYSYS
Be able to create and analyze your own process models
Gain the confidence to use HYSYS in academic projects, job applications, or professional engineering tasks
Whether you are a student, a young professional, or an engineer looking to upskill, this course will give you the knowledge and confidence to move forward.
