“Engineers using AspenTech simulation tools should find Aspen Search extremely useful in many ways. The most obvious benefit of Aspen Search may be its use as a tool for getting a good head-start on new work by first searching, finding, and evaluating existing models. They can also use it to easily track their own models as well as package them for access by other end-users. It stores all of our process data, information, and domain expertise, and ensures that we can re-use this institutional knowledge across the organization. Aspen Search sets a new standard for tools that improve engineering productivity.”

Manolis Kotzabasakis, Executive Vice President, Products, AspenTech
