Concurrent Engineering tightly integrates with Process Simulation—connecting validated process models with equipment design, economics, engineering deliverables, risk assessments and even 3D layouts. This unified environment ensures that every discipline works from the same source of truth, reducing rework and accelerating project decisions. Explore this interactive infographic to see how integrated workflows create a truly multidisciplinary approach.

Sweco, Europe’s leading architecture and engineering consultancy, needed a more consistent and scalable approach to cost estimation across its Industry and Energy Division in Finland.

During the early stages of a project, cost estimate accuracy is critical for success. Accurate estimates prevent budget overruns and enable better decision-making during feasibility studies—optimizing CAPEX from the earliest stages.

Process simulation tools—such as steady-state and dynamic modeling platforms—provide value far beyond traditional design and analysis. When simulation models are connected to a broader digital engineering environment, validated process data can be seamlessly reused across disciplines, supporting integrated and efficient project execution.

Aspen Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE) empowers project teams to perform integrated cost risk analyses using Monte Carlo simulations, helping ensure budget reliability for capital projects.

Optimizing chemical processes requires input from multiple disciplines – engineering, costing, safety and environmental. Evaluating these factors early in the design lifecycle significantly improves the quality of the design and reduces time spent collaborating across teams.

The upstream industry is facing the daunting challenge of producing secure, sustainable and affordable energy for the world’s current and future needs.

Accuracy in cost estimation is crucial for the success and feasibility of capital projects. Yet cost estimates often involve uncertainty and unforeseen circumstances that can negatively impact the project timeline and budget.

Process simulation, cost estimation and 3D models are crucial to engineering projects, leading to better, more accurate designs. Now imagine seamlessly integrating these disciplines into one concurrent workflow for real-time collaboration that dramatically saves time and reduces costs.
