About

The FOSSEE (Free and Open Source Software for Education) project based at IIT Bombay is conducting a workshop on DWSIM, an open source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator, an alternative to Aspen Plus. It runs on Windows in native mode, and Linux and Mac OS X through Mono. DWSIM is useful to teach the Principles of Chemical Engineering. It is also useful to solve industrial problems. The workshop provides an opportunity to legally download for free, install and learn DWSIM. You can also download Textbook Companions from here and practice them online or offline.

We recommend all participants to bring their laptops to install DWSIM (legally) and to get familiarised. We also invite you to bring your flowsheeting problems to try out.

Registration



We welcome all students and faculty from academic institutions and professionals to attend this workshop and benefit. We also request you to bring this to the attention of others (former students and colleagues) who may be interested.

We have limited number of seats available, please register early to avoid disappointment.
