This document discusses how Aspen Simulation Workbook (ASW) enables model-based decision support for plant optimization. ASW integrates process simulation models from tools like Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS with Microsoft Excel, allowing non-experts to leverage rigorous models. It describes features of ASW like scenario analysis, linking models to plant data, and supporting dynamic models. The document also provides case studies of companies using ASW to improve operations, reduce costs, and make better decisions through model-based support.
