Aspen Adsorption Additional Requirements
Software Requirements
Requirements Notes
Intel Fortran 9.0, 9.1,10, 10.1,11.0, 11.1, or12.0
Required for customer development of Fortranprocedures.
Note: Intel Fortran Composer XE 2011 includes IntelFortran 12.0.
Aspen Basic Engineering AdditionalRequirements
Hardware Requirements
64-bit Version of Aspen Basic Engineering Server
Starting from V7.3, Aspen Basic Engineering has a separate DVD containing
the 64-bit installation media. The 64-bit version includes a native 64-bit
Aspen Basic Engineering server as well as the 32-bit client applications. The64-bit Aspen Basic Engineering server is required by customers with very
large workspaces and allows the server process to essentially growunlimitedly (up to 8000 GB) to address as much memory as is available on
the server machine. The 64-bit DVD can be used for server only or standardinstallations on 64-bit operating systems.
For 32-bit operating systems, use the standard aspenONE installation DVD.
Server Hardware
Resource Requirements
CPU 1 GHz minimum (2 to 3 GHz recommended).
The Aspen Basic Engineering Server combined with Oracle
does not perform well on a machine with less than a 1 GHzclock speed. (Oracle or SQL Server is required to run AspenBasic Engineering, see Software Requirements below.) Thereare two modes you can use:
Two-tier mode: (RDB Server and Aspen Basic EngineeringServer run on the same host). (Follow the Relational
Database (RDB) product guidelines for additional system
requirements and add these to the overall Server systemrequirements if possible.) The RDB, especially Oracle,combined with the Aspen Basic Engineering Server will notperform well on a machine with less than a 1 GHz clockspeed. At least 2 GHz is recommended.
Three-tier mode: (the RDB exists on a separate PC). TheRDB does not greatly influence the middle tier hosting theAspen Basic Engineering Server other than some additionalmemory to operate its cache on the middle tier. You shoulduse a fast LAN connection between the Aspen Basic

Engineering Server and RDB Server Aspen Basic EngineeringV7.3 exploits multiple processor server hardware. Addingadditional processors can improve server response times.
Note: AZServer is extremely memory and CPU hungry – werecommend using a modern, fast dedicated machine for theserver.
Physical Memory 2 GB RAM minimum (4 GB recommended)
Note: Large workspaces (for example,1000 equipmentitems) can occupy up to 2 GB of memory each. If the servermachine is being used for multiple large projects, it shouldhave enough physical memory for all workspaces as well asother processes. Rule of thumb:
Physical memory requirement = 2GB + nw x 2GB where nw= the maximum number of workspaces runningsimultaneously.
Hard Disk Space 2 GB (recommended)
DVD Drive

One of these Relational Databases is required to run AspenBasic Engineering V7.3 to operate as a transactioned backingstore (the contents of these cannot be designed to be queriedby the user). These products can be installed before or afterinstalling Aspen Basic Engineering. The RDB software can beinstalled either on the Aspen Basic Engineering Server hostmachine, or on a separate machine on the same local area
network.
For Oracle, you must install Oracle OLEDB Client on the Aspen
Basic Engineering Server host machine.
Important Note: Only a correct and corresponding Oracledriver/client should be used in conjunction with the Oracleserver.Never mix Oracle client/driver versions and server versions
Severe maloperation can result by mixing driver and RDBMSversions from different Oracle installations.
Microsoft Access(optional, not availableon 64-bit operatingsystems)
Note: Aspen Basic Engineering installations can be tested withMicrosoft Access, especially on a Standard install where theserver and client are installed on the same machine. It can beused for some customization work that can be doneindependently of the final deployment environment. MicrosoftAccess must not be used in the deployment of Aspen Basic
Engineering onto engineering projects for reasons of datasecurity in a transactioned environment.

guidelines, see "Checking Aspen System Requirements."
Ensure the server and client machines use TCP/IP communication andhave the appropriate network access in both directions.
Ensure the server and the user PCs have the proper name resolution
present so that the user PCs recognize the server name entered at runtime.
Ensure that the users of Aspen products have Windows accounts that are
valid on the application server.

Aspen Exchanger Design andRating Installation NotesV7.3.1 Exchanger Design and Rating (EDR) will not co-exist with the V7.3version of Exchanger Design and Rating. This means installing V7.3.1 EDR
will “upgrade” the V7.3 version if it was installed previously. V7.3.1 EDR canalso be installed on a machine where V7.3 EDR was never installed. The
installer therefore functions in 2 modes:
Mode 1 (“Upgrade” Installation): if V7.3 EDR has been installed, theinstaller will detect this and upgrade the V7.3 EDR installation toV7.3.1.
Mode 2 (“Full” Installation): if V7.3 was not previously installed on amachine, the installer will detect this and perform the necessaryfunctions to complete a full V7.3.1 installation.
In order to activate the V7.3.1 EDR installation, please select thefollowing option within the Aspen Tech Installation Browser - “AspenEngineering (for Upgrade)”:

2. If you have other AspenTech V7.2 products that depend on Aspen
Properties V7.2, Aspen Properties V7.2 will be left alone and AspenProperties V7.3 will be installed .
Aspen Economic EvaluationInstallation NotesV7.3.1 Economic Evaluation will not co-exist with the V7.3 version of Economic Evaluation. This means installing V7.3.1 EE will “upgrade” the V7.3
version if it was installed previously. Customized libraries and projects
created using V7.3 will be preserved during this upgrade. However, it is
recommended to back-up these files prior to performing this upgrade. Also,V7.3.1 EE can be installed on a machine where V7.3 EE was never installed;
thus the installer will function in two modes:
Mode 1 (“Upgrade” Installation): if V7.3 EE has been installed, theinstaller will detect this and upgrade the V7.3 EE installation to V7.3.1.
Mode 2 (“Full” Installation): if V7.3 was not previously installed on a

Aspen Online DeploymentInstallation Notes If you plan to use versions of Aspen Custom Modeler, Aspen Plus, Aspen
Model Runner, Aspen EDR, or HYSYS that are earlier than aspenONE V7.3,install them prior to installing any software from the aspenONE V7.3
suites.
The required software from the Aspen Manufacturing Suite V7.3 can beinstalled either before or after the software from the Aspen Engineering
V7.3.
A recommended implementation architecture, for a productionenvironment, is to use at least four different computers: one for the
engineering workstation (to build and maintain the process models andonline applications, one for the Aspen Online Deployment online
application server, one running Aspen Remote Simulation Service, andone running the Aspen APC Web Server. If you are using Aspen Local
Security, then this would typically be installed on the same machine as
the Aspen APC Web Server. The necessary simulators (Aspen CustomModeler, Aspen Plus, HYSYS, EDR) would be installed on both the
engineering workstation and on the remote simulation server.
It is strongly recommended that all computers be members of a
Domain. If the online application server is installed on a computer that is
not a member of a Domain (that is, it is instead a member of aWorkgroup), then you must install Aspen Local Security and Aspen APCWeb Browser on that same computer – this is due to the way Windows
user authentication works.
If you use the Aspen Remote Simulation Server, change the serviceproperties of the Aspen Remote Simulation Server service to log on as the
Local System account and to interact with the desktop.

Configuration file permissions: The tester verifies that the configuration
file was installed with the correct permissions.
SQL engine authentication settings: The tester reports all servers thathave at least one Aspen Properties database that is registered on this
computer. On the localhost line, it reports the authentication mode of thelocal server and whether there is any problem with it. For other servers it
cannot check this status, so it only reports what is required.
Database access settings: The tester attempts to access each registered
database and performs three tests.
o First, it verifies that it can connect to the database at all, with either a
Connection Successful message or a message indicating the error that
occurred.
o Next, it attempts to read the database as Aspen Plus or Aspen
Properties would do. This should report Granted/Successful if the
database is configured for access from these programs, orDenied/Failed otherwise. For a non-customized new installation, thedatabases APV73, NISTV73, and FACTV73 should all be accessible.
o Finally, it attempts to read the database as the Database Managerwould do. This should also report Granted/Successful or Denied/Failed
based on the security options. For a non-customized new installation,
the databases APV73, NISTV73, and FACTV73 should all be accessible.

Open Internet Explorer on the server machine and use the URL:<http://localhost/webproperties>
You should be able to access the Aspen Properties Web Interface.
From any other client machine open Internet Explorer and use the URL:
<http://your_IIS_server_name/webproperties>
You should be able to access the Aspen Properties Web Interface.
Note: If you are unable to access the Web application as specified above, the
most likely reason is the lack of adequate security privileges provided to theuser in the previous steps.
Configuring Excel for Performing PropertyCalculations
Before you can use the Excel Calculator feature to perform property
calculations with Aspen Properties from within a Microsoft Excel workbook,
you must configure Excel to use an add-in.
For detailed instructions on configuring Excel, see the Aspen Properties onlinehelp under Using Aspen Properties | Aspen Properties Excel Calculator
| Configuring the Excel Add-in.
Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version of Aspen Properties, you
must reconfigure Excel to use the new version of the add-in before Excel willuse the new version of Aspen Properties.

Aspen Remote SimulationService
Configuring Aspen Remote SimulationService
The service normally uses port 8093. You may need to change it in certaincases, such as if another program on that computer uses that port, or you
need to use a particular port to connect through a firewall. To change the port
which the service uses, edit Program Files\AspenTech\Aspen RemoteSimulation Service V7.3\server.config in Notepad.
Locate the line
<channel ref="tcp" port="8093">
And change the number to the port you want to use, for example:
<channel ref="tcp" port="8099">
Running Aspen Remote Simulation Service
(ARSS)
Aspen Remote Simulation Service™ is a component that provides a remote
execution environment for other AspenTech tools including Aspen SimulationWorkbook and Aspen Model Deployment. ARSS allows model developers todeploy models onto a server accessible to several client computers.
AspenTech simulation software must be installed on the server, but it is not
required on the client computers. This significantly reduces the installationrequirements for the client computers.
Note that any remote software interacting with ARSS should have additional
specific information necessary for its use; for instance, Aspen SimulationWorkbook includes the Aspen Remote Simulation Service Status Monitor and
documentation on how to use it.
Tip: It is a best practice to use ARSS on the same computer as the
simulation-creating software.

Troubleshooting Aspen EconomicEvaluation (Aspen Process Economic
Analyzer, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator,Aspen In-Plant Cost Estimator)
Description
Users running Microsoft Windows with Windows Installer 3.1 may experience
coexistence issues with Economic Evaluation V7.2 and previous versions as
described below:1. The following aspenONE applications are installed on a machine:
a. EEV7.2.1 (or EEV7.2), EEV7.3
b. HYSYS and/or Aspen Plus V7.2+EPs
2. Invoking the Export to EE feature in either HYSYS or Aspen Plus
invokes EEV7.2.1 (or EEV7.2) instead of EEV7.3. This may occur if none of the EE installed software versions are run after installation.
This is due to the windows installer resiliency behavior. Once the
problem occurs in one user environment, it is observed with all otherusers on that machine.
Workaround:
1. Update Windows Installer to version 4.5, which can be downloaded fromthe following site.
a. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58
b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4&displaylang=en
Note: See the installation guide on how to check which version of Windows Installer is present on your system.
2. Ensure EE V7.2.1 (or EEV7.2)/V7.3 is executed as standalone application
before invoking EE via HYSYS V7.2 (or Aspen Plus V7.2).
3. In cases where the problem occurs, an upgrade/repair installation of EE
V7.3 can be performed by running the EE V7.3 installation again. The
procedure allows the EE V7.3 to be reset as the default costing feature w/
HYSYS /Aspen Plus V7.2.
Comment: Following the steps below on the system where EE V7.3 is
installed alongside previous versions of EE can avoid the aforementioned
issues.
1. Update the Windows Installer to version 4.5

Troubleshooting Aspen Online Deployment
Aspen Online Deployment has the following special troubleshootingprocedures.
Problem An online application reports that the solver failed.
Cause This can occur for a variety of reasons, from a failure to converge on asolution to a network communication failure.
Solution In order to solve the problem, you should first examine the localapplication log. This log is found in the \Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Application
Data\AspenTech\RTE\V7.3\Clouds\Online\sys directory. The logis named with the application name and has the extension .log (forexample, the application HEATXN1 would have a log HEATXN1-solver.log); there is also a backup log file that contains older logmessages (for example, HEATXN1-solver_backup.log).
You can get more detailed information, including all the solver messages,
by turning on diagnostic logging for an application. Turn on diagnosticlogging by using the APC Web Server to set the DebugPrint entry toFileOutput. You get access to the DebugPrint entry by clicking on theapplication name in one of the online views in PCWS. The diagnostic logfiles are in the same location as the application logs, but have a nameending with “-diag.log” instead of “-solver.log”.
Note: To avoid causing further problems with the software, make a copyof the log and examine the copy.
Examine the log file to see if there is a solver problem (for example,failure to converge) or a system problem (for example, an exception anda software procedure call stack trace).
If the failure was due to a solver problem, and the application wasconfigured to save a snapshot when the solver fails, then you can usethe Aspen Online Deployment Desktop to retrieve the application
snapshot matching the failed solution; you can extract the case file fromthat snapshot, load it into the simulator desktop, and determine thereason that a solution could not be calculated.
If the failure was due to a system problem, and the cause of the problemis not clear from the error messages in the log, then contact AspenTech
Support for assistance.

The following terms and definitions are important for the installation,verification, configuration, modification, repair, and removal of Aspen
Engineering products.
Term Definition
DCOM (DistributedComponent Object Model)
DCOM is a Microsoft technology for distributedcomputing. It is an extension of Component ObjectModel (COM), which defines how components and theirclients interact. DCOM allows one client application toremotely start a DCOM server object on anothermachine and invoke its methods.
Documentation DVD The DVD that contains all documentation, help files,and so on for the aspenONE release.
OLE DB A specification for a set of data access interfacesdesigned to enable a multitude of data stores of alltypes and sizes to work together seamlessly. Theseinterfaces comprise an industry standard for dataaccess and manipulation that can ensure consistency
and interoperability in a heterogeneous environment of data and data types.
Role A grouping of logical users in order to ease themaintenance of assigning access rights. Control listsmay be assigned either to individual users, or to groupsto which users belong.
Role-Based Security Role-based security is used to authorize andauthenticate users of AspenTech applications and datasources. By assigning users to roles that define workactivities, administrators can grant security privileges tomembers of a given role instead of individual users.
Use Aspen Framework (AFW) Server or Aspen LocalSecurity (ALS) to establish roles and associate users
with them.Server installation Installs files on a central server machine.
SLM The Aspen Software License Manager
Standard installation Installs all files to the local hard drive of a computer.
