A modular framework for building, running, and optimizing process models. It provides engineers, researchers, and operators with a consistent way to represent complex plants — from thermodynamic cycles to chemical or thermal networks — using a shared model format and calculation engine.
IPSEpro Desktop application with limitless flexibility
The full-featured engineering environment for developing, analyzing, and extending models. Includes advanced editing tools, automation/scripting, and the Model Development Kit (MDK) for custom libraries.
Build, run, and optimize models for your process
Calculate heat and mass balances
Predict design and off-design performance
IPSE GO Powerful and easily accessible cloud service
The web-based platform for creating, solving and sharing process models online. Enables collaboration with teammates, partners, and clients — accessible via a web browser without need for any installation.
Create and run models directly in the browser
Share models with co-workers and clients
Access simulations anywhere without installation
One foundation Built on the same core for frictionless migration
Same engine and file format in both products. Develop models in IPSEpro, then deploy them to IPSE GO for collaboration, reporting, and operations support.
Move projects smoothly between desktop and cloud
Obtain identical results in both environments
Work in one consistent simulation framework
Outstanding Features of the Framework
Unique Coverage
IPSE separates component model development from application model development. This creates a powerful combination of flexibility and focus: maximum freedom for advanced model development, together with efficient implementation of specialized application-specific solutions.
One System Across the Plant Lifecycle
A single framework supports the entire plant lifecycle — from conceptual design and commissioning to operation, optimization, and retrofit.
One Common Core for Desktop and Cloud
IPSEpro and IPSE GO are built on the same calculation core and shared project structure. This makes it possible to move projects between desktop and cloud and ensures that you obtain identical results in both environments. You can develop models once and deploy them where they are needed
With IPSE you can:
- Calculate heat and mass balances
- Predict design and off-design performance
- Verify measurements during acceptance tests
- Monitor and optimize plant performance online
- Plan modifications and repowering of existing plant
