AspenPythonInterface

AspenPythonInterface

Aspen Plus to Python interface for the automation of the process synthesis. This API can be used for most equipment inside of the Aspen Plus system. The library consists of around 5000 lines of code which are made up of many smaller functions which each are able to set or get some value in the aspen plus user interface. It is based on the automation server which aspen plus has implemented together with the variable manager. Please read the documentation report if you plan to work with it.

Aspen Plus 到 Python 的接口，用于过程合成的自动化。该 API 可用于 Aspen Plus 系统内的大多数设备。该库包含约 5000 行代码，由许多较小的函数组成，每个函数都能够设置或获取 Aspen Plus 用户界面中的某个值。它基于 Aspen Plus 实现的自动化服务器以及变量管理器。如果您打算使用它，请阅读文档报告。
