This feature has been mentioned by several reviewers who find it helpful in their work.
Highly Effective Economic Evaluation: The Economic Evaluation software is highly effective and reliable for estimating capital investment projects. Many users have praised this aspect of the software, highlighting its accuracy and usefulness in their evaluations.
Comprehensive Process Simulation Package: AspenONE Engineering, specifically HYSYS, is considered one of the best chemical engineering process simulation software. It offers a comprehensive package with various useful components like Hysys, AspenPlus, Flarenet, etc. Several users have expressed satisfaction with the wide range of simulation capabilities offered by the software.
Our Manufacturing and Production and Estimators deploy AspenONE Engineering in our organization. Complex manufacturing utilize it for manufacturing modelling, and they evaluate and processes more efficiently using the data from AspenONE Engineering . To make a comprehensive cost of the machinery specified by the Process team, calculators utilize the Aspen Capital Cost Estimator. I just began aiding my Effort estimation team, utilizing AspenONE Engineering to create the templates.
Pros
Patterns for each type of equipment may be created and reused.
Each cost segment, such as steel, electrical, civil, and instrumentation, has very extensive information available for examination.
I haven't come across many instructions, especially videos.
Cons
The User Guide is far too large to browse and learn from.
Documentation is detailed while also being complicated.
Any modifications that need to be made will take a long time.
Likelihood to Recommend
In enterprises where another project is tailored to the needs of the client rather than using basic tools. And where the estimate requires comprehensive cost buckets for production operations. When there is a large amount of purchasing history to enter into AspenONE Engineering in order for it to provide reliable projections. Standard equipment manufacturing enterprises are not well suited. Also, because this instrument requires time, when there are time limitation and resource or human limitations.
AspenONE Engineering is used in our Organization by our Process Engineers and Estimators. Process Engineers use it for processing simulation, and with the data received from AspenONE, they size and design the equipment. Estimators use the Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, to do the detailed estimate of the equipment designed by the Process team. I started assisting my Estimating team recently, using ACCE for making the templates.
Pros
Once an estimate is made, it can be simply copied and modified for another similar equipment estimate
ACCE can be customized per the company's requirements
Templates for each equipment style can be made and can be used repeatedly
Very detailed reporting, of each cost segment like steel, electrical, civil, instruments is available for analysis
Cons
I haven't seen many tutorials available, especially videos
User Guide is too vast to explore and learn
Reporting is detailed but is also complex at the same time.
If any changes are to be made, then it involves a lot of time.
Likelihood to Recommend
Answering where ACCE can be used - In Organizations, where each and every project is customized per customer requirements, and not just standard equipment. And where product engineering needs detailed cost buckets in the estimate. Also when there is a lot of purchase history to feed into ACCE to give accurate estimates. Not well suited for standard equipment manufacturing companies. Also when there are time crunches and resource or manpower shortages - as this tool needs time.
