CHEN64372: Distillation System Design – HYSYS Getting Started Guide
Start HYSYS by doing one of the following:
1. From the Start > All Programs menu, select AspenTech > Process Modeling V7.3 > Aspen HYSYS >
Aspen HYSYS command.
2. Follow the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\AspenTech\Aspen Hysys V7.3\hysys.exe.
Work through the Getting Started material to start getting familiar with the concept of [steady state]
process simulation.
Your aim is to:
• familiarise yourself with HYSYS interfaces
• successfully open and save (in your own directory!) a HYSYS file
• learn how to interrogate a pre-prepared simulation case
• learn how to make changes to a pre-prepared simulation case
• start to become familiar with the Workbook feature of HYSYS
Note that AspenTech packages can only be run from University PCs (for licensing reasons). AspenTech
Process Modeling is available in B12, C32 and the Barnes Wallis Cluster.
GETTING STARTED WITH HYSYS
The Getting Started help contains instructions for a quick introduction to HYSYS by recalling a saved case
and illustrating how to navigate through HYSYS.
The main steps in this Getting Started example are:
1. Starting HYSYS.
2. View and modify a Steady State simulation case.
Note: This document is a partial transcript of the Aspen Hysys Getting Started guide for Aspen Hysys
2006.5 (file: Aspenhysysgettingstarted.chm). Images, file names and instructions have been
adapted to be compatible with Aspen Hysys v.7.3.
STARTING HYSYS
To start HYSYS:
1. Click on the Start menu in Windows.
2. From the All Programs menu, select AspenTech | Process Modeling V7.3 | Aspen HYSYS | Aspen
HYSYS command.
The HYSYS Desktop is the first thing you will see.

Note: The above view has been resized; your Desktop view should appear larger than this when initially
opened. To re-size the view, click and drag the outside border. To make the view full size, click the
Maximize icon in the upper right corner.
Now you are ready to begin working with HYSYS. The next step is to set the simulation units.
SETTING SIMULATION UNITS
Before opening the pre-built Getting Started case, you should choose the HYSYS unit set used for displaying
information. You can check your current unit set by accessing the Session Preferences from the menu bar:
1. From the Tools menu, select Preferences. The Session Preferences view then appears.
2. Click on the Variables tab. The Units page should be open by default.
The Current Unit Set is shown highlighted in the list of Available Unit Sets. The HYSYS default is SI; however
the Getting Started example has been developed in Field units.
3
3. In the Available Unit Sets group, click on Field to make it the current unit set.
4. Click the Close icon to close the Session Preferences view.
Now you are ready to recall a HYSYS case from disk.
RECALLING THE SIMULATION CASE FROM MEMORY
Included with your HYSYS package are a number of pre-built simulation cases located in the Samples
subdirectory of the HYSYS root directory. One of these cases is named Propylene Glycol Production-2.hsc
and is the example used here. To load the case:
1. Do one of the following:
– Click the Open Case icon on the toolbar.
– From the File menu, select Open then Case.
– Press CTRL O.
The Open Simulation Case view appears.
2. Use the navigator to find the Samples subdirectory.
