To Specify the Application Type and Run Type for the New Run
Starting Aspen Plus
1From your desktop, select Start and then select Programs.
2Select AspenTech | Aspen Engineering Suite | Aspen Plus 11.1 | Aspen Plus User Interface.
The Aspen Plus Startup dialog box appears. In this simulation, use an Aspen Plus template.
3Select the Template option.
4Click OK to apply this option. The New dialog box appears.
Use the New dialog box to specify the application type and the run type for the new run. Aspen Plus uses the application type you choose to automatically set various defaults appropriate to your application.
5Select the Solids with English Units template.
The default Run Type, Flowsheet, is appropriate for this simulation.
6Click OK to apply these options.
It takes a few seconds for Aspen Plus to apply these options.
Note: If the Connect to Engine dialog box appears, see Chapter 6.
The Aspen Plus main window is now active.
