The roots of CHEMCAD trace back to 1967, when the software was originally developed with US Navy funding under the name CHESS (Chemical Engineering Simulation System) at the University of Houston, as part of a US government-sponsored project to develop process simulation software for synthetic fuels. This early foundation laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most trusted names in chemical process simulation.

Modeling complex processes like supercritical solvent extraction (e.g., hemp oil processing). Operational Training:
Clicking on a stream in legacy simulators often opens a dense, multi-tabbed grid of 100+ properties. NXT replaces this with a . | Module | Primary Function | | :---
Supports detailed sizing and rating based on industry-standard design methods.
Provides the baseline models required to build high-fidelity operator training simulators (OTS). 3. Equipment Design and Sizing (CC-THERM) Users are strongly encouraged to switch to ChemCAD
Engineers often ask: Why choose ChemCAD NXT over Aspen Plus or HYSYS?
