Latest software from IPS enables powerful multiphase flow

simulation from within the SIM4ME® Portal
AUGUST 4, 2008/PLANO, TEXAS - Invensys Process Systems (IPS), a global technology, software
and consulting firm, has released the newest version of SimSci-Esscor’s INPLANT™ simulation
software, a program that rigorously simulates multiphase flow in plant utility and relief networks.
INPLANT version 4.1 provides the power and flexibility to model applications ranging from a
depressuring study of a single vessel to the design and rating of a complete cooling water network
for an entire refinery or petrochemical plant. The latest version of INPLANT software now
incorporates the recently introduced SimSci-Esscor SIM4ME Portal, which enables the use of INPLANT
software via a Microsoft Excel interface.

The SIM4ME Portal constructs a simple, bidirectional communication link between the steady-state
simulator, SimSci-Esscor’s INPLANT, PIPEPHASE™ or PRO/II™ simulation software, and a Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet. The SIM4ME Portal enables developers to create an Excel spreadsheet that is INPLANT
aware, allowing users to execute an INPLANT simulation from within an Excel software application.

“By combining the SIM4ME Portal with INPLANT software, we make it very easy to create custom
interfaces in the Excel spreadsheet software without having to code a single line of the Visual Basic
development system,” said Joseph McMullen, PES Product Manager for IPS. “INPLANT version 4.1
users can now drag and drop multiphase flow model parameters, such as relief valve discharge
coefficients, fluid densities, pipeline diameters and solver options, directly into Excel spreadsheets.
The ability to access any model parameter easily, change its unit of measure and determine its
status as either an input or calculated value from within the Excel software puts the user in the
driver’s seat for data manipulation and integration.”

Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software provides the ideal platform for engineers to create an
operations interface that can be used by INPLANT software experts and non-experts alike, tapping
the user’s imagination in ways that are all but impossible with a pre-configured interface.
Communication between the flow simulator and Excel spreadsheet software is bi-directional and
requires absolutely no coding skills on the part of the user.

INPLANT software version 4.1 is available immediately. Visit www.simsci-esscor.com for more
information.
