Workaround/Comment
If you use multiple flowsheet sections

and choose to hide some of them on the
flowsheet, then attempt to move the
icon representing a stream flowing into
the hidden section, Aspen Plus may
crash.
Sometimes property tables which
reference streams are not regenerated
after making changes to a run.
This happens when the changes you

make are handled via an Edit Run. To
force the tables to update, reinitialize the
simulation and re-run it. You can turn off
Interactively Load Results on the
Tools | Options | Run tab to ensure
this is always updated.
If you use a filename which includes

extra dots (such as file.name.bkp),
some functions may not work.
Avoid using the period character (.) in

filenames except before the actual file
extension.
When you attempt to use Aspen Energy

Analyzer from an Aspen Plus run in
which you opened a file from a nonwritable folder, Aspen Energy Analyzer
will crash.
Copy the Aspen Plus file to a writable

folder and open it from this location
before using it with Aspen Energy
Analyzer.
Process Modeling (Aspen Plus)
If, in Aspen Simulation Workbook, you

run an Aspen Plus case with Economic
Analysis active, and that case fails to
converge, Economic Analysis does not
run but Aspen Simulation Workbook
may hang while waiting for economic
results.
In the Find Variables dialog box for the
Custom Tables feature, the search
capability does not work.
You can add variables to Custom Tables

from the tree view of the Find Variables
dialog box, or by copying and pasting
them form forms, etc.
Aspen Plus might crash If you enter an

invalid plant data URL.
Set the URL after saving your work and

use Save As Default so that the URL only
needs to be entered once.

Economic Evaluation
Economic Evaluation V8.0

Product Family
The following section describes known issues that can apply to Economic
Evaluation V8.0 Product Family.
Coexistence Issues
Machines having multiple versions of

Aspen Economic Evaluation installed
will experience the following
behavior:
1. On a Windows XP machine, once V7.3.2

ACCE is launched, the ACCE API current
version will become V7.3.2 and the
Spreadsheet Import/Export feature will work
in the normal manner. Note:
simultaneously running ACCE V8 and V7.3.2
will cause problems in determining the
current API version. When this happens,
shut down both versions of ACCE and start
the version where running the Spreadsheet
Import/Export feature is desired.
Once V8.0 Aspen Economic

Evaluation is installed, it will become
the default version on the machine.
This means the V8.0 version of the
Economic Evaluation API will become
the default (or current) version.
This could affect the behavior for
users who run the Spreadsheet
Import/Export feature in V7.3.2
2. On a Windows 7 machine, the API current

version does not change at runtime (as it
does on an XP machine). Thus, once ACCE
V8.0 is installed, this will become the
default/current EE API version. If users
desire to run the Spreadsheet Import/Export
feature in V7.3.2, the V7.3.2 ICAPICOM.dll
will need to be re-registered. This can be
done via the following steps:
Economic Evaluation
a.
Close all Economic Evaluation

programs.
b.
Open the command prompt as an

administrator. NOTE: It is not
sufficient to have administrator
privileges. The User has to right
click on the DOS shell application to
run as administrator.
27
c.
Browse to the EE V7.3.2

Program\Sys directory: E.G.:
\Program
Files(x86)\AspenTech\Economic
Evaluation V7.3.2\Program\Sys.
d.
Run the command: regsvr32

icapicom.dll
e.
A message dialog saying DLL

register server was successful etc.
should be obtained.
f. Open V7.3.2 and run spreadsheet

import/export.
Note: follow the same instructions to re-register
V8.0 as the current API version (except run the
command from the V8.0 Sys directory).

CQ 404999
If the source media is available, the

user should make it available during
this process. This media can be the
download location, network drive, or
DVD (when available).
Source media may be required when Resiliency

is triggered.
The software will trigger Resiliency to configure
the application for a new or Restricted user on a
machine. This will occur the first time any EE
application is launched (by the user) and will not
occur again once it has successfully completed.
Thus, in order for the system to behave as
designed, it is important to let the Resiliency
process complete. Under normal situations,
Resiliency can be completed without requiring
the Source Media from which the application
was installed from. However, there have been
complications where a request is made during
the Resiliency Process for the source media.
During testing, we have determined potential
cause for the source media requirement. If
another user on the same machine ran MS Excel
from within the EE system, even if the Excel
spreadsheet is merely opened and closed
without saving, some file attributes change in
Excel that cause the installer to think the
installation has changed (the attributes that are
changed are invisible to the user). Once this
happens, the source media requirement is made
by the installer.
If the source media is not available,

the original user that ran MS Excel
from the EE application will need to
run the same test (under the original
account). If the Reporter was run,
the user should open the
corresponding template xls file in
Excel and save the file (w/o any
changes). This will change the time
stamp on the file and the installer
will ignore it when the Resiliency
process is run. The Excel template
files are located in:
\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents\AspenTech\Shared
Economic Evaluation
V8.0\Reporter\Templates
The root cause of this issue is a Microsoft Excel

2003 design issue (it does not happen with
Word 2003 or Excel 2007) and cannot be fully
addressed within the application or installer. As
a reference, the following MS KB link describes
the Excel behavior.

rather than finding entries in every topic
of the Online Help. When moving to
different topics in the Contents tab, the
Index and keyword search will only find
entries contained in those topics.
Use the Contents to navigate through the

online help, or making local searches
under the relevant topic.
There is an Alias field in the Pure

Component Editor that may be edited by
the user. This Alias is used to identify
the component in the Aspen Properties
databanks and must therefore match a
value in those databanks.
The Alias is usually filled in when

selecting a component from the Aspen
Properties databanks.
If the user enters an Alias that is not

known by Aspen Properties, the
component will be treated as a user
component and no parameters
available, unless they are entered in the
Pure Component Dialog.
If the user entered Alias contains invalid
characters for Aspen Properties, the
software may crash.
If the information is entered manually

instead, the user must be aware of the
above and ensure that no invalid
characters are entered. Please observe
Aspen Properties rules. If the user
intends to use a component from the
Aspen Properties databanks and is not
sure of what its Alias may be, it is useful
to start Aspen Properties, use the
Component Search Wizard and check the
component Alias retrieved

When using Simulation Importer to

import a HYSYS simulation, the
connection times out and not all of the
data is imported.
For a typical V8.0 Aspen Basic
Engineering installation where only the
End User Tools have been installed, the
Drawing Editor Copy and Cut operations
will fail to copy the selected region to
the clipboard. Paste will return an error
indicating that there is nothing to paste.
Open HYSYS one time before importing

any simulations to initialize APED.
Use the Symbol Replication Tool, i.e., run

ZyqadSymbolsReplication.exe in
UserServices\bin, to copy the symbol
library to the client system.

Location of project files
On Windows 2008 Server, project files

created in certain locations (e.g. C:\) do
not have sufficient default permissions in
order to allow Aspen OnLine to update

project files are created and stored in the
Aspen OnLine working directory. This
location is
C:\AspenTech\AspenOnLineV8.0.
Alternatively, ensure that the project
folder has full access for all users in
order for Aspen OnLine to function
