Windows-based software is used for optimising the design of processes, experiments and analytical techniques
Aston Scientific has announced that it has been appointed UK distributor of Grabitech's MultiSimplex Windows-based software.
This is used for optimising the design of processes, experiments, and analytical techniques.
MultiSimplex software can be used to mathematically predict optimal reactions, procedures, or routes that can be used to dramatically improve the quality of products, efficiency of processes, and performance of scientific instruments in a fraction of the time of conventional trial and error techniques.
After just a few experimental steps, the software can be used to easily predict the optimal conditions for any reaction, operation, or process; this can save many hours days or even weeks of experimental work that would otherwise be necessary to achieve the same result.
MultiSimplex optimisation is based on a combination of mathematical prediction and practical trials that are performed step-by-step.
The efficient and systematic search strategies of the optimisation algorithms combine together with the user's skill and experience to form a powerful tool that can be used to optimise almost any technical system in a quick and easy way.
Numerous documented examples are available to illustrate how using MultiSimplex software can save time and money; in one example quality characteristics improved by 50-100%., in another manufacturing throughputs increased up to 50%, another example shows how combustion facilities have cut environmental emissions by 20-30% and some analytical laboratories have even cut analysis time by up to 50%.
MultiSimplex software can simultaneously handle several optimisation criteria and find optimum conditions with a minimum of practical trials.
Basic or modified simplex methods and numerical and graphical evaluation are supported and use of the software is well within the capabilities of engineers and scientists due to the 'friendly' user interface.
A download evaluation version is available from Aston Scientifics' web site (link above) and full UK based technical support and consultancy service is offered.
