COCO - CAPE-OPEN to CAPE-OPEN simulation environment
 Help

COCO

Welcome to COCO.

COCO is a CAPE-OPEN compatible simulation environment. It consists of the following 4 parts:

COFE: CAPE-OPEN Flow-sheeting Environment
TEA: Thermodynamics for Engineering Applications
COUSCOUS: CAPE-OPEN Unit-operations (Simple)
CORN: CAPE-OPEN Reaction Numerics

The following additional utilities are available:
Water: IAPWS-97 based steam and water property package
CORK: the CAPE-OPEN Registry Kit
OATS: out-of-process thermo server and CAPE-OPEN logging tool; includes unit operation logger tool COULIS
COFE.xlt: a Microsoft ExcelTM spread-sheet template designed to include a COFE document in an Excel workbook
JUIcE: an editor for unit operation icons
TERNYP: TERNarY Plugin. Creation of phase diagrams, property plots and residue curves of ternary systems
COFEStand: COFE stand-alone command line based flowsheet solver utility
ConfigureTEA: a utility application to configure and maintain TEA property packages
ConfigureCORN: a utility application to configure and maintain CORN reaction packages
CUP: COCO Update utility for online software updates

Third party components that are shipped with COCO:
ChemSep LITE: ChemSep is a program for performing multi-component separation process calculations
COSMOtherm LITE: COSMOtherm is a program for the quantitative calculation of solvation mixture thermodynamics based on quantum chemistry
CAPE-OPEN type libraries: type libraries required for CAPE-OPEN development and CAPE-OPEN based inter-process communication
EPA WAR and .NET CAPE-OPEN: WAR plugin and .NET CAPE-OPEN libraries (External link)
Excel Unit Operation: unit operation using Microsoft ExcelTM as calculation engine (External link)

For additional resources and information on COCO, please visit the COCO web site.

COCO is developed and maintained by AmsterCHEM.
