Steady-state only
Flowsheets are rarely carried into dynamic and control studies.

Chemical & Process
Open, scriptable process simulation
Parse Aspen Plus and HYSYS flowsheets, project them to equation-based models, and couple them with control logic and pipeline networks.
$ msx lint ./plant --format json
$ msx optimize Reactor reactor.mo
$ msx simulate Reactor reactor.mo --stop-time 3600
What slows chemical & process teams down
Closed formats
Process models are hard to review, diff, and automate.
Disconnected controls
Control logic is designed without a dynamic process model to test against.

What ModelScript does for you
Flowsheet parsing
Read Aspen input and backup files into a typed workspace.
Equation-based projection
Lower unit operations to DAEs for dynamic simulation.
Control co-design
Couple PLC programs to process models.
Optimization
Direct-collocation optimal control and parameter estimation.
