AFT is a sister company to Chemstations, who develops CHEMCAD chemical processing simulation software. Both are a subsidiaries of Datacor Inc. and offer powerful integration for engineers. By combining AFT and CHEMCAD, engineers can enhance system design and optimization. CHEMCAD excels in modeling chemical processes, while AFT specializes in fluid flow analysis, enabling precise simulation and refinement of both process and flow dynamics for improved system performance.

Why Choose CHEMCAD?

Flexible and  intuitive, CHEMCAD is the scalable solution that supports multiple applications - from research and development to process design, operations and education. Our chemical process simulation software has established itself as an important insight and productivity tool.

Confident Calculations

We love spreadsheets too, but they are a hassle to maintain and won’t help you model complex processes. CHEMCAD makes it easy to explore chemical process scenarios without risking your assets or draining your resources.

Made by Engineers for Engineers

This integrated suite fits into the chemical engineering workflow and adapts to how you approach engineering challenges. CHEMCAD is specifically designed to enable chemical engineers to drive productivity, accomplish day-to-day tasks, and tackle the toughest chemical process models.

One tool, multiplied capabilities

Stop switching between software for different process tasks. Whether you are looking at steady state or transient processes, performing a heat and material balance, or modeling your asset as a digital twin, CHEMCAD’s all-in-one user interface will keep your organization’s day-to-day tasks seamlessly moving forward.
