Flowchart-based simulation & calculation

Process flowsheet simulator
with PFD drawing and mass balance.

IAutoDrawSim is a flowchart-based simulation and calculation platform. Build models with nodes and streams, attach custom scripts or equations, and run steady-state or dynamic simulations — on one canvas. Used for chemical, manufacturing, logistics, energy, healthcare, finance and more.

  • One canvas: flowchart and calculation stay in sync
  • Node scripts, stream variables, Excel-driven scenarios

One canvas for drawing and calculating

Stop switching between Visio, Excel, and heavy simulation software. IAutoDrawSim keeps your model and your numbers on the same sheet — they never drift apart.

No more disconnected diagram and spreadsheet

Draw nodes and connect streams — the calculation updates as you draw. Edit flow rates, recycle loops, approval rules, or inventory policies, and the entire model recalculates instantly.

Custom logic, no compiled code

Attach your own formulas to reactors, mixers, separators, queues, resources, or approval nodes. No compiled subroutines, no proprietary plugins. Model exactly the step your project uses.

Deliverables ready for review

Export stream tables, balance reports, and consumption indices to Excel or PDF. Fast enough for conceptual design, formatted to match the deliverables your project reviewers expect.

Built for anyone who thinks in flows

Used across process industries, manufacturing, logistics, energy, healthcare, finance, and public services — anywhere a process can be drawn, calculated, and simulated.

From blank canvas to running model in 3 steps

Skip weeks of complex simulator setup. Build and converge a full model in hours.

  1. 01

    Draw the flow

    Drag nodes for equipment, tasks, resources, or services. Connect streams for material, energy, information, people, or capital.

  2. 02

    Define the rules

    Set parameters, write custom equations, or link Excel data sources. Recycle loops and recycles converge automatically.

  3. 03

    Run and deliver

    Run steady-state or dynamic simulation, inspect curves and data tables, export Excel or PDF reports, or publish a read-only model.

Case study

Reversible Esterification of Ethyl Acetate, with Recycle

A non‑isothermal esterification process with adiabatic reactor and unreacted raw‑material recycle loop. IAutoDrawSim auto‑converges the closed material‑energy balance without manual tear‑stream iteration.

Why this model matters

The closed recycle loop from separator SEP back to mixer MIX is the core challenge: spreadsheets require tedious manual trial‑and‑error, while IAutoDrawSim resolves loop convergence together with coupled material‑energy balance during flowsheet solving. Equilibrium constant K automatically varies with reactor temperature for adiabatic operation.

The same canvas can model production lines, inventory networks, approval workflows, hospital queues, or service call chains.

Frequently asked questions

Is it only for chemical engineering?

No. Chemical is one of the core use cases. Any problem with flows, nodes, variables, and calculations can be modeled — manufacturing, logistics, energy, healthcare, finance, government, and IT processes included.

How is it different from Visio + Excel?

Visio draws, Excel calculates, and the two drift apart. IAutoDrawSim keeps the diagram and the calculation on one canvas. Change the model, run it, and the numbers update.

How is it different from Aspen or HYSYS?

Aspen and HYSYS are strict thermodynamic simulators with rigorous property databases. IAutoDrawSim is for non-rigorous, cross-domain, fast-iteration process modeling and calculation.

Do I need programming knowledge to use it?

No. Built-in nodes can be configured with parameters. Complex logic can be written in simple JavaScript — no Fortran, no compiled code, no plugins.

Can I use the offline license without internet?

Yes. The Offline Perpetual license runs fully locally on your PC. No network connection is required after activation, and no project data leaves your device.

What file formats can I export?

You can export stream tables and material balance reports to Excel (.xlsx) and PDF. Diagrams can be exported as high-resolution SVG and PNG.

Can I upgrade from trial to paid?

Yes. All files created in the free trial are fully compatible with the paid version. You can upgrade at any time without losing your work.
