A Focused Simulation Workflow

DPSIM Static Module is designed as a focused starting point for mineral process simulation. Users can build a circuit, configure equipment models, define material stream properties and review the calculated results in a way that supports engineering discussion and documentation.

Unit Operation Models

Use models for crushing, grinding, classification, concentration, dewatering, feeds and auxiliary operations.

What You Can Do With DPSIM Static Module

  • Build and evaluate steady-state mineral processing flowsheets.
  • Configure unit operation models and review equipment behavior.
  • Check material balances and compare process alternatives.
  • Use the online model reference to understand available public models.
  • Prepare simulation outputs for engineering reports and project communication.

From Model Setup to Engineering Review

A simulation study is only useful when the results are easy to inspect and communicate. DPSIM supports the engineering workflow around the model: setting up the circuit, reviewing calculated values, comparing scenarios and turning results into material that can be discussed with a project team.

Public Model Reference

The DPSIM website includes a public model reference so users can review the available unit operation models before and during evaluation. The reference is intended to make model behavior, inputs and terminology easier to understand.

Advanced DPSIM Applications

Beyond steady-state simulation, DPSIM can support advanced work involving dynamic behavior, process control studies and reliability analysis. For project-specific studies, EPM can help define the right DPSIM workflow and deployment approach.
