Free Chemical Engineering Powerhouse

The COCO simulator is a professional-grade tool that lets anyone model complex chemical processes for free. It acts like an open-source Lego set for chemistry, allowing users to build custom plant simulations from scratch.

Originally designed as a testing ground for industry-standard software, this platform has become a hidden gem for students and researchers. Because it is modular, you can easily plug in your own thermodynamic packages or unique unit operations. It removes the massive cost barrier usually associated with high-end engineering design software. Many people are surprised that such sophisticated industrial power is available without a commercial price tag.
